To tackle the problem, Subspace Search Variational Mode Decomposition (SSVMD) was proposed, which determines the optimal solution by continuously narrowing the parameter subspace and implements data preprocessing by removing baseline drift noise and high-frequency noise modes. In response to the unclear spatial characteristics and excessive data dimension in long-duration ECG data, a Fourier Pooling Broad Learning System (FPBLS) is proposed. FPBLS integrates a Fourier feature layer and a broad pooling layer to express the input data with more obvious features, reducing the data dimension and maintaining effective features.

This study proposes a framework to visualize computational modeling results in an immersive environment for comprehensive analysis of the geometric implications of implanted devices on human heart function. After computational analysis, the biomechanical behavior of the Living Heart Human Model (LHHM) was used to develop MR content for the immersive visualization of the heart kinematics and the electrical field. Additionally, MR content was developed to assess the spatial implications of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction as observed in transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR). Findings demonstrated that augmented exploration of cardiac biomechanics can be used for a better understanding of the electrical field of the beating heart. In the case of TMVR simulation, MR-related analysis of LVOT obstruction can result in improved visualization and manipulation of 3D anatomies and assessment of device-induced anatomic constraints.

These have included either (i) mechanical models that assumed simultaneous myocardial activation, or (ii) electromechanical models that assumed time-varying myocardial activation. The influence of these modelling assumptions of myocardial activation on clinically relevant metrics, like myocardial strain, commonly used for validation of cardiac models has yet to be systematically examined, leading to uncertainty over their influence on the predictions of these models. This study examined the effects of simultaneous (mechanical), uniform endocardial, 3-patch endocardial (simulating the fascicles of the His-Purkinje system) and 1-patch endocardial (simulating the atrioventricular node) excitation sequences on the mechanical response of a synthetic human left ventricular model. The influence of the duration of the activation and time-to-peak contraction was also investigated. The electromechanical and mechanical models produced different strain distributions in early systole. However, these differences decayed as systole progressed. Using the same activation duration (74 ms) the average peak-systolic circumferential strain difference between the models was 0.65±0.37 %. A slightly prolonged activation duration (134 ms) resulted in no substantial difference increase (0.76±0.47 %). Differences up to 3.5 % were observed for prolonged activation durations (200 ms). Endocardial excitation produced non-physiological cumulative activation time distributions compared to the other models. Septal 1-patch excitation resulted in early systolic strain response that resembled pathological left bundle branch block. Decreased time-to-peak contraction exaggerated the effects of electrophysiology. The study found that excitation sequence minimally affects strain distributions at peak systole for physiological and even slightly pathological activation durations. However, electromechanical models with (patho)physiologically informed activation sequences are important for the accurate prediction of early systolic and pathological late systolic responses.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49836,"journal":{"name":"Medical Engineering & Physics","volume":"134 ","pages":"Article 104255"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142748413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to investigate the synergistic pathogenicity of these etiologies. The generation and propagation of venous sound was simulated by in vitro experiment. The entity models of sinus vessel, sinus wall and temporal bone cavity were 3D-printed using resin based on CT imaging. Pulsatile venous flow was generated through sinus lumen, with five velocity levels. Venous sound was collected and analyzed. It was found that pressure and pulsation of venous sound were determined by the coupling of three etiology conditions. Low velocity would not induce pulsatile sound anyway. Sub-high or higher velocity induced mild pulsatile sound coupling with normal sinus and wall. Medium or higher velocity induced moderate pulsatile sound coupling with SSWD and normal sinus. Sub-low or higher velocity induced moderate or severe pulsatile sound coupling with SSWD and sinus malformation. In conclusion, PT diagnosis should include the three investigated etiologies due to their contribution to amplifying venous sound.
