演讲题目：Virtual heart - a basis for developing a wearable ECG imaging system for detecting origins of cardiac arrhythmias
演讲简介：Cardiac arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation (AF) are the most common cardiac diseases causing morbidity, stroke and sudden death. It is believed that cardiac arrhythmias are associated with electrical storms presenting uncoordinated multiple excitation wavelets that desynchronized the mechanical contraction of the heart. Current treatment of AF may use RF ablation, but it is a challenge to locate the origin of the electrical storms for targeted ablation. Recent advances in bio-sensor engineering and biomedical sciences shed light to image the functional electrical activity non-invasively. In this talk, I shall review recent progresses in the development of virtual heart (eHeart) and multi-lead wearable ECG vest to image the electrical activity of the heart by a combined approach of solving forward and inverse problems.
