📢 New Paper! We continue to build on the robustness of DGM: a tool to analyze cardiac arrhythmia. 💪

We showed that DGM exceeds Phase Mapping for the detection of simulated 2D meandering rotors in fibrotic tissue with added noise

📢 New Paper in EHJ💥

👉 Impact of topology on the number of loops during macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia 👈

Main message: single loops do not exist in AT💣as they come in pairs of 2. Ablation needs to stop both loops!

💪 Krachten gebundelend aan de @JongeAcademie voor een oproep tot een krachtiger klimaatbeleid aan de Vlaamse rectoren. We gaan jullie opvolgen en blijven herinneren aan de urgentie hiervan !https://t.co/NVFzTSCAqC

Misschien moet je eens met een aantal wetenschappers praten om te ontdekken hoe de wetenschap in elkaar zit. Altijd welkom om eens met mij te komen praten. Ik geef een lezing op dag van de wetenschap die hierbij aanleunt

Nieuwe bruggen gebouwd tussen wetenschappers en politici @Ugent! 6 politici werden ondergedompeld in een dagje wetenschap.
#ScienceMeetsParliament is een initiatief van de @JongeAcademie om netwerken op te starten voor meer Evidence Informed Policy Making. #EUsci4Regio

Can we map cardiac fibrillation?🗺️🗺️🗺️

Well done Xili Shi, @arunsau_, @NikeshBajaj, @DrKiranPatel1 on using information theory-based measures to assess fibrillation dynamics. @RSocPublishing

To all those working for, marching for & championing real #ClimateAction:

I want you to know that you are on the right side of history.

I am with you.

I won’t give up this fight of our lives.

@mboudry @ChrisJulien IPCC: "As warming levels increase, so do the risks of species extinction or irreversible loss of biodiversity in ecosystems including forests (medium confidence),
coral reefs (very high confidence) and in Arctic regions (high confidence)"

[Nele Vandersickel @NVandersickel]

@mboudry @ChrisJulien IPCC: "The likelihood and impacts of abrupt and/or irreversible changes in the climate system, including changes triggered when tipping points are reached, increase with further global warming (high confidence).

@DrFuSiongNg @ugent @ImperialNHLI @CarolineRoney @Anand_Ganesan1 Thanks for being such a great host. Great discussions and looking forward to collaborating!

[Fu Siong Ng @DrFuSiongNg]

Great to host @NVandersickel and her team from @ugent for their visit to @ImperialNHLI to discuss collaborations on arrhythmia mapping.

📣The results of the second round of ERC Proof of Concept Grant call are out.

66 researchers are to receive €150k each to explore commercial or societal potential of the results of their research projects.

🥳I am 1 of the 66 researchers to receive an ERC proof of concept grant. We will show that current ablation therapy for AT is incomplete/can be greatly improved. We will demonstrate that single loops do not exist and one always has to look for the second loop! @ERC_Research

[Nele Vandersickel @NVandersickel]

#DGM is a versatile software package, so stay tuned for more updates!
Thanks to a great team for the work!

[Nele Vandersickel @NVandersickel]

📢 New paper out on Torsade de Pointes mechanism in an experimental dog model! We used #DGM software to confirm previous findings & discovered fascinating insights. #EPeeps

[Nele Vandersickel @NVandersickel]

We found two new things

1. Non-terminating episodes show significantly more simultaneous reentry loops than self-terminating episodes

2. Focal sources tend to come from preffered locations, meaning they could be targets for ablation
