Fetal well-being was estimated by the enlargement of maternal abdomen, palpation of fetus on the abdomen, maternal perception of fetal kicking, and listening to fetal heart sound with obstetric stethoscope, in old age. Antique diagnosis of fetal life was fetal QRS found on limb lead electrocardiogram (ECG) studied by Cremer, which was progressed to fetal ECG amplifier composed of vacuum tube re...

Analysis of the fetal heart rate during pregnancy is essential for monitoring proper development fetus. Current techniques lack accuracy in and features acquisition, resulting diagnostic medical issues. The challenge lies extraction ECG from mother pregnancy. This approach has advantage being a reliable non-invasive technique. In present paper, wavelet/multiwavelet method proposed to perfectly ...

conclusions the loss of hrc at the onset of admission may predict mortality in patients with blunt trauma. lower entropy, in recently admitted patients with intra-abdominal bleeding, may indicate laparotomy when the vital signs are stable. background nonlinear analysis of heart rate variability (hrv) has been recently used as a predictor of prognosis in trauma patients. objectives we applied no...

Cardiac and respiratory rhythms reveal transient phases of phase-locking which were proposed to be an important aspect of cardiorespiratory interaction. The aim of this study was to quantify cardio-respiratory phase-locking in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We investigated overnight polysomnography data of 248 subjects with suspected OSA. Cardiorespiratory phase-coupling was computed from the R...

Fetal cardiac monitoring and assessment during pregnancy play a critical role in the early detection of potential risk fetal problems, thus allowing for timely preventive measures healthy births. It is necessary to continuously monitor heart this purpose. Methods by extracting maternal electrocardiograms (ECGs) from abdominal ECGs have been extensively investigated. However, extraction clear EC...

Noninvasive fetal health monitoring during pregnancy has become increasingly important in order to prevent complications, such as fetal hypoxia and preterm labor. With recent advances in signal processing technology using abdominal electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings, ambulatory fetal monitoring throughout pregnancy is now an important step closer to becoming feasible. The large number of electr...

Introduction In the recent past the management of a patient suspected of having had an acute myocardial infarction would have been largely conservative (1). Serial electro cardiograms (ECG) and cardiac enzyme estimations would have clarified the diagnosis over the ensuing few days. The advent of thrombolytic therapy has created pressure to make a more rapid and certain diagnosis (2) and to excl...

A 29-year-old man was referred to the emergency department with a complaint of abdominal pain and dizziness. He had experienced two previous syncopal episodes. His family history revealed that his mother and his two uncles had received permanent pacemaker implantation. His initial heart rate was 49 beats per minute. The electrocardiography (ECG) showed atrial flutter and right bundle branch blo...

Cardiac lesions secondary to blunt chest trauma vary from insignificant arrhythmias to fatal cardiac rupture. Of these, a distinction remains difficult; face to ST-segment elevation on ECG with positive cardiac biomarkers, is it a myocardial contusion or a genuine myocardial infarction (MI) secondary to coronary lesions? We report the case of a patient admitted for multiple trauma. Initial asse...

BACKGROUND Brugada Syndrome (BS) is an inherited ion channelopathy characterized by an electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern of a coved type ST segment elevation in right precordial leads with or without right bundle branch block. CASE PRESENTATION A 23-year old male presented with right lower quadrant abdominal pain. Further evaluation revealed a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. The patient dev...
