Market Analysis of Cardiac Electrical Mapping Platform in the Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Market
This thesis will provide a market analysis for a cardiac electrical mapping system with an overview of the circulatory system, physiology of the heart and cardiac arrhythmias and the technology platform of the application. The ECVue system is based on electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) that …

An analysis of defibrillation and cardiac resynchronization therapy strategies in patients with failing systemic right ventricles
The expanding application of cardiac resynchronization (CRT) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator therapy (lCD) to include patients with congenital heart disease requires careful evaluation of selection criteria and unconventional adaptive strategies to ensure clinical efficacy. A single …

Improving clinical decision making with natural language processing and machine learning
… decision making. The first task was to predict cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) outcomes with better precision than the current physician guidelines for recommending the procedure. We combined NLP features from free-text physician notes with structured data to train a supervised …

Personalized Biomechanical Heart Modeling for Clinical Applications
… was to predict the short-term effect of the Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) by means of an increase of ‘max LV dp/dt’. The model personalization was performed using patients MRI and pressure data in the baseline condition — prior to CRT. Then we fixed the values of all parameters and …

Responding to resynchronization : improving the impact of biventricular pacing in the management of chronic heart failure
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a recent therapeutic intervention that is delivered by the implantation of a biventricular pacemaker system. The mechanism of action is believed to be the correction of dyssynchrony of myocardial contraction. This approach can reduce morbidity and …

New methods for quantifying the synchrony of contraction and relaxation in the heart
… of the myocardium is required to optimize cardiac function. Regional timing of contraction and relaxation is dyssynchronous in many patients with heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a highly successful treatment for dyssynchronous heart failure. Patients are currently …

Noninvasive Multi-Modality Studies of Cardiac Electrophysiology, Mechanics, and Anatomical Substrate in Healthy Adults, Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy, and Heart Failure
… electrical function of heart muscle cells or the cardiac conduction system. Electrocardiographic Imaging (ECGI) is a noninvasive modality for imaging cardiac electrophysiology. By combining recordings of the voltage distribution on the torso surface with anatomical images of the heart-torso …

Epicardial Wireless Pacemaker for Improved Left Ventricular Resynchronization (Conceptual Design)
… complications can arise leading to sudden cardiac arrest. Congestive heart failure (CHF) is one heart disease that affects the synchrony of the heart’s ventricles. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been widely accepted as a treatment for CHF. Similar to traditional dual chamber …

Parameters and algorithms to evaluate cardiac mechanics by conductance catheter
… mechanical dyssynchrony: its impact on cardiac function, the therapy for its treatment and the methods for its quantification. Specifically, we describe the conductance catheter and its use for the measurement of dyssynchrony. At the end of the Section 1, we propose a new set of indexes …
