Vector Fitting (VF) has been introduced as a partial-fraction basis response fitting methodology for over a decade. Because of its reliability and versatility, VF has been applied and extended to a number of areas. In this book chapter, we will discuss the applications of VF in the context of macromodeling of linear structures in signal/power integrity analyses. We will also discuss main featur...

Letter by Shiyovich et al Regarding Article, “Resumption of Chest Compressions After Successful Defibrillation and Risk for Recurrence of Ventricular Fibrillation in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest” In their study, Conover et al investigated whether ventricular fibrillation (VF) recurrence in first 30 s post shock of cardiac arrest victims with initial rhythm of VF is related to timing of post s...

A 17-year-old man was referred for aborted sudden cardiac death. Ventricular fibrillation (VF) was recorded by automated external defibrillator. Post-resuscitation electrocardiograms showed frequent monomorphic premature ventricular complexes (PVCs), with left bundle branch block configuration and inferior axis. Cardiac arrest due to VF recurred twice within the initial 42 hours. Rhythm monitor...

Detection of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) in electrocardiography (ECG) has clinical research significance. The complexity of the heart signals has changed significantly, when the heart state switches from normal sinus rhythm to VT or VF. With the consideration of the non-stationary of VT and VF, we proposed a novel method for classification of VF and VT in this...

Seasonal hyperacute panuveitis (SHAPU) is a potentially blinding ocular disease occurring in Nepal that principally affects young children. Random amplification of partially purified vitreous fluid (VF)-derived nucleic acid revealed the presence of human anelloviruses in VF of SHAPU patients. In a comparative study of patients with different ocular pathologies, SHAPU patients were at highest ri...

Vocal fold (VF) motion is a fundamental process in voice production, and is also a challenging problem for numerical computation because the VF dynamics depend on nonlinear coupling of air flow with the response of elastic channels (VF), which undergo opening and closing, and induce internal flow separation. The traditional modeling approach makes use of quasisteady flow approximation or Bernou...

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) from ventricular fibrillation (VF) during coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of total and cardiovascular mortality, and in more than half of SCD cases VF occurs as the first symptom of CAD. Several epidemiological studies have shown that sudden death of a family member is a risk factor for SCD and VF during acute myocardial infarction (MI), independent o...
