Electrocardiograph voltage in fit young men.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several criteria exist for the diagnosis for left ventricular hypertrophy as shown by high voltage on the electrocardiograph. This study of 200 healthy young recruits to the Royal Artillery with normal blood pressure and normal left ventricular wall thickness as measured by echocardiography [corrected] shows that no matter which criteria are used the false positive rate is approximately 25%. High voltage is a normal phenomenon in young men and its use as a predictor of left ventricular hypertrophy is likely to be misleading in this age group.

Indigenous Design of Electronic Circuit for Electrocardiograph
This paper provides electronic implementation of electrocardiograph (ECG) circuit by using instrumentation amplifier (IA) as bio-potential amplifier in such a manner which reduces noise, common voltage, DC offset value and RF interference from the existing circuit.Noise and common voltage can be removed from ECG using driven right leg circuit or by using isolator circuit. DC offset can be remov...
متن کاملElectrocardiograms in young Ceylonese.
The study comprised 196 healthy young adults (100 men, 96 women) between the ages of 20 and 30 years, many ofwhom were university undergraduates and pupil nurses. A full clinical history was followed by a detailed physical examination, and subjects who were not physically healthy were excluded from the study. A 12-lead electrocardiogram was recorded at least 24 hours after the last meal, with n...
متن کاملA pre-amplifier which enables electroencephalograms to be recorded with most electrocardiographs.
I experimental medicine it is sometimes useful to be able to record a single-channel electroencephalogram. Anaesthetists, in particular, are now interested in the effect of anaesthetics upon the encephalogram and may have access to a direct-writing electrocardiograph but not to an electroencephalograph. The unit described can be added to most electrocardiographs, so that they then become suitab...
متن کاملEffect of exercise in healthy men on QRS power spectrum.
The effect of exercise on the QRS power spectrum has not been evaluated. We hypothesized that increased conduction velocity with exercise might selectively increase high-frequency QRS potentials. Using a digital electrocardiograph (ECG) cart, a single bipolar chest lead was recorded in 21 healthy adult males at rest and then immediately after treadmill exercise. Fast Fourier transform analysis ...
متن کاملEffect of Prolonged Exercise on Serum Testosterone Levels in Adult Men
The purpose of the study was to: 1) identify the differences in serum testosterone levels among four groups of adult men differentiated on the basis of physical fitness and age, and 2) determine the effect of a four-month physical fitness programme consisting of running, calisthenics and recreational activities on the serum testosterone levels of the four groups. The groups were designated: hig...
