Cardiac output (CO) defines the blood flow arriving from the heart to the different organs in the body and it is thus a primary determinant of global 02 transport. Cardiac output has traditionally been measured using ...
Brugada syndrome (BS) is a genetic arrhythmogenic disease characterized by a distinctive electrocardiographic pattern, associated with a high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) in ...
Study and evaluation of patients with heart failure related with ischemic and dilated cardiomyopathy is interesting for the clinical practice. Similarly, the analysis of the behavior of the respiratory system of patients ...
The main objective of the present Doctoral Thesis is to obtain new quantitative features by means of digital image processing and machine learning for the differentiation of normal, reactive and malignant lymphoid cells ...
(English) This thesis aims to explore cardiac cell physiology across various scales, also known as translational cardiology. The research employs novel computational techniques from Biomedical engineering and utilizes ...
The main objective of this thesis was to study the variability of the cardiac, respiratory and vascular systems through electrocardiographic (ECG), respiratory flow (FLW) and blood pressure (BP) signals, in patients with ...
In recent years, the study of computational hemodynamics within anatomically complex vascular regions has generated great interest among clinicians. The progress in computational fluid dynamics, image processing and ...
Cerebral blood flow (CBF) reflects the rate of delivery of arterial blood to the brain. Since no nutrients, oxygen or water can be stored in the cranial cavity due to space and pressure restrictions, a continuous perfusion ...
The heart is a complex system. From the transmembrane cell activity to the spatial organization in helicoidal fibers, it includes several spatial and temporal scales. The heart muscle is surrounded by two main tissues that ...
Cardiac myocytes constitute a unique physiological system. They are the muscle cells that build up heart tissue and provide the force to pump blood by synchronously contracting at every beat. This contraction is regulated ...
(English) Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in the world. The heart has a very limited regeneration capacity. Thus, following tissue damage – e.g., myocardial infarction –, heart transplantation ...
