METHOD FOR ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX RHYTHM DISORDERS
A method of analyzing a complex rhythm disorder in a human heart includes accessing signals from a plurality of sensors disposed spatially in relation to the heart, where the signals are associated with activations of the heart, and identifying a region of the heart having an activation trail that is rotational or radially emanating, where the activation trail is indicative of the complex rhythm disorder and is based on activation times associated with the activations of the heart.
SYSTEM FOR MAGNETIC DETECTION OF MYOCARDIAL FORCES
Devices and techniques for magnetic detection of myocardial forces are generally described. In some examples, cardiac tissue may be cultured such that the cardiac tissue adheres to a first post and a second post. In further examples, a magnetometer may detect a change in a magnetic field resulting from a deflection of the first post in a first direction from a first position to a second position. In some other examples a signal corresponding to the change in the magnetic field may be generated. In still other examples, frequencies of the signal outside of a first frequency range may be excluded to produce a filtered signal. In various examples, the first frequency range may include frequencies associated with beating of cardiac tissue. In still further examples, a force exerted by the cardiac tissue may be determined based at least in part on the filtered signal.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONAL CARDIAC ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY
An organ evaluation device, system, or method is configured to receive electrophysiological data from a patient or model organism and integrates the data in a computational backend environment with anatomical data input from an external source, spanning a plurality of file formats, where the input parameters are combined to visualize and output current density and/or current flow activity having ampere-based units displayed in the spatial context of heart or other organ anatomy.
Method and Device for Determining the Vital Functions of a Vehicle Occupant
A method for determining the vital functions of a vehicle occupant enables precise measurements and is easy to use without negatively affecting the vehicle occupant. The method includes determining the vital functions of the vehicle occupant using a sensor device integrated in a vehicle seat of a motor vehicle, and acquiring measurement signals of the vehicle occupant from which cardiogram signals are acquired. The method further includes using an evaluation unit to ascertain the vital functions of the vehicle occupant from the cardiogram signals. The sensor device is a magnetic field sensor device, and the cardiogram signals are magnetic cardiogram signals.
