This paper describes the magmaOffenburg 3D simulation team trying to qualify for RoboCup 2012. While last year’s TDP focused on the tool set created for 3D simulation and the support for heterogeneous robot models, this year we focus on the different ways how robot behavior can be defined in the magmaOffenburg framework and how those behaviors can be improved by learning.

Introduction Determining the level of atrioventricular [AV] block noninvasively can be challenging (ie, AV nodal versus His-Purkinje system). Presyncope or syncope in the setting of AV block is often assumed to be due to progression of the conduction disease. We describe a woman with second-degree AV block with narrow complex QRS with unclear level of AV block. She developed pause-dependent tor...

This paper describes the magmaOffenburg 3D simulation team trying to qualify for RoboCup 2013. While last year’s TDP focused on different ways how robot behavior can be defined in the magmaOffenburg framework this year we focus on how we statistically evaluate new features on distributed systems. We also show some results gained through such analysis.

Intermittent atrial undersensing in patients with single-lead VDD pacemakers is regarded as being of limited clinical significance. Nevertheless, in patients with bradycardia-mediated repolarization abnormalities, undersensing could result in RR-interval oscillations due to changes in pacemaker mode and this could act as a trigger for the initiation of torsades de pointes. We report our finding...

A 23 year old woman with idiopathic long QT syndrome had repeated syncopal attacks associated with torsades de pointes. T wave alternans (TWA) was recorded and the QT interval was abnormally prolonged during treadmill exercise test. Monophasic action potential (MAP) alternans also appeared after an abrupt shortening of the cycle length in electrophysiological study. After intravenous administra...

A 79-year-old woman who underwent catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation presented with Torsades de Pointes (TdP). Aggravation of prolonged QT interval which is most likely due to neural modulation by catheter ablation, played major role in the initiation of TdP. The patient was successfully treated with isoproterenol during acute stage and discharged after stabilization without i...
