Haemodynamic and clinical effects of paired stimulation of the heart.

چکیده
In 1963, Lopez, Edelist, and Katz demonstrated that electrical stimulation could be used for slowing the heart below its spontaneous rate. These workers noted when pacing the heart of a dog that sudden slowing could consistently be produced when the impulse persisted for about 150 m.sec. They were able to show that this effect was due to stimulation at the "make" and the "break" of the impulse, and that it could also be produced by two short electrical impulses separated by about 150 m.sec. This method has been extensively investigated at several centres in the United States (Chardack, Gage, and Dean, 1964; Braunwald et al., 1964; Ross et al., 1965). In this communication we present the results of htmodynamic studies in dogs using the technique of paired stimulation of the heart and describe our early experience in the clinical application of the method in four patients.

The Effect of Vibroacoustic Stimulation and Music on Fetal Movement
Introduction Fetal movement started at the 7th weeks of pregnancy and by the end of pregnancy will gradually be perfect and harmonious. Near-term fetuses can discriminate acoustic features, such as frequencies and spectra, and process complex auditory streams. In this study, we aimed to evaluate fatal movement in response to music and vibration stimulation. Materials and Methods This study is a...

Objective: Myofascial pain syndrome is a common disorder with a prevalence of up to 85%. It is characterized by the presence of trigger points, which all people are commonly encountered at least once throughout their lifespan. Different physical therapy and medical treatments have used to manage myofascial pain syndrome. Intramuscular electrical stimulation intervention is a relatively new trea...
متن کاملEffects of Neonatal C-Fiber Depletion on Interaction between Neocortical Short-Term and Long-Term Plasticity
Introduction: The primary somatosensory cortex has an important role in nociceptive sensory-discriminative processing. Altered peripheral inputs produced by deafferentation or by long-term changes in levels of afferent stimulation can result in plasticity of cortex. Capsaicin-induced depletion of C-fiber afferents results in plasticity of the somatosensory system. Plasticity includes short-term...
متن کاملMechanism of Action of the Thyroid Hormone on the Heart
SUMMARY The foliowing cardiac effects may be attributed to thyroxin: 1-Thyroxin augments all anaerobic processes in the body includ::ng the heart, and decreases the glycogen content of the heart ( 1, 2, 5, 27). The resistance of the heart to anoxia is increased in hyperthyroidism ( 25). 2- Thyroxin influences the cardiac weight and prevents cardiac atrophy (3, 8, 10, 11, 19, 20, 21, 30...

Background: Pre-op anxiety has adverse effects on the patientchr('39')s anesthesia and treatment. Currently, electrical interventions are widely used as non-invasive methods to control pre-op anxiety and may have advantages as compared with medical therapies. This study aimed to determine the effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation on anxiety and hemodynamic response of patients ...
