RAPID DIGITALIZATION

Haemodynamic effects of rapid digitalization following acute myocardial infarction.

Digitalis is now in common use following acute myocardial infarction, and the danger of producing arrhythmias appears to be no greater than in other groups of patients (Askey, 1951). The drug is frequently given intravenously for a rapid effect and to ensure that it will enter the circulation, but little is known of the immediate effects of such administration on the circulation.

Automatic structural scene digitalization

In this paper, we present an automatic system for the analysis and labeling of structural scenes, floor plan drawings in Computer-aided Design (CAD) format. The proposed system applies a fusion strategy to detect and recognize various components of CAD floor plans, such as walls, doors, windows and other ambiguous assets. Technically, a general rule-based filter parsing method is fist adopted t...

Influence of Digitalization

THE hemodynamic consequences of acute digitalization in man have been reported in a few studies with controversial results. It has been stated that digitalis has little or no effect on the cardiovascular events in the absence of manifestations of heart failurel-' while it significantly improves cardiac function in the failing heart.'2 This paper describes the effect of acute digitalization on t...

Effects of Acute Digitalization

Basic hemodynamic data and the pulmonary blood volume (PBV) were determined in 23 patients before and after intravenous administration of acetyl strophanthidin during right and left heart catheterization. These patients were divided into two groups depending upon whether or not digitalization produced a significant fall in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVD). Group I consisted of 11 p...
