Location and Characterization of Myocardial Infarctions Using a Multielectrode, Intracavitary Probe

Conference Computers in Cardiology 1994 · January 1, 1994 It has been suggested that catheter ablation would be more effective if it could completely ablate the thin rim of spared endocardium overlying a myocardial infarction (MI). In order to accomplish such an MI-related ablation, the MI must be located and its ... Full text Cite

A new high performance designer of optimal defibrillation experiments

Conference Proceedings Computers in Cardiology Cic 1992 · January 1, 1992 The Bayesian method of designing minimum root-mean-square (RMS) error defibrillation experiments to estimate the ED95 was implemented in a high performance program. The ED95 is the shock energy which will fibrillate 95% of the time. This program was organi ... Full text Cite
