Abstract Automatic biomedical signal recognition is an important process for several disease diagnoses. Particularly, Electrocardiogram (ECG) is commonly used to identify cardiovascular diseases. The professionals can determine the existence of cardiovascular diseases using the morphological patterns of the ECG signals. In order to raise the diagnostic accuracy and reduce the diagnostic time, automated computer aided diagnosis model is necessary. With the advancements of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, large quantity of biomedical datasets can be easily examined for decision making. In this aspect, this paper presents an intelligent biomedical ECG signal processing (IBECG-SP) technique for CVD diagnosis. The proposed IBECG-SP technique examines… More >

Abstract Cardio Vascular disease (CVD), involving the heart and blood vessels is one of the most leading causes of death throughout the world. There are several risk factors for causing heart diseases like sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy diet, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, smoking and consumption of alcohol, stress, hereditary factory etc. Predicting cardiovascular disease and improving and treating the risk factors at an early stage are of paramount importance to save the precious life of a human being. At present, the highly stressful life with bad lifestyle activities causes heart disease at a very young age. The main aim of this research is… More >

Abstract Heart failure (HF) is an intercontinental pandemic influencing in any event 26 million individuals globally and is expanding in commonness. HF healthiness consumptions are extensive and will increment significantly with a maturing populace. As per the World Health Organization (WHO), Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the major reason for all-inclusive death, taking an expected 17.9 million lives per year. CVDs are a class of issues of the heart, blood vessels and include coronary heart sickness, cerebrovascular illness, rheumatic heart malady, and various other conditions. In the medical care industry, a lot of information is as often as possible created. Nonetheless, it… More >

Abstract The human body contains a near-infinite supply of energy in chemical, thermal, and mechanical forms. However, the majority of implantable and wearable devices are still operated by batteries, whose insufficient capacity and large size limit their lifespan and increase the risk of hazardous material leakage. Such energy can be used to exceed the battery power limits of implantable and wearable devices. Moreover, novel materials and fabrication methods can be used to create various medical therapies and life-enhancing technologies. This review paper focuses on energy-harvesting technologies used in medical and health applications, primarily power collectors from the human body. Current approaches… More >

Abstract As a regular tool for assessing and diagnosing cardiovascular disease (CVD), medical professionals and health care centers, are highly dependent on cardiac imaging. The purpose of dividing the cardiac images is to paint the inner and outer walls of the heart to divide all or part of the limb’s boundaries. In order to enhance cardiologist in the process of cardiac segmentation, new and accurate methods are needed to divide the selected object, which is the left ventricle (LV). Segmentation techniques aim to provide a fast segmentation process and improve the reliability of the process. In this paper, a comparative study… More >

Abstract Heart disease, which is also known as cardiovascular disease, includes various conditions that affect the heart and has been considered a major cause of death over the past decades. Accurate and timely detection of heart disease is the single key factor for appropriate investigation, treatment, and prescription of medication. Emerging technologies such as fog, cloud, and mobile computing provide substantial support for the diagnosis and prediction of fatal diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Cloud computing provides a cost-efficient infrastructure for data processing, storage, and retrieval, with much of the extant research recommending machine learning (ML) algorithms for… More >

Abstract Primary cilium is an antenna-like and non-motile structure protruding from the apical surface of most mammalian cells including endothelial cells lining the inner side of all the blood vessels in our body. Although it has been over a century since primary cilia were discovered, the investigation about their mechano-sensing and other roles in maintaining normal functions of cardiovascular system has just started in recent years. This focused review aims to give an update about the current literature for the role of endothelial primary cilia in blood flow mechano-sensing and shear stress-shielding. To do this, we first summarized the characteristic features… More >

Abstract Background: An isolated bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with structural and functional abnormalities of the aorta and the left ventricle (LV). Although ~50% of patients with aortic coarctation (CoA) have a BAV, less is known about its impact on LV function and aortic geometry and function in CoA patients. In this cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) study, we analysed markers of LV and aortic function as well as aortic geometry in a large cohort of CoA patients with a BAV and compared them with CoA patients with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). Methods: We included 48 patients with a… More >

Abstract Comprehensive evaluation of common complex diseases associated with common gene mutations is currently a hot area of human genome research into causative new developments. A multi-fractal analysis of the genome is performed by placing the entire DNA sequence into smaller fragments and using the chaotic game representation and systematic methods to calculate the general dimensional spectrum of each fragment. This is a time consuming process as it uses floating point to represent large data sets and requires processing time. The proposed Regressive Multi-Array Deep Neural Classifier (RMDNC) system is implemented to reduce the computation time, it is called a polymorphic… More >

Abstract The contemporary evolution in healthcare technologies plays a considerable and significant role to improve medical services and save human lives. Heart disease or cardiovascular disease is the most fatal and complex disease which it is hardly to be detected through our naked eyes, as numerous people have been suffering from this disease globally. Heart attacks occur when the ranges of vital signs such as blood pressure, pulse rate, and body temperature exceed their normal values. The efficient diagnosis of heart diseases could play a substantial role in the field of cardiology, while diagnostic time could be reduced. It has been… More >
