Conference on Computarized Electrocardiography

描述(由申请人提供)： 请拨资金支持出版2004年至2008年关于心电图机译会议的会议记录，并在此期间支持青年调查员会议入围者的会议注册费和航空旅费。在过去的几十年里，心电图学的进步已经足够迅速，足以证明一年一度的国际心脏病学会会议是合理的。这一主题领域尤其重要，因为1987年美国计算机处理的心电图量约为5400万，该领域有超过15,000台具有分析能力的设备。本次会议的目的是在基础科学家、临床研究人员、生物医学工程师、流行病学家、计算机科学家和电生理学家之间交流有关自动心电学进展的信息。大多数参与者来自学术组织，有相当大的国际参与；研究科学家和工业界的工程师也将出席。与会者的多学科性质将使他们能够深入探讨科学/技术问题，如从离子通道到整个心脏的缺血和心律失常的细胞机制、心电成像、纤颤和除颤的机制、自动内外除颤器、植入型抗心律失常设备、缺血监测、发病率和死亡率的心电预测指标、作为患者记录一部分的数字心电数据库、HIPPA规则和QT离散度。计划在4天内举行8次会议，其中包括青年调查员会议。以戈登会议为蓝本的机构间会议的理念是最大限度地扩大讨论的机会。有相当时间进行讨论的正式报告是在上午和晚上举行的。下午可以在小学习小组或研讨会上自由讨论，也可以在海报会议上自由讨论。所涉及的科学领域非常符合《心电病学杂志》的临床心电学家、电生理学家和生物工程师读者的兴趣。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested to support publication of the proceedings of the 2004 through the 2008 Conferences on the Computerized Interpretation of the Electrocardiogram and during that period to support the conference registration fees and air-travel costs for the finalists of the Young Investigators Session. Advances in Electrocardiology over the past several decades have been rapid enough to justify annual ISCE meetings. The topic area is particularly important with the volume of computer-processed electrocardiograms on the order of 54 million in 1987 in the United States and more than 15,000 devices in the field with analysis capabilities. The objective of this conference is to exchange information about automated electrocardiologic advances among basic scientists, clinical researchers, biomedical engineers, epidemiologists, computer scientists and electrophysiologists. The majority of participants are from academic organizations, with considerable international participation; research scientists and engineers from industry will also be represented. The multi disciplinary nature of the participants will allow in-depth exploration of scientific/technical issues such as cellular mechanisms for ischemia and arrhythmias from ion channels to the whole heart, electrocardiographic imaging, mechanisms of fibrillation and defibrillation, automatic external and internal defibrillators, implantable antiarrhythmic devices, ischemic monitoring, ECG predictors of morbidity & morality, digital ECG databases as part of the patient record, HIPPA regulations and QT dispersion. Eight sessions are planned over a 4-day period, including a Young Investigators' session. The philosophy of the ISCE conferences, patterned after the Gordon conferences, is to maximize opportunities for discussions. Formal presentations with considerable time for discussion are held mornings and evenings. Afternoons are available for free discussion in small study groups or workshops and for poster sessions. The scientific areas addressed ideally match the interests of the clinical electrocardiologist, electrophysiologist and bioengineer readership of the Journal of Electrocardiology.
