background: cardiac manifestations that occur in a majority of patients with organophosphate (op) poisoning may range from innocuous electrocardiographic manifestations, such as sinus tachycardia, to life-threatening complications, including cardiogenic pulmonary edema and myocardial necrosis. in this study, we evaluated the various electrocardiographic manifestations in patients with op poison...

a survey was carried out in the summer of 1972 in east azerbaijan, northwest iran, to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. ecg tracings were prepared from 198 women and 178 men aged 40-60. only 45% of the tracings were completely normal. q/qs abnormalities were found in 4.7% of tracings, left axis deviation in 4% tall r wave in 37%, st depression in 3.9% of men and 14.1% of women...

in this paper the main objective is to quantify and compare the instantaneous value of heart rate for normal breathing patterns during meditation and non meditation conditions. this paper involves analysis of variance (anova) technique for the analysis of the heart rate variability patterns during the meditative and non meditative states. the analysis is divided into three stages i.e. data acqu...

for induction of ruminal acidosis, 10 clinically healthy three years old non pregnant female sheep were selected. prior to the infusion of sucrose (0 hour), rumen and blood samples were obtained in order to determine baseline rumen and blood ph, respectively. electrocardiogram (ecg) was also recorded. acute ruminal acidosis was induced experimentally with sucrose at a dose of 18g kg-1 body weig...

background: benzodiazepine (bzd) toxicity alone or with other drugs is common in poisoning emergency departments of iran. the aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiovascular findings in patients with benzodiazepine poisoning upon admission to the emergency department. methods: in a prospective study which was followed by retrospective analysis, 267 patients poisoned with bzd were evaluated...

an electrocardiogram (ecg) leads physicians to diagnose many potentially life-threatening cardiac, metabolic, electrolyte, and toxicological conditions. this study was designed to evaluate the competency of emergency medicine residents (emrs) in comparison with cardiologists in the interpretation of ecg when an interpretation checklist is used. this clinical trial was done in the emergency ward...

Background: Fetal electrocardiography is a developing field that provides valuable information on the fetal health during pregnancy. By early diagnosis and treatment of fetal heart problems, more survival chance is given to the infant.Objective: Here, we extract fetal ECG from maternal abdominal recordings and detect R-peaks in order to recognize fetal heart rate. On the next step, we find a be...
