Affective patterns based on physiological signals reflect bodily changes linked to specific emotional states. Previous studies the cardiac electrical signal, a key peripheral were limited by measurement density of single-lead ECG focusing solely temporal pattern analysis but ignoring topographic that can body’s response. Our research advances affective innovatively using body surface potentials comprehensively monitor activity with increased density. To tackle challenge extracting spatial and features from multi-channel potentials, we establish dynamic correlation among these diverse channel through covariance matrices. hypothesis is inter-channel relationship provides valuable source insights into clues. Experimental results demonstrate extracted effectively capture signals, achieve excellent performance in classification tasks simultaneously. finding reveals for first time, offering novel analysis.

Stroke–heart syndrome (SHS), a critical yet underrecognized condition, encompasses range of cardiac complications that arise following an ischemic stroke. This narrative review explores the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and implications SHS, focusing on complex interplay between brain heart. Acute stroke (AIS) triggers autonomic dysfunction, leading to surge in catecholamines subsequent myocardial injury. Our highlights five cardinal manifestations SHS: elevated troponin (cTn) levels, acute infarction, left ventricular arrhythmias, sudden death. Despite significant impact these patient outcomes, there is notable absence specific guidelines for their management. Through comprehensive literature search, we synthesized findings from recent studies elucidate mechanisms underlying SHS identified gaps current understanding. underscore importance early detection multidisciplinary management post-stroke. Future research should focus establishing evidence-based protocols improve outcomes patients with SHS. Addressing this unmet need will enhance care survivors reduce mortality rates associated complications.

Background: Neuromodulation has been shown to increase the efficacy of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures. However, despite its ability influence autonomic nervous system (ANS), exact mechanism action remains unclear. The activity ANS via intracardiac (ICNS) can be inferred from heart rate variability (HRV). Therefore, this study aims investigate significance changes in ICNS prior onset AF by analyzing evolution HRV a large new cohort patients.
