SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING ...

The book presents recent advances in signal processing techniques for modeling  analysis  and
understanding of the heart's electrical activity during atrial fibrillation. This arrhythmia is
the most commonly encountered in clinical practice and its complex and metamorphic nature
represents a challenging problem for clinicians  engineers  and scientists. Research on atrial
fibrillation has stimulated the development of a wide range of signal processing tools to
better understand the mechanisms ruling its initiation  maintenance  and termination. This book
provides undergraduate and graduate students  as well as researchers and practicing engineers 
with an overview of techniques  including time domain techniques for atrial wave extraction 
time-frequency analysis for exploring wave dynamics  and nonlinear techniques to characterize
the ventricular response and the organization of atrial activity. The book includes an
introductory chapter about atrial fibrillation and its mechanisms  treatment  and management.
The successive chapters are dedicated to the analysis of atrial signals recorded on the body
surface and to the quantification of ventricular response. The rest of the book explores
techniques to characterize endo- and epicardial recordings and to model atrial conduction.
Under the appearance of being a monothematic book on atrial fibrillation  the reader will not
only recognize common problems of biomedical signal processing but also discover that analysis
of atrial fibrillation is a unique challenge for developing and testing novel signal processing
tools. Table of Contents: Analysis of Ventricular Response During Atrial Fibrillation  
Organization Measures of Atrial Activity During Fibrillation   Modeling Atrial Fibrillation:
From Myocardial Cells to ECG   Algorithms for Atrial Tachyarrythmia Detection for Long-Term
Monitoring with Implantable Devices
