Consistently numerous lives are affected by heart attacks and all the more vitally on the grounds that the patients do not get timely and proper help. If the patient is under constant observation then the parameters that are responsible for causing heart attack can be continuously monitored, and the right treatment at the correct time may be provided in case of emergency. So a system needs to be developed that helps in monitoring the patients suffering from heart disease at any point of time. The proposed system uses a sensor that reads both heart rate and blood pressure. These values are continuously tracked by Raspberry Pi and stored in the master node. The parameters are analysed at regular interval. If these parameters cross their normal range, then an automated message is sent via Short Message Service (SMS) gateway to the preconfigured numbers of the relatives and the doctor. The message contains the parameter values and the patient’s current location is recognised through GPS (Global Positioning System) technology, thus making it possible for the patient to get help at the right time when required.

Using wireless signals to monitor human vital signs, especially heartbeat information, has been intensively studied in the past decade. This non-contact sensing modality can drive various applications from cardiac health, sleep, and emotion management. Under the circumstance of the COVID-19 pandemic, non-contact heart monitoring receives increasingly market demands. However, existing wireless heart monitoring schemes can only detect limited heart activities, such as heart rate, fiducial points, and Seismocardiography (SCG)-like information. In this paper, we present CardiacWave to enable a non-contact high-definition heart monitoring. CardiacWave can provide a full spectrum of Electrocardiogram (ECG)-like heart activities, including the details of P-wave, T-wave, and QRS complex. Specifically, CardiacWave is built upon the Cardiac-mmWave scattering effect (CaSE), which is a variable frequency response of the cardiac electromagnetic field under the mmWave interrogation. The CardiacWa...

The STR website has a range of lectures freely available online, which were originally presented at their annual meeting. The presentations are of good quality and include accompanying audio narratives. There are several available mainly covering the applications of cardiac CT, but also touching on cardiac MR. The presentations include several interesting examples illustrating a wide spectrum of cardiac pathology.

Major cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors begin development in childhood and adolescence. Project HeartBeat! studied early development of these risk factors as growth processes. Growth, body composition, sexual maturation, major CVD risk factors, and cardiac structure and function were monitored every 4 months for up to 4 years among 678 children and adolescents (49.1% girls; 20.1% blacks) aged 8, 11, or 14 years at study entry. All resided in The Woodlands or Conroe TX. Interviews were conducted at entry and annually on diet, physical activity, and health history of participants and their families. Data were collected from 1991 to 1995, and study investigators continue data analysis and reporting. Overlap in ages at examination among three cohorts (aged 8 -12, 11-15, and 14 -18 years at baseline) and use of multilevel modeling methods permit analysis of some 5500 observations on each principal variable for the synthetic cohort from ages 8 to 18 years.

A circle is divided into two regions, a black one and a white one. Successive iterates of an invertible nonlinear circle map generate a symbolic string indicating whether each iterate is in the black or white region. A number of remarkable properties of the symbolic sequences are described. These properties were previously described for a linear circle map corresponding to a rigid rotation in the "gaps and steps" problem. These results have direct application to a cardiac arrhythmia, parasystole, that results from the competition between two pacemakers in the heart, one in the sinus mode and the other in the ventricles. The theoretical results are directly applicable to a clinical case of a young man who had frequent extra heartbeats.
