Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently become a popular term in the technological world. AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence with the capacity for achieving goals within computers. Machine learning (ML) – a subtype of AI – refers to a statistical model that is able to independently learn to make inferences on new data based on data it has previously analysed. ML has markedly… View more

The structural and/or functional abnormality of the cardiac electrovascular system is the most common cause of world mortality accounting for 29.0 % of deaths, followed by infectious diseases (16.2 %) and cancers (12.6 %) (WHO 2008 report). 1 Abnormalities in the cardiac electrical system (arrhythmias and sudden death) and/or mechanical function (heart failure) constitute one of the major causes… View more

Clinical research that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and big data may aid the prediction and/or detection of subclinical cardiovascular diseases by providing additional knowledge about disease onset, progression or outcome. Clinical decision-making, disease diagnostics, risk prediction or individualised therapy may be informed by insights obtained from AI algorithms. As health records have… View more

In 1970, Durrer et al. recorded the total excitation of the human heart with 870 electrodes and confirmed the first 10 ms of left ventricular (LV) activation as trifascicular in nature.1 The rapid and synchronous activation of the LV through the specialised His–Purkinje network is highly intricate and efficient, preserving normal physiological coupling between electrical excitation and mechanical… View more

Cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) is a widely-performed standard treatment for improving cardiac function and quality of life in patients with heart failure.1 After CRT, however, 30–40 % of patients do not experience improvements in left ventricular (LV) function and clinical symptoms.2–3 The key factors for increasing the response rate to CRT are identification of the optimal LV lead… View more

Electrical Remodelling Evidence Supporting Atrial Remodelling The concept of electrical remodelling was first introduced in 1995 simultaneously by Wijffels et al.1 and Morillo et al.2 who demonstrated that once sustained atrial fibrillation (AF) was induced in goats, or rapid atrial pacing was performed in dogs, physiological changes occurred that favoured the maintenance of AF.3 This led to the… View more

Considerable evidence supports the importance that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) has regarding cardiovascular health and prognosis.1 Specific variables derived from heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) at rest and with exercise help assess the status of the ANS. Interest has also peaked on the use of HRV to assess the quality of an exercise programme. Among the athletic… View more
