R waves interrupting T waves.

چکیده
In the course of some experiments on anesthetized dogs and cats concerned with the production experimentally of ventricular flutter and ventricular fibrillation, Fastier and Smirk (1948) noted that R waves sometimes appeared on the descent of the antecedent T waves, shortly before the onset of veittricular flutter. The flutter was induced by a substance amarin * which had been found by one of us (F.H.S.) to alter the response of the animals to adrenaline so that a moderate dose of adrenaline, ordinarily well tolerated, would now give rise to ventricular flutter. These observations led me to seek more closely for such phenomena in human electrocardiograms. The present paper concerns 17 patients in whom R waves have been observed on the T waves of antecedent complexes. It seems that interruptions of T waves by R waves are not very uncommon, are likely to prove important prognostically, and seem to provide an indication for treatment. Little has been written on this subject either from the experimental or from the clinical standpoint, and such information as is available may be unfamiliar to some of the authors who have published records without commenting upon the-phenomenon. The first reference I was able to discover to the occurrence of an R wave on a T wave was in a footnote by Katz (1928) in the course of his comprehensive review on the T wave. Katz mentioned here that an example of an R wave on a T wave has been observed by Dr. Ashman, three examples by Drs. reil and Seigel, and three by himself. He mentioned that the only published record was by Wenkebach and Winterberg (1927) and that Wiggers had seen it in dogs. I have been unable to find any record of subsequent reports on the finding of R waves on the T waves with the exception of Scherf * C.H5-CH-NH\

Wave Propagation and Fundamental Solution of Initially Stressed Thermoelastic Diffusion with Voids
The present article deals with the study of propagation of plane waves in isotropic generalized thermoelastic diffusion with voids under initial stress. It is found that, for two dimensional model of isotropic generalized thermoelastic diffusion with voids under initial stress, there exists four coupled waves namely, P wave, Mass Diffusion (MD) wave, thermal (T) wave and Volume Fraction (VF) wa...
متن کاملRayleigh Waves in a Homogeneous Magneto-Thermo Voigt-Type Viscoelastic Half-Space under Initial Surface Stresses
This paper deals with the propagation of magneto-thermo Rayleigh waves in a homogeneous viscoelastic half-space under initial stress. It has been observed that velocity of Rayleigh waves depends on viscosity, magnetic field, temperature and initial stress of the half-space. The frequency equation for Rayleigh waves under the effect of magnetic field, stress and temperature for both viscoelastic...

To simulate the effect of free st ream turbulence on turbulent spot formation, experiments were conducted on the interaction of localized three-dimensional disturbances with the harmonic waves in a laminar boundary layer on a flat plate. Experiments conducted in three-dimensional diverging flow (but zero pressure gradient) show, while individually the disturbances decay downstream, their intera...
