Nonlinear Time Series Analysis in Cardiac Physiology

我们将开发基于数学的创新诊断方法，潜在地显著节省受影响个人的死亡率和生活质量，以及社区的医疗保健成本。 心脏病导致的澳大利亚人死亡人数比其他任何疾病群体都多。根据国家心脏基金会的数据，心脏病的患病率在过去十年中增加了18%。 医生需要可靠的诊断工具来决定他们前面的人是否有患心脏性猝死的高风险，以及他们是否应该安装可以挽救他们生命的植入物。

We will develop innovative mathematically-based diagnostics with potentially significant savings in mortality and quality of life for affected individuals and health care costs to the community. Cardiac diseases kill more Australians than any other disease group. According to the National Heart Foundation the prevalence to heart conditions increased by 18% over the last decade. Medical practitioners are in need of reliable diagnostic tools to decide whether a person in front of them is at high risk from developing sudden cardiac death, and whether they should be fitted with an implant that could save their life.
