van der Lingen ACJ, Verstraelen TE, van Erven L, Meeder JG, Theuns DA, Vernooy K, Wilde AAM, Maass AH, Allaart CP
International guidelines recommend implantation of an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) in non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) below 35% despite optimal medical therapy and a life expectancy of more than 1 year with good functional status. We propose refinement of these recommendations in patients with NICM, with careful consideration of additional risk parameters for both arrhythmic and non-arrhythmic death. These additional p...

Computer based method for identification of fibrotic scars from electrograms and local activation times on the epi- and endocardial surfaces of the ventricles.
Okenov A, Nezlobinsky T, Zeppenfeld K, Vandersickel N, Panfilov AV
Cardiac fibrosis stands as one of the most critical conditions leading to lethal cardiac arrhythmias. Identifying the precise location of cardiac fibrosis is crucial for planning clinical interventions in patients with various forms of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias. As fibrosis impedes and alters the path of electrical waves, detecting fibrosis in the heart can be achieved through analyzing electrical signals recorded from its surface. In current clinical practices, it has become feasible t...

Self-Healing Transparent Poly(dimethyl)siloxane with Tunable Mechanical Properties: Toward Enhanced Aging Materials for Space Applications.
Yilmaz D, Du Fraysseix M, Lewandowski S, Perraud S, Ibarboure E, Llevot A, Carlotti S
When exposed to the geostationary orbit, polymeric materials tend to degrade on their surface due to the appearance of cracks. Implementing the self-healing concept in polymers going to space is a new approach to enhancing the lifespan of materials that cannot be replaced once launched. In this study, the elaboration of autonomous self-healing transparent poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) materials resistant to proton particles is presented. The PDMS materials are functionalized with various composi...
