Abstract

The relationship between duration of blood ejection and cardiac cycle at rest can be well described by a linear function. This relationship is maintained in weightlessness as well. The derived formula used in calculations of the theoretical values of the ejection phase during an exposure to LBNP makes it possible to predict LBNP test tolerance in the weightless state. The level of deviation of factual values of heart rate from theoretical values may be an additional index to be used in assessing health status of crewmembers inflight.

Left-ventricle myocardium segmentation using a coupled level-set with a priori knowledge.

This paper presents a coupled level-set segmentation of the myocardium of the left ventricle of the heart using a priori information. From a fast marching initialisation, two fronts representing the endocardium and epicardium boundaries of the left ventricle are evolved as the zero level-set of a higher dimension function. We introduce a novel and robust stopping term using both gradient and region-based information. The segmentation is supervised both with a coupling function and using a probabilistic model built from training instances. The robustness of the segmentation scheme is evaluated by performing a segmentation on four unseen data-sets containing high variation and the performance of the segmentation is quantitatively assessed.

Left ventricular assist system through the left ventricle for acute myocardial infarction: report of a case.

A 49-year-old man, who had suffered from acute myocardial infarction due to left main trunk occlusion, developed cardiogenic shock and was successfully treated with an implantation of a left ventricular assist system with left ventricular apical drainage. At present he is awaiting a heart transplant at approximately 485 days since the operation. The timely application of a left ventricular assist system before the development of multiple organ failure is thus considered to be effective for patients demonstrating acute myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock.
