Electro-Optical Recording System for Myocardial Ischemia Studies in Animal Experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Myocardial ischemia is the most common cause of death in the developed countries. The most severe manifestation is sudden death due to electrical instability, terminating in ventricular fibrillation or heart arrest. This study is based on experiments in which electrograms and monophasic action potentials are recorded from isolated guinea pig hearts perfused according to Langendorff during various phases of acute ischemia and reperfusion. The data are then processed by a wavelet transform in order to obtain complex-valued time-frequency patterns.

Effect of losartan on NOX2 transcription following acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion
Introduction: Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase-2 (Nox2) is one of the predominant sources of ROS production during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion and can be induced by angiotensin II. The evidence suggests that pharmacological blockers of renin-angiotensin system can exert direct tissue effects independent of their ability to regulate blood pressure. The mechanism...
متن کاملDeveloping an economical model for reliability allocation of an electro-optical system by considering reliability improvement difficulty, criticality, and subsystems dependency
The nature of electro-optical equipment in various industries and the pursuit of the goal of reducing costs demand high reliability on the part of electro-optical systems. In this respect, reliability improvement could be addressed through a reliability allocation problem. Subsystem reliability must be increased such that the requirements as well as defined requisite functions are ensured in ac...

Cardiovascular disease (CAD) screening in asymptomatic patients with diabetes mellitus is controversial. An exercise stress test is a safe and effective initial testing for Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) screening. Treadmill stress test is not the best screening method for a particular patient who is not able to exercise, abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) or positive exercise treadmill test (ETT) ...
متن کاملBeam Deflectors for Magneto-Optical Recording Heads
Nonmechanical beam deflectors, particularly acousto-optical and electro-optical deflectors, are being considered for the access and tracking functions of a magneto-optic recording head. In this report, the suitability of electro-optic deflectors for these functions is explored. For applications requiring modest deflection, electro.optic deflectors require less power and exhibit higher optical t...
متن کاملSpatial organization of acute myocardial ischemia.
INTRODUCTION Myocardial ischemia is a pathological condition initiated by supply and demand imbalance of the blood to the heart. Previous studies suggest that ischemia originates in the subendocardium, i.e., that nontransmural ischemia is limited to the subendocardium. By contrast, we hypothesized that acute myocardial ischemia is not limited to the subendocardium and sought to document its spa...
