Conference on Computerized Electrocardiography

描述（由申请人提供）： 2007年至2012年申请资金：A）支持将心电图计算机解释会议的科学报告作为论文集在《心电学杂志》上发表; B）支持青年研究者会议决赛选手的会议注册费和机票费。年轻研究人员的支持对于这一研究领域未来领导者的发展至关重要。在过去的几十年里，心电学的进步已经足够快，足以证明每年的ISCE会议。计算机化心电学的主题领域是特别重要的，1987年在美国计算机处理的心电图的数量约为5400万，并且该领域有超过15，000种具有分析能力的设备。这些数字明显增加。心电图是最常用的实验室检查之一，在病人的管理。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。大多数与会者来自学术组织，有相当多的国际参与;来自工业界的研究科学家和工程师也将派代表参加。参与者的多学科性质将允许深入探索最新和未来发展的科学/技术问题，如心电图标测和成像，房颤和除颤机制，高级房颤消融的电生理学和成像，自动体外除颤器，心脏通道狭窄的心电图评估，植入式抗心律失常装置，缺血监测，心电图预测发病率和死亡率，QT离散度。心电图是在这些当前主题领域做出临床决策的核心。计划在4天内举行8次会议，包括一次青年调查员会议。ISCE会议的理念是以戈登会议为模式，最大限度地增加讨论的机会，因此每次演讲有15分钟的演讲时间和相等的讨论时间。上午和晚上举行有相当长时间讨论的正式演讲。下午可在小型学习小组或研讨会中进行自由讨论，并举行海报会议。所涉及的科学领域理想地符合《心电学杂志》的临床心电图学家、电生理学家和生物工程师读者的兴趣。因此，随着这些出版物的出版，这些新的和尖端的演示文稿在世界各地公布。 (End摘要）

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Funds are requested from 2007 through 2012 A) to support publication of the scientific presentations as a Proceeding in the Journal of Electrocardiology from the Conferences on the Computerized Interpretation of the Electrocardiogram and B) to support the conference registration fees and air-travel costs for the finalists of the Young Investigators Session. The support of young investigator is vital for the development of future leaders in this field of research. Advances in Electrocardiology over the past several decades have been rapid enough to justify annual ISCE meetings. The topic area of Computerized Electrocardiology 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. These numbers have markedly increased. The Electrocardiogram is one of the most frequently used laboratory test in the management of patients. The objective of this conference is to exchange information about automated Electrocardiology advances among basic scientists, clinical researchers, biomedical engineers, epidemiologists, computer scientists and Electrophysiologist. 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 that are the latest and the future developments such as electrocardiographic mapping and imaging, mechanisms of fibrillation and defibrillation, electrophysiology and imaging in advanced atrial fibrillation ablation, automatic external defibrillators, electrocardiographic evaluation of cardiac channelopthies, implantable antiarrhythmic devices, ischemic monitoring, ECG predictors of morbidity & morality, and QT dispersion. The Electrocardiogram is central to the making the clinical decisions in these current topic areas. 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 consequently each presentation has 15 minutes for the presentation and equal time for the discussion. 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. Consequently with these publications, these new and cutting edge presentations are promulgated throughout the world. (End of Abstract)
