Values and Limitations of Exercise Electrocardiography

Capability and limitations of electrocardiography and magnetocardiography.

Multiple-Lead Exercise Electrocardiography

A svstem of miultiple-lead exeicise electrocardiography has been applied to the study of 107 normal subjects and 67 patients with angina pectoris. The results of this test are compared to those of coronary cinearteriography in 84 patients. In-exercise ECGs gave useful additional information in 59% of the angina patients but were essential for interpretation in 9%. It added considerably to the s...

Improvements in exercise electrocardiography.

In 1908, Einthovent published the first example of normal electrocardiographic responses to exercise. In 1928, Feil and Siegel2 observed abnormal downsloping ST depression and T wave inversion in three of four patients experiencing anginal attacks (presumably after climbing stairs to the phy-sician's office; H. Hellerstein, personal communication). In 1932, Goldhammer and Scherf3 associated thi...

Progress in exercise electrocardiography.

situation resembling most electrophysiological studies. One other factor in favour of subpectoral automatic cardioverter/defibrillator implantation under local anaesthesia is the reduced complexity of the implant procedure, whereby the procedure-related risk for the patients is reduced, since the complication rate during a pacemaker-like approach of automatic cardioverter/ defibrillator implant...

Heart Reaction to Nandrolone Decanoate plus Two Different Intensities of Endurance Exercise: Electrocardiography and Stereological Approach

Background: Regarding the negative effects of androgenic anabolic steroids (AASs) abuse, the long-term effect of nandrolone decanoate with/without two intensities of endurance exercise training was investigated on heart tissue and electrocardiogram (ECG) in rats. Methods: The experiment was conducted on 63 male Wistar rats, which were 4 months old. The rats were divide into groups of control (C...
