Two trials were conducted with a total of 12 beef heifers and steers to determine the effect of 48-hr deprivation of feed or water or both on rectal temperature, respiratory and heart rates, electrocardiograph (EKG) patterns, packed cell volume (PCV) and the concentrations of serum sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. The same measurements plus the serum concentration of total acid-soluble...

Cardiac dysrhythmia may be responsible for signs of cerebrovascular insufficiency in some patients. Ten patients with cerebrovascular insufficiency were monitored for up to 24 hours with the Holter EKG monitor. Eight of the patients had transient ischemic attacks and two had mild deficits from a completed stroke. Eight of the ten patients had associated abnormal cerebral angiography, the most f...

Here we present a case of a patient who got trapped in an elevator; on initial evaluation patient was found with bradycardia; on further evaluation electrocardiogram (EKG) showed new onset 2nd-degree Mobitz type 2 AV block. On admission patient developed ischemic changes on EKG and troponin elevation. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed reduced ejection fraction as well as apical inferior, ante...

A sudden cardiac event or death in a young athlete is a traumatic and memorable event. These tragic events have long-lasting and widespread influences that not only affect the person's immediate family, but also have profound effects on the team, school, and entire community. Over the past several decades there has been a significant research effort in the area of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in ...

BackgroundHis pacing (His-P) and left bundle branch (LBB-P) are new modalities to obtain a more physiologic (PP); they require however, tools skills. We describe simplified method achieve LBB-P, using only 12-lead EKG guide lead deployment; mid septum (not too anterior close His area or LV summit not posterior is sought).Methods ResultsFrom our cohort of 211 attempts (2019-2022), we extracted a...

Of the many risk factors suggested for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), higher frequency of seizures is a very consistent issue. Following this reasoning, it has been established that hemodialysis-associated seizure is a complication of dialysis procedure. Based on these facts, this study investigated a possible association between cardiovascular abnormalities and SUDEP among patien...
