Slurring Perspectives

چکیده
Slurs are among the most rhetorically powerful and insidious expressions in a language. One key reason for this, I will argue, is that they present contents from a certain perspective, which is difficult to dislodge despite the fact that it is precisely what a nonbigoted hearer most wants to resist. To get a feel for the phenomenon, observe that on the most natural readings of the following sentences:

Letter by Hayashi et al Regarding Article, “Heritability of Early Repolarization: A Population-Based Study” To the Editor: We read with much interest the article published by Reinhard et al.1 The article described a high rate of heritability of early repolarization (ER) in a general population. Early repolarization was characterized by ECG morphological features of the QRS complex (ie, notching...
متن کاملOriginal Articles J Wave, QRS Slurring, and ST Elevation in Athletes With Cardiac Arrest in the Absence of Heart Disease Marker of Risk or Innocent Bystander?
Background—QRS-ST changes in the inferior and lateral ECG leads are frequently observed in athletes. Recent studies have suggested a potential arrhythmogenic significance of these findings in the general population. The aim of our study was to investigate whether QRS-ST changes are markers of cardiac arrest (CA) of unexplained cause or sudden death in athletes. Methods and Results—In 21 athlete...
متن کاملAutomatic detection of end QRS notching or slurring.
The purpose of this study was to define criteria suited to automated detection of end QRS notching and slurring and to evaluate their accuracy. One hundred resting 12 lead ECGs from young adult men, split randomly into equal training and test sets, were examined independently by two reviewers for the presence of such notching or slurring. Consensus was reached by re-examination. Logic was added...

Background—Atriofascicular and decremental atrioventricular pathways are variants of accessory pathways with anterograde decremental conduction properties. They result in typical wide Quantronic Resonance System (QRS) tachycardia of left bundle branch block morphology. Data on the sinus rhythm electrocardiographic characteristics are limited. Methods and Results—Thirty patients with accessory p...
متن کاملEnd QRS Notching or Slurring in the Electrocardiogram
p i J a To the Editor: The transition from the QRS complex to the ST-segment on the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) has been conventionally termed the ST junction (STj). Occasionally, the terminal portion of the QRS complex manifests a notch or slur when transiting into the ST-segment. This has been described as a normal variant in healthy individuals (1) in whom STj is very often elevated. The...
