Models and Measurements of the Cardiac Electric Field
The electric field of the heart was described diagrammatically for the first time by A. Waller in 1888. However, it was not until a little more than ten years ago that with the development of micro electronic techniques, it became accessible to biophysical modeling, to exact physiological measurements, and to application in advanced clinical diagnosis. These possibilities opened the way to the treatment of questions which are called the direct and the inverse solution of the cardioelectric problem. Several groups of investigators are now working to achieve a complete biophysical and physiological description of the generation of the cardiac electric field. This work could well form the basis...
Pathogenesis of Stress-Induced Heart Disease
A recent comprehensive study of stress and human health by the Institute of Medicine/National Academy of Sciences concludes that individuals who experience any of a wide range of stressful events or situations are at increased risk of developing a physical or mental disorder, including heart disease. Since cardiovascular disease continues to be a leading cause of illness and death, and since the etiology and pathogenesis of several of the commonest forms of heart disease are incompletely known, it is of fundamental impor tance to study the potential role of stress in the genesis of heart disease. Accordingly an International Symposium on Stress and Heart Disease was held in Winnipeg, Canada,...
Advances In Electrocardiology 2004 - Proceedings Of The 31th International Congress On Electrocardiology
Electrocardiology has witnessed a century of development since the introduction of Einthoven's Galvanometer. With rapid progress in the scientific, technological and clinical aspects of the field of electrocardiology in recent years, electrocardiology now covers a wide range of topics from molecules as the electrical origin of the heart to diagnostic and therapeutic applications for cardiovascular diseases. This volume presents the latest information and developments in the field, from basic science to clinical electrocardiology. A wide range of topics are covered, including molecular biology, genetics, channelopathy, atrial fibrillation, catheter ablation, modeling of cardiac electrical activity, cardiac mapping, as well as diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cardiac disease and arrhythmic disorders.Contributors to the volume include leading experts in the field such as PJ Schwartz, C Antzelevitch, Y Rudy, HJGM Vrijin, DG Escande, AAM Wilde, DA Kass, J Jalife and A d'Avila. The book is an essential source of reference for cardiologists and electrocardiologists.
Simulation and Imaging of the Cardiac System
The ultrasound velocity tomography allows measurement of cardiac geometries for various phases in the cardiac cycle. The present tomograph makes reconstruc tions at intervals of 20 ms. Because of a lack of clear (intramural) landmarks (except the roots of the papillairy muscle), it is difficult to pinpoint spatial trajectories of particular points in the heart. Therefore, a second method was developed of injecting radiopaque markers in the heart and following their motion patterns during the cardiac cycle with help of a biplane X-ray equipment. The data obtained with both methods can be implemented in our finite element model of the heart to compute intramural stresses and strains. The resul...
Electrocardiology '91 - Proceedings Of The Xviiith International Congress
New advances in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of electrocardiology are covered in this volume. The very latest techniques and their clinical applications are reviewed; these applications include cardiac mapping, ECG, VCG and late potentials analysis in the diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.Other highlights of the proceedings are computer analysis and computer applications in electrocardiology, heart activation modelling and body surface mapping. The proceedings will be of interest to researchers in cardiology, clinical cardiologists, physicians, biophysicists and bioengineers.
Lasers and Optical Engineering
A textbook on lasers and optical engineering should include all aspects of lasers and optics; however, this is a large undertaking. The objective of this book is to give an introduction to the subject on a level such that under graduate students (mostly juniors/seniors), from disciplines like electrical engineering, physics, and optical engineering, can use the book. To achieve this goal, a lot of basic background material, central to the subject, has been covered in optics and laser physics. Students with an elementary knowledge of freshman physics and with no formal courses in electromagnetic theory should be able to follow the book, although for some sections, knowledge of electromagnetic...
Comprehensive Electrocardiology
New edition of the classic complete reference book for cardiologists and trainee cardiologists on the theory and practice of electrocardiography, one of the key modalities used for evaluating cardiology patients and deciding on appropriate management strategies.
