Electrocardiograph (ECG) interpretation is a complex subject that requires considerable experience. However, an understanding of the principles underlying generation of the ECG can make this learning process easier. This knowledge is necessary if interpretation is to be founded on understanding rather than being a pattern recognition-based process. The aim of this article is to introduce the pr...

The computer-analysed 3 orthogonal lead system ("3-lead ECG") provides a rapid and consistent interpretation of the electrocardiogram. In 102 patients undergoing selective coronary arteriography, the ability of such a system to predict the presence of absence of coronary artery disease and the site of myocardial ischaemia was compared with that of the conventional scalar electrocardiogram inter...

The success of a fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) program depends on a high ovulation rate during a short interval. Equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) has been used in FTAI protocols to improve follicular growth and thereby to produce larger, more responsive follicles for ovulation with increased pregnancy rates. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of eCG on concept...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Resting electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities have been strongly associated with cardiovascular disease mortality. Little is known, however, about the association between individual components of metabolic syndrome and ECG abnormalities, especially in Asian populations. METHODS We examined clinical and laboratory data from 31,399 subjects (age 20 to 89 years) who underwent med...

Although the effects of Gonadotropin on ovarian physiology have been known for many decades, its action on glucose uptake in the rat ovary remained poorly understood. Evidence also suggests that glucose uptake is mediated by a number of glucose transporter proteins (Glut). Therefore, we examined the rat ovary for the presence of Glut1-4 and blood glucose level after eCG (equine chorionic gonado...

removal of artifacts from bio-signals is a necessary step before automatic processing and obtaining clinical information. recently, many applications of empirical mode decomposition (emd) on biomedical researches have been presented that artifact reduction from bio-signals is one of them. emd separates a time series into finite numbers of its individual oscillations, which are called intrinsic ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most important and widely used method to study the heart related diseases. The detailed study of ECG graph by the medical practitioner helps him to understand and identify the condition of the heart. Based on the information retrieved from the ECG graph the patient can be given proper treatment. The person having a medical history of heart ailments will have to ma...

BACKGROUND Electrocardiogram (ECG) variability is greatly affected by the ECG recording method. This study aims to compare Holter and standard ECG recording methods in terms of central locations and variations of ECG data. METHODS We used the ECG data from a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial and used a mixed model approach to assess the agreement between two method...
