An algorithm using wavelets and Kalman filtering method has been developed for QRS detection. The algorithm takes following steps: i) We use a RLS adaptive algorithm to establish a model of the electrocardiogram. Thus the algorithm can change its own model according to the change of the electrocardiogram. ii) Based on the model established in stage i), we combined the wavelet and Kalman Algorithm, decomposed the signal to several scales, filtering the signal in each scale. And then, iii)A decision rule is used to determine the QRS complex. The method was tested on ECG data form the MIT database, and experimental results show that the method is effective, and the influence of the noise can be eliminated.

Rationale: Ependymomas are commonly prevalent intramedullary neoplasms in adults, with hardly any cases of exophytic extramedullary ependymoma being reported. Meningiomas, on the contrary, are one of the most common intradural extramedullary (IDEM) tumors. However, the occurrence of both IDEM tumors simultaneously is extremely rare.

Background: Precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) as complication in atrial septal defect (ASD) is closely related to right heart hemodynamics, such as right atrial pressure (RAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Right heart catheterization (RHC) as the gold standard for their measurement is invasive and not widely available in Indonesia. Electrocardiography (ECG) was proposed to be alternative in this matter.

Background: Consumer-oriented wearable devices (CWDs) such as smartphones and smartwatches have gained prominence for their ability to detect atrial fibrillation (AF) through proprietary algorithms using electrocardiography or photoplethysmography (PPG)-based digital recordings. Despite numerous individual validation studies, a direct comparison of interdevice performance is lacking.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the ability of CWDs to distinguish between sinus rhythm and AF.

Background: The optimal approach to the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation in primary care is unclear.
Aim: To determine if external loop recorder (ELR) screening improves atrial fibrillation detection in community dwelling adults with a CHA2DS2-VASc score of greater than two.
Design: Randomised cross-over clinical trial.

Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is associated with poor prognosis, making early diagnosis and treatment important. This study evaluated the results of a diagnostic approach in patients with known sarcoidosis and suspected cardiac involvement in a tertiary centre and their long-term outcomes.
Methods: We included 180 patients with sarcoidosis and a clinical suspicion of CS.
