Lambeth council has approved a proposal for the London Institute for Healthcare Engineering, an initiative led by King’s School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences with the Guy’s a...

King’s College London The new marker could improve the quality of life for patients Researchers from the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences proposed a new metric, curvature of the left ventricular endocarium to characterise anatomical changes in the left ventricle related to high blood pressure in early stages of the disease. The new marker helps clinicians choose the most effective drugs, which can stop or reverse the changes in cardiac morphology, improving the working of t...

Reply A study is underway at Emory Johns Creek Hospital to assess the feasibility of cryoablation for patients with Type 2 diabetes. (Shutterstock ) JOHNS CREEK, GA — A study is underway at Emory Johns Creek Hospital to assess the feasibility of cryoablation, or the use of extreme cold for patients with Type 2 diabetes. The one-year pilot study, called "Percutaneous CT-guided cryoablation of the splanchnic nerves for the management of Type 2 diabetes" will enroll five patients between the age...

Listen   For some diseases, a quick diagnosis is critical. Federal scientists are working to improve patient care with another tool for medical professionals’ kits: artificial intelligence. Most work is still in the research phase, but experts are optimistic that AI and machine learning will soon be able to widely support doctors — especially pathologists and radiologists. The ­technological tools won’t replace human healthcare workers, though. “It’s not taking anybody out of the lo...

Heart Arrhythmia Can Be Treated Effectively With The Aid Of OpenEP Platform by Karishma Abhishek on  March 2, 2021 at 5:33 AM Frontiers in Physiology. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a heart condition that is characterized by an irregular and often fast heartbeat. Major symptoms include breathlessness, palpitations, and fatigue. AF is a major contributor to stroke and heart failure. The OpenEP platform is capable of analyzing 90 % of the contemporary electrophysiology stud...

An open-source platform, OpenEP co-developed by researchers from the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences at King's College London has been made available to advance research on atrial fibrillation, a condition characterized by an irregular and often fast heartbeat.
