Approaches for Localizing the Origin of PVCs in the Outflow Tract: Future Perspectives and Challenges

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (IVAs) are a type of arrhythmias with focal origins. The locations of most such arrhythmias have been identified and confirmed. In cases in which pharmacological treatment is ineffective or limited, radiofrequency catheter ablation is a therapeutic option whose success rate largely depends on accurate IVA localization.

The current standard approach for localizing the origin of IVAs involves comparing the normal electrocardiogram (ECG) with the characteristic ECG of the arrhythmia. This comparison includes analysis of parameters such as the QRS wave polarity in different leads, QRS duration, R/S ratio, and S-R difference in precordial leads.

Expert Consensus on ECG Identification Applied in the Insurance Industry

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal.  Electrocardiograms (ECGs) have the potential to be used as a reliable source of information for human identity recognition due to their universality, portability, and unique and stable biological identification features. This method enriches and refines existing biometric identification techniques, and is suitable for customer identity identification in the insurance industry. This article:

  • Introduces biometric identification techniques commonly used in the insurance industry, including ECG biometric identification techniques, and their advantages;
  • Discusses major aspects of ECG biometric identification techniques;
  • Systematically reviews the most recent advances in ECG identification and extraction characteristics from research in China and other countries;
  • Outlines the technical aspects of using ECGs for recognizing client identity in the insurance industry;
  • And discusses the future of ECGs in identity recognition.

This article is aimed at further promoting the application of living personal ECG identification techniques in the insurance industry, and extending it to areas including medical insurance, banking, justice, public security, military, government, enterprises, and other departments and areas in which identification is needed to promote social stability and national security.
