Electrocardiographic and Hemodynamic Changes
نویسندگان
چکیده
To investigate the electrocardiographic and hemodynamic changes in isolated right ventricular infarction, 0.25 ml or 0.5 ml of metallic mercury was injected into the right coronary artery of 14 closedchest dogs. At autopsy, at least 60% of the right ventricle was necrotic in every dog. Heniodynamic observations were made in 11 and electrocardiographic mapping was performed in all 14 dogs. Right atrial pressure rose in 10 and left atrial pressure in nine of the 11 dogs; early right atrial pressure did not exceed left atrial pressure, but late right atrial pressure was greater in four dogs. Although cardiac output and blood pressure fell significantly, circulation was maintained. Twelve of 14 dogs had transient ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads, and 12 developed right bundle branch block. Abnormal Q waves or R waves of 1 mm or less appeared in the right precordial leads in 13 of the 14 dogs. Since right bundle branch block and abnormal Q waves in the right precordial leads have not been recognized as useful signs in human right ventricular infarction, further investigations are warranted to determine their value in clinical applications.

Mechanism of rest and nocturnal angina: observations during continuous hemodynamic and electrocardiographic monitoring.
The mechanism of resting or nocturnal angina relative to primary alterations in myocardial oxygen supply or demand (MVO2) is still uncertain. We studied 23 patients (15 males, eight females, ages 45-83 years) with coronary artery disease (CAD) and rest angina using electrocardiographic and hemodynamic monitoring by intra-arterial line and Swan-Ganz thermodilution catheter. Data were recorded co...

By causing numerous changes in the cardiovascular system, ageing leads to a decreased threshold for clinical manifestation of heart disease. The aim of this study was to define the existence of cardiac structural and functional changes in healthy dogs of different age. Radiographic, electrocardiographic (ECG) and echocardiographic examinations of 20 clinically healthy German Shepherd dogs were ...

Background and Objective: Off pump coronary artery bypass graft can be done with or without using intracoronary shunt. We have compared these two methods in early postoperative period, in this study. Materials and Methods: 208 candidate patients for off pump coronary artery bypass graft were devided in to two groups randomly for using intracoronary shunt or not. Variables including peri and pos...
