Before it is possible to assess the significance of any variation in the electrocardiographic tracing, it is necessary to know the appearances of the tracing in healthy subjects. Current practice is to record three standard limb leads, three augmented unipolar limb leads, and upwards of seven chest leads. In this way, minor variations from the normal are likely to be appreciated and more accura...

Interest in clinical fetal electrocardiography dates back to 1906 when Cremer4 published two tracings apparently showing fetal deflections of about 0.5 mm. amplitude superimposed on the maternal electrocardiogram of a nine-months gravid woman. The records were obtained with a string galvanometer electrocardiograph with one lead on the abdomen and one in the vagina. During the next 25 years Foa7...

The advent of computerised electrocardiography has been of prime importance for the storage and retrieval of data, but none of the available systems is of universal application for analysis of patterns. Future needs require hierarchical systems of increasing degrees of complexity, depending on the source of requests, and there should be appropriate provision for review by cardiologists before t...

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...

background: one of the main problems especially in operating room and monitoring devices is measurement of blood pressure (bp) by sphygmomanometer cuff. objective: in this study we designed a new method to measure bp changes continuously for detecting information between cuff inflation times by using vital signals in monitoring devices. this will be achieved by extraction of the time difference...

background: milk fever in cattle, sheep and goats occurs  around the time of parturition and is caused by hypocalcemia. objectives: the aim of this study was to investigate the physiological effects of experimental hypocalcemia on electrocardiography, hematology and serum biochemical changes in markhoz goat breed. methods: ethylene diamine tetra- acetate solution 4.6% was intravenously infused ...

One of the main problems in biomedical data processing like electrocardiography is the separation of the wanted signal from noises. In this paper a type of multiple sub-adaptive filters are considered to reduce the Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal noises like Power Line Interference (PLI). Results of simulations in MATLAB are presented. The results were compared with the pervious approaches used ...

background: diabetes mellitus is a serious public health problem worldwide and particularly in developing countries. in algeria, this metabolic disorder occurs with a wide variety or atypical forms that linked to multiple risk factors including local habits and traditions. this study aimed to determine the impact of risk factors (metabolic syndrome, social, cultural, physical activity, family h...
