Intrabronchial Electrocardiography A Preliminary Report
نویسنده
چکیده
The Einthoven hypothesis implies that differences in the conductivity of body tissues are not sufficiently great to invalidate the concept that the body is a homogeneous volume conductor. Some investigators believe the lungs are sufficiently poor conductors to make questionable the concept that the body can be regarded as a homogeneous volume conductor. Intrabronchial electrocardiography is presented as a possible method for studying this problem. In ten individuals without manifest cardiac disease the distribution of potential variations in the lungs as manifested by the QRS complexes corresponded approximately and qualitatively with the distribution of the QRS complexes recorded from the body surfaces.

متن کاملBronchoscopic and angiographic comparison of bronchial arterial lesions in patients with hemoptysis.
In seven patients with nonmalignant disease, we bronchoscopically observed various types of bronchial arterial lesions that may have caused hemorrhage. Five of the seven showed a bulging lesion, and the other two demonstrated an intrabronchial mass. We also examined these seven patients using selective bronchial arteriography. Herein we report our comparative study of the bronchoscopic findings...
متن کاملIntrabronchial leiomyoma treated by localized resection via bronchotomy and bronchoplasty.
There have been no reports of intrabronchial leiomyomas treated by bronchotomy and bronchoplasty. Most intrabronchial leiomyomas have been treated by lobectomy or pneumonectomy because of their chronic infection or advanced parenchymal destruction. A leiomyoma of the left upper bronchus was diagnosed correctly by bronchoscopic biopsy, and successfully removed by localized resection via a bronch...
متن کاملPrimary Endobronchial Carcinoid Tumour: Case Report and Review of Literature
Bronchial carcinoid tumours are carcinoid tumours primarily occurring in relation to a bronchus. They are uncommon comprising only 1-2% of all lung tumours. This is case of 28 year old man with persistent wheezing, cough with expectoration, fever and chest pain on left side, for four to five months. All routine investigations were within normal limits. Chest roentgenogram demonstrated partial v...
