ABSTRAKSinyal elektrokardiogram (EKG) dapat dianalisis dengan memperhatikan bentuk, durasi, dan irama. Pada penelitian ini, dikembangkan sebuah metode ekstraksi ciri sinyal EKG menggunakan parameter Hjorth statistik. Kedua tersebut diaplikasikan untuk mengekstrak ciri-ciri dari rekaman suara EKG. Terdapat tiga kondisi yang menjadi masukan sistem, normal, atrial fibrillation (AF), congestive hea...

Ein 81-jähriger Patient wird bei plötzlicher Verschlechterung des Allgemeinzustandes auf den Notfall eingewiesen. Er klagt über Müdigkeit, Leistungsminderung, Kurzatmigkeit und Unwohlsein seit dem Vortag.

Myocardial infarction (MI) and massive pulmonary embolism (MPE) are common causes of cardiac arrest. We present two cases with similar clinical presentation and EKG findings but different initial rhythms. Case  1. A 55-year-old African American male (AAM) was brought to the emergency room (ER) with cardiac arrest and pulseless electrical activity (PEA). Twelve-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) was s...

Case. A 64-year-old Caucasian woman was brought to the emergency department with severe dysphagia and left chest pain for last 4 days. Initial evaluation revealed elevated ST segment in precordial leads on EKG with elevated cardiac enzymes. Limited echocardiogram showed infra-apical wall hypokinesia. Cardiac angiography was done subsequently which showed nonflow limiting mild coronary artery di...

Patients may intermittently require antimicrobial therapy with a QTc-prolonging antibiotic, which presents a challenge for prescribers of patients already taking a QTc-prolonging antiarrhythmic. Manufacturers recommend close monitoring for evidence of QTc-prolongation with the concomitant use of QTc-prolonging medications, but the monitoring parameters are not well-defined. Previous studies rec...
