OBJECTIVES To determine effects of tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) on the ECG of dogs treated for behavioral conditions and to examine correlations between ECG findings and serum concentrations of these medications. DESIGN Repeated-measures study. ANIMALS 39 client-owned dogs with behavioral problems. PROCEDURE Two groups of dogs with behavioral problems were evaluated. In group 1 (n = 20...

Abstract Background and Aims In chronic kidney disease (CKD), the incidence of cardiovascular (CVD) increases along with CKD progression. Although coronary artery (CAD) is one most critical CVDs, it difficult to identify CAD because its symptom usually atypical in CKD. Consequently, appropriate screening tests for CVD are important this population. Electrocardiography (ECG) transthoracic echoca...

A 40-year-old female w~th the left adrenal pheochoromocytoma showed ECG abnormalities and the clinical features similar to act.~te myocardial infarction. Enzymological studies and UCG findings in the acute phase revealed the same pattern as those in acute myocardial infarction. After finding the existence of the left adrenal pheochromocytoma, the differential diagnosis between myocardial infarc...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background Preparticipation screenings (PPs) have been conceived for the potential to prevent sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young athletes by early identification hidden diseases. Commonly used protocols include family history collection, physical examination and resting electrocardiogram (ECG). Transthoracic echocardiography has ...

BACKGROUND Electrocardiogram (ECG) is commonly used in diagnosis of heart diseases, including many life-threatening disorders. We aimed to assess skills in ECG interpretation among Polish medical students and to analyze the determinants of these skills. MATERIAL AND METHODS Undergraduates from all Polish medical schools were asked to complete a web-based survey containing 18 ECG strips. Quest...

Abstract The problem addressed in this study is the limitations of previous works that considered electrocardiogram (ECG) classification as a multiclass problem, despite many abnormalities being diagnosed simultaneously real life, making it multilabel problem. aim to test effectiveness deep learning (DL)-based methods (Inception, MobileNet, LeNet, AlexNet, VGG16, and ResNet50) using three large...

A STRIKING, characteristic, electrocardiographic pattern associated with central nervous system (CNS) lesions, particularly subarachnoid hemorrhage, has been described.1-3 The combination of prolonged Q-T interval and large upright or deeply inverted T waves was originally described in association with cerebrovascular accidents and has come to be recognized as the typical CNS electrocardiogram....

Electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities and rhythm disorders are frequently observed in the acute phase after spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). These abnormalities are benign and transient in most cases; however, in some patients they can take the form of life-threatening arrhythmias such as ventricular flutter/fibrillation and torsade de pointe. Among the ECG abnormalities observed, ...

BACKGROUND Chagas disease affects more than 15 million people worldwide. Although vector-borne transmission has decreased, oral transmission has become important. Recently, our group published the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the largest outbreak of orally transmitted Chagas disease reported till date. OBJECTIVE To describe electrocardiographic changes occurring in the stud...

The electrocardiocardiogram (ECG) is a basic method used in cardiovascular epidemiologic investigations. Its value as a prognostic indicator of future cardiac events has been fully demonstrated, and some ECG items, such as a pattern of left ventricular hypertrophy, are considered as among the definite cardiovascular risk factors.1 However, the prevalence rates of various ECG abnormalities in a ...
