Optical techniques have revolutionized the investigation of cardiac cellular physiology and
advanced our understanding of basic mechanisms of electrical activity, calcium homeostasis, …

Optical mapping has become an increasingly important tool to study cardiac electrophysiology
in the past 20 years. Multiple methods are used to process and analyze cardiac optical …

The sinoatrial node (SAN) and the atrioventricular node (AVN) are specialized tissues in the
heart: the SAN is specialized for pacemaking (it is the pacemaker of the heart), whereas the …

Means for high-density multiparametric physiological mapping and stimulation are critically
important in both basic and clinical cardiology. Current conformal electronic systems are …

Temporary cardiac pacemakers used in periods of need during surgical recovery involve
percutaneous leads and externalized hardware that carry risks of infection, constrain patient …

Rationale: The mechanistic basis for cardiac and renal dysfunction in sepsis is unknown. In
particular, the degree and type of cell death is undefined. Objectives: To evaluate the degree …

BACKGROUND: Application of fluorescence imaging of cardiac electrical activity is limited
by motion artifacts and/or side effects of currently available pharmacologic excitation–…

Rationale: Transmural dispersion of repolarization has been shown to play a role in the
genesis of ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation in different animal models of heart failure (HF). …

… Synchronized temperature recordings from an infrared camera and the sensor array under
irradiation by ultraviolet (UV) laser to create a distribution of heating by optical absorption …

Flexible electronic/optoelectronic systems that can intimately integrate onto the surfaces of
vital organ systems have the potential to offer revolutionary diagnostic and therapeutic …
