BACKGROUND Resting conventional 12-lead ECG has low sensitivity for detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and low positive predictive value (PPV) for prediction of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD). We hypothesized that a approximately 5-min resting 12-lead advanced ECG test ("A-ECG") that combined results from both the advanced and convent...

over the years, the feasibility of using electrocardiogram (ecg) signal for human identification issue has been investigated, andsome methods have been suggested. in this research, a new effective intelligent feature selection method from ecg signals hasbeen proposed. this method is developed in such a way that it is able to select important features that are necessary for identificationusing a...

Preparations of intact flagella isolated from Caulobacter crescentus CB13B1a were found to contain two protein species of apparent molecular weights 28,000 and 25,000. Both proteins cross-reacted completely with each other and with purified flagella in Ouchterlony double-immunodiffusion assays. The amino acid compositions of the isolated proteins were similar to one another but precluded any pr...

The signal strength of the maternal ECG (MECG) is usually many times that of the fetal ECG (FECG). Separating FECG from abdominal ECG (AECG) is therefore always a challenge. Some multiple-lead algorithms use the thoracic MECG to cancel the MECG in the AECG to get FECG, though this is inconvenient for the patient during long-term monitoring. Hence, this paper describes an adaptive method to sepa...

the aim of this study was to determine the effects of ecg, pgf2α and gnrh hormone on improvement of reproduction performance of cidr synchronized zandi ewes in breeding season. 500 ewes with age of 2.5-4 years and same nutritional condition were selected for this study and received cidr for 12 days. then these ewes were assigned to five equal groups. first group received no hormone (control gro...

The aim of this study is to show that the measures derived from Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals many a time perform better than the same measures obtained from heart rate (HR) signals. A comparison was made to investigate how far the nonlinear symbolic dynamics approach helps to characterize the nonlinear properties of ECG signals and HR signals, and thereby discriminate between normal and cong...
