Microvolt-level T-wave alternans (TWA) is a new arrhythmia risk marker to assess subtle changes in repolarization that has been introduced for arrhythmia risk stratification. Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that it reflects... more
Many problems in Biology and Engineering are governed by anisotropic reaction–diffusion equations with a very rapidly varying reaction term. This usually implies the use of very fine meshes and small time steps in order to accurately... more
The development of systems capable of recognizing and categorising emotions is of interest to researchers in various scientific areas including artificial intelligence. The traditional notion that emotions and rationality are two separate... more
Emotionally laden narratives are often used as persuasive appeals by charitable organizations. Why some people decide to act after an appeal while others do not may be partly due to their physiological reactivity to the narrative. In this... more
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a broad spectrum anthracycline antibiotic used to treat multiple cancers. The use of DOX is limited by significant cardiotoxicity, hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity. Quercetin is a dietary-flavonoid found in... more
Cardiac arrhythmias are defined as disturbances in normal heart rhythm which vary from inconsequential to serious life threatening conditions. Simulation studies of cardiac arrhythmias at the whole heart level with electrocardiogram (ECG)... more
The shape and size of electrode's head may have a strong influence on the sensing performance, both of intra-cavitary electrodes and intra-tissue electrodes, whenever the sensed region is close enough to electrode's surface. The purpose... more
Aims To examine the number and type of co-morbid long-term health conditions (LTCs) and their associations with all-cause mortality in an atrial fibrillation (AF) population. Methods and results Community cohort participants (UK Biobank... more
Brief review of existing methods used in machine learning cardiac arrhythmia classification

Academia.edu seems to have messed up the formatting when viewed on-site, apologies about that.
Purpose: The present study examined whether HRV is predictive of CAN in patients with DMII. Subjects and methods: The study group consisted of 50 patients, newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The control group consisted of 50... more
En este trabajo ciertos problemas de la biología de los tejidos excitables son replanteados como problemas físicos y son estudiados mediante los conceptos y los métodos de la física no lineal. Se trata de un trabajo fundamentalmente de... more
Remifentanil is commonly used during anesthesia in pediatric electrophysiologic studies (EPS). The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of remifentanil on the cardiac electrophysiologic properties of children undergoing... more
A 76-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for unresponsiveness and hypotension. She had developed constipation that had led to ileus and had received 34 g of magnesium citrate (Magcolol P®) orally the day before. She was... more
AIMS - The Z-disc is a crucial structure of the sarcomere and is implicated in mechanosensation/ transduction. Dysregulation of Z-disc proteins often result in cardiomyopathy. We have previously shown that the Z-disc protein Cytoskeletal... more
Resumen: En esta primera parte, después de resumir y reformular la teoría de bidominio de la electrocardiología, se emplea un modelo matemático simplificado de la excitación del miocardio a través de electrodos de marcapaso para estudiar,... more
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate factors affecting the outcome following penetrating cardiac trauma in a developing country and to compare our results with others in developed countries. Analysis of the cause of trauma,... more
“Atrial tachycardia” encompasses those forms of supraventricular tachycardia that do not involve the atrioventricular node as an obligate part of the tachycardia circuit. We have previously reviewed a conceptual approach for understanding... more
Proper expression and function of the cardiac pacemaker is a critical feature of heart physiology. Two main mechanisms have been proposed: (i) the " voltage-clock, " where the hyperpolarization-activated funny current I f causes diastolic... more
Alterations of the β-adrenergic signalling, structural remodelling, and electrical failure of T-tubules are hallmarks of heart failure (HF). Here, we assess the effect of β-adrenoceptor activation on local Ca 2+ release in electrically... more
Mantendo a regularidade anual da publicação dos registos de electrofisiologia, apresentam-se os resultados referentes ao ano de 2004. Com efeito, consideramos importante a apresentação das casuísticas globais, assim como os resultados dos... more
The evidence suggests that human actions are supported by emotional elements that complement logic inference in our decision-making processes.In this paper an exploratory study is presented providing initial evidence of the positive... more
Molecular targets for pharmacological modulation of sinoatrial (SA) pacemaking include ion channels in-volved in sinoatrial pacemaking and components of the receptor-II messenger systems that may modulate, such channels in physiological... more
A case–control study (1:1) was conducted with a total of 72 patients: 36 cases (depressed LVEF) and 36 controls (normal LVEF). Patients were matched by left atrial diameter (LAD), the presence of arterial hypertension, and other variables... more
Current approaches for the ablation of atrial fibrillation are often effective, but only partially rooted in mechanistic understanding. Accordingly, they are unable to predict whether a given patient will or will not do well, or which... more
