Chapter and Conference Paper
In this study, we propose an approach for the assessment of the evolution of heart function in a population of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. The patients were imaged using cine MRI with ...

Technological advances in image quality and post-processing have led to the better clinical adoption of 3D echocardiography to quantify cardiac function. However, the right ventricle (RV) raises specific chall...

Chapter and Conference Paper
We aim at better understanding the mechanisms of ischemia and reperfusion, in the context of acute myocardial infarction. For this purpose, imaging and in particular magnetic resonance imaging are of great val...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Diagnosis through imaging generally requires the combination of several modalities. Algorithms for data fusion allow merging information from different sources, mostly combining all images in a single step. In...

Evaluation of mechanical properties from thoracic aorta finite element (FE) modeling can help to better stratify patients in need of intervention. This paper assesses the influence of various factors in the co...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The diagnosis of cardiovascular illnesses uses multiple modalities in order to obtain a complete and as robust as possible assessment of the heart. However, when addressing distinct pathologies, not all inform...
Article
The paper gives a new representation of conformal groups in n dimensions in terms of hyperquaternions defined as tensor products of quaternion algebras (or a subalgebra thereof). Being Clifford algebras, hyperqua...
Article
We recently showed more severe diastolic dysfunction at the time of myectomy in female compared to male patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Early recognition of aberrant cardiac contracility...
Article
A new representation of the Poincaré groups in n dimensions via dual hyperquaternions is developed, hyperquaternions being defined as a tensor product of quaternion algebras (or a subalgebra thereof). This formal...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a promising imaging technique to non-invasively study diffusion properties and fiber structures of myocardial tissues. Previous studies have investigated the influence of nois...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Myocardial shape and deformation are two relevant descriptors for the study of cardiac function and can undergo strong interactions depending on diseases. Manifold learning provides low dimensional representat...
Chapter and Conference Paper
We propose a strategy to perform population-based personalization of a model, to overcome the limits of case-based personalization for generating virtual populations from models that include randomness. We for...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Cardiac shape and deformation are two relevant descriptors for the characterization of cardiovascular diseases. It is also known that strong interactions exist between them depending on the disease. In clinica...
Article
Surgical therapies in aortic valve stenosis (AVS) and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) aim to relief intraventricular pressure overload and improve clinical outcome. It is currently unknown to wh...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Hyperquaternions being defined as a tensor product of quaternion algebras (or a subalgebra thereof), they constitute Clifford algebras endowed with an associative exterior product providing an efficient mathem...

A hyperquaternion formulation of Clifford algebras in n dimensions is presented. The hyperquaternion algebra is defined as a tensor product of quaternion algebras

Parameters using myocardial strain analysis may predict response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). As the agreement between currently available strain imaging modalities is unknown, three different m...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Assessment of myocardial damage is important to obtain an accurate prognosis after myocardial infarction. Myocardial strains have been shown to be good indicators of the myocardial viability. Strain analysis h...
