A Langevin model for complex cardiological time series

There has been considerable efforts to understand the underlying complex dynamics in physiological time series. Methods originated from statistical physics revealed a non-Gaussian statistics and long range correlations in those signals. This suggests that the regulatory system operates out of equilibrium. Herein the complex fluctuations in blood pressure time series were successful described by...

Computerised cardiological case notes.

Optical Mark Reader forms have been used by the Cardiac Department at St Thomas's Hospital for six years to store clinical and haemodynamic data by computer. Forms are completed by clinical staff in outpatients and also for those patients undergoing cardiac catheterisation. Three documents are used to record the symptoms and signs at the clinical consultation, the results of relevant investigat...

Cardiological aspects of stroke prevention.

Many cardiac disorders and their treatment are associated with an increased risk for ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, so it is important for cardiologists to be aware of recent advances in the field of stroke prevention. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac disorder associated with a substantial risk for ischemic stroke (IS). The availability of implantable cardiac monitoring devi...
