Advanced bioimpedance signal processing techniques for hemodynamic monitoring during anesthesia 

    Escrivá Muñoz, Jesús (Date of defense: 2018-05-10)

    Cardiac output (CO) defines the blood flow arriving from the heart to the different organs in the body and it is thus a primary determinant of global 02 transport. Cardiac output has traditionally been measured using ...

    Analysis of the cardiovascular response to autonomic nervous system modulation in Brugada syndrome patients 

    Calvo González, Mireia (Date of defense: 2017-11-10)

    Brugada syndrome (BS) is a genetic arrhythmogenic disease characterized by a distinctive electrocardiographic pattern, associated with a high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to ventricular fibrillation (VF) in ...

    Development of new algorithms for depth of anesthesia monitoring integrating cerebral blood flow estimations 

    González Pijuán, Carmen (Date of defense: 2019-11-15)

    Cerebral blood flow (CBF) reflects the rate of delivery of arterial blood to the brain. Since no nutrients, oxygen or water can be stored in the cranial cavity due to space and pressure restrictions, a continuous perfusion ...

    Fluid-electro-mechanical model of the human heart for supercomputers 

    Santiago, Alfonso (Date of defense: 2018-03-22)

    The heart is a complex system. From the transmembrane cell activity to the spatial organization in helicoidal fibers, it includes several spatial and temporal scales. The heart muscle is surrounded by two main tissues that ...

    Multiscale image analysis of calcium dynamics in cardiac myocytes 

    Vallmitjana Lees, Alexander (Date of defense: 2017-09-22)

    Cardiac myocytes constitute a unique physiological system. They are the muscle cells that build up heart tissue and provide the force to pump blood by synchronously contracting at every beat. This contraction is regulated ...
