Noncardiac causes should be kept in the differential while evaluating ST elevation on EKG. Rarely abdominal pathologies like acute pancreatitis can present with ST elevation in the inferior leads. Once acute coronary syndrome is ruled out by emergent cardiac catheterization alternative diagnosis should be sorted. Abdominal pathologies, like acute pancreatitis and acute cholecystitis, can presen...

Background Fragmented QRS (fQRS) is a common EKG findings in general population. It has emerged as the independent predictor for cardiac events and all-cause mortality in patients with known coronary artery disease. However, none of the study evaluated the role of fQRS in patients without Q-wave on EKG. We aimed to evaluate whether fQRS is the predictor of cardiac function and myocardial scar i...

Easy run-time reconfigurability is a very desirable quality in many wireless sensor applications. In our project we show how a reconfigurable embedded sensor node, SunSPOT, can significantly extend its set of capabilities through run-time reconfiguration. We illustrate this using a portable electrocardiogram application whose job is to track the EKG patterns in patients and detect any potential...
