Electrocardiography in Japan

History of research in Japan on electrocardiography in the racehorse

Since the first recording of electrocardiograms (ECGs) of a horse in Japan was carried out in 1944, studies on ECGs have been performed intensively. During the early stages of research from the 1950s to 1960s, leads to use for ECG recording were evaluated using several different approaches including unipolar leads, bipolar limb leads, and bipolar chest leads. Based on these studies, the AB lead...

Electrocardiography

serves as a corroborator of clinical observations, and not as the sole means of making the diagnosis, the criticism is not justified. This conclusion applies to electrocardiography that has now been established as a standard part of cardiovascular diagnosis. The publication of another edition of Dr. Maher's treatise within two years shows its popularity. The book begins with a brief resume of t...

Improvements in exercise electrocardiography.

In 1908, Einthovent published the first example of normal electrocardiographic responses to exercise. In 1928, Feil and Siegel2 observed abnormal downsloping ST depression and T wave inversion in three of four patients experiencing anginal attacks (presumably after climbing stairs to the phy-sician's office; H. Hellerstein, personal communication). In 1932, Goldhammer and Scherf3 associated thi...
