EP Analytics Lab

☀️ EP Analytics Lab at CASEIB 2024 ☀️ We were thrilled to participate in the 2024 CASEIB Conference, held in the beautiful city of Seville from November 13th to 15th. This event provided an incredible opportunity to present some of our latest advancements in biomedical signal processing and analysis,  covering both invasive and non-invasive (ECG) signals. 🩺📊 👉 Here is a brief summary of the contributions: "Interpolación en Registros de Catéteres Multi-Electrodo para el Incremento Virtual de la Densidad" where Elisa Ramírez Candela focuses on analyzing the fulfillment of assumptions related to bipolar intracavitary signals using an interpolation algorithm of the unipolar space. "Replanteando los Electrogramas Auriculares Fraccionados Complejos desde una Perspectiva Omnipolar" by Raúl Alós Maldonado, where the potential of the omnipolar configuration over the bipolar is determined for significantly reducing false positives in the detection of ablation targets for atrial fibrillation treatment. "Complejidad del Bucle: Una Nueva Métrica para la Caracterización del Sustrato Electrofisiológico" by Lucía Ronda Rute, a study in which the complexity of the bipolar loop is proposed to assess the degree of wavefront propagation complexity in cardiac tissue, evaluating the effectiveness of electroporation using animal model recordings. "Caracterización del Sustrato Funcional en Taquicardia Ventricular Cicatrizal Mediante una Nueva Métrica Omnipolar de Heterogeneidad" by Gema Cabero. This analysis assesses the diagnostic utility of vector field heterogeneity (VFH) for locating ablation points in the treatment of ventricular tachycardia. "Estudio Retrospectivo de la Hipertensión Arterial Pulmonar a partir del Vectocardiograma" by Giovanna Ruiz , which focuses on the discriminative function of the vectorcardiogram (VCG) in determining stages of pulmonary arterial hypertension, using metrics such as maximum modulus or QRS complex area. A big thank you to the CASEIB organizers for hosting such an enriching experience, allowing us to share knowledge, connect with experts, and contribute to the growth of the biomedical engineering community. 🙌

[ES] Nos complace anunciar que el grupo EP Analytics Lab del ITACA Institute - Institute of Information and Communication Technologies de la Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) ha publicado un nuevo artículo en la revista Frontiers in Physiology, titulado "The Art of Selecting the ECG Input in Neural Networks to Classify Heart Diseases: A Dual Focus on Maximizing Information and Reducing Redundancy." Este estudio propone una metodología innovadora para el uso de señales de electrocardiograma (ECG) en la clasificación de enfermedades cardiovasculares, centrándose en la cuantificación y reducción de la redundancia presente en este tipo de señales. Además, la métrica desarrollada para medir dicha redundancia abre la posibilidad de diseñar nuevas configuraciones de ECG menos redundantes y más informativas, lo cual es especialmente útil en sistemas con menos derivaciones, como los monitores Holter y los dispositivos wearables. Este artículo ha sido posible gracias al esfuerzo y la colaboración de Elisa Ramírez Candela, Samuel Ruipérez-Campillo, Julia Vogt, Ruben Casado Arroyo, Jose Luis Merino Llorens, paco castells y Jose Millet Roig. Felicitamos y agradecemos a todos los autores por su dedicación en este proyecto, que abre nuevas posibilidades para el diagnóstico de enfermedades cardíacas 👩⚕️ 🫀. ¡A continuación, dejamos el enlace al artículo completo!
