EU FP7 INFSO-ICT-247223 ARTIST4G, D1.1 Definitions and architecture requirements for supporting interference avoidance techniques
- 2010

Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- It is the main objective of the ARTIST4G Work Package 1 (WP1), to design innovative interference avoidance solutions by means of transmitter signal processing, scheduling and/or cross layer techniques. Such an approach will enable to identify optimal strategies also taking into account the practical implications on the real system. The major impacts of the WP1 innovations on the radio access network and on the mobile system interfaces, together with constraints due to practical implementations, will be analyzed in this deliverable. This deliverable will be a reference for the work in ARTIST4G Work Package 4 (WP4).A set of guiding questions used to precise the requirements for WP4 has been considered for each new cooperation/coordination functionality. Answers to these questions are provided in this deliverable by grouping the different classes of WP1 innovations into 4 categories with similar requirements on the radio access architecture. For each question, current, expected, minimum and maximum targets of the requirement will be given, helping to ensure that the range of all possible values for all the innovations are taken into account.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Aims: Recent trial data demonstrate beneficial effects of active rhythm management in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and support the concept that a low arrhythmia burden is associated with a low risk of AF-related complications. The aim of this document is to summarize the key outcomes of the 9th AFNET/EHRA Consensus Conference of the Atrial Fibrillation NETwork (AFNET) and the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA).Methods and results: Eighty-three international experts met in Munster for 2 days in September 2023. Key findings are as follows: (i) Active rhythm management should be part of the default initial treatment for all suitable patients with AF. (ii) Patients with device-detected AF have a low burden of AF and a low risk of stroke. Anticoagulation prevents some strokes and also increases major but non-lethal bleeding. (iii) More research is needed to improve stroke risk prediction in patients with AF, especially in those with a low AF burden. Biomolecules, genetics, and imaging can support this. (iv) The presence of AF should trigger systematic workup and comprehensive treatment of concomitant cardiovascular conditions. (v) Machine learning algorithms have been used to improve detection or likely development of AF. Cooperation between clinicians and data scientists is needed to leverage the potential of data science applications for patients with AF.Conclusions: Patients with AF and a low arrhythmia burden have a lower risk of stroke and other cardiovascular events than those with a high arrhythmia burden. Combining active rhythm control, anticoagulation, rate control, and therapy of concomitant cardiovascular conditions can improve the lives of patients with AF. Graphical Abstract
