Physicians can obtain fetal heart rate, electrophysiological information, and uterine contraction activity for determining fetal status from an intrauterine catheters electrocardiogram with the maternal electrocardiogram canceled. In addition, the intrauterine catheter would allow physicians to acquire fetal status with one noninvasive to the fetus biosensor as compared to invasive to the fetus...

SEE PAGE 988 A nimal studies on the intracoronary electrocardiogram (IC ECG) preceded coronary angioplasty, today referred to as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), by 1 year, almost 40 years ago (1). Even the balloon was there, but it was used for temporary coronary occlusion producing ischemia rather than for treating coronary stenoses. In 1983, pacemaker electrodes were used to derive ...

In this paper, we propose a technique of artificial intelligence called adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for canceling maternal electrocardiogram (MECG) in fetal electrocardiogram extraction (FECG).This technique is used to estimate the MECG present in the abdominal signal of a pregnant woman. The FECG is then extracted by subtracting the estimated MECG from the abdominal signal. P...

BACKGROUND The micro waveform of His bundle potential can't be recorded beat-to-beat on surface electrocardiogram yet. We have found that the micro-wavelets before QRS complex may be related to atrioventricular conduction system potentials. This study is to explore the possibility of His bundle potential can be noninvasively recorded on surface electrocardiogram. METHODS We randomized 65 pati...
