background : methadone is considered as a good choice for maintenance treatment program (mmtp) in opioid addicted individuals. qt interval prolongation was reported previously in methadone chronic usersespecially in high dose prescription. qt-interval prolongation predisposes patients to lethal dysrhythmia. this is a report of corrected qt(qtc) prolongation due to acute methadone poisoning. to ...

in hungary, ecg is a keystone of routine athletic screening. its significance is based on simplicity, quickness and high informative value as well as the fact that appearance of pathological ecg signs can precede the formation of structural heart diseases. during screening of healthy athletes, we studied the incidence of athletic ecg changes and pathological ecg abnormalities. methods: we pe...

Background: In addition to heart disease, ECG also changes in non-heart disease, which due to its similarity, can lead to misdiagnosis of heart disease in patients. ECG changes in brain lesions such as ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes, brain traumas, etc. and have been studied in many articles, but the effects of brain midline shift on ECG changes have not been studied. In this study, we want t...

background: there is evidence that electrocardiographic (ecg) changes occur during elective cesarean section in parturients. these changes, mostly in the form of st-segment depression, have been noted in either regional anesthesia or general anesthesia. we performed this study to compare hemodynamic variables and electrocardiographic changes suggestive of myocardial ischemia following administr...

the aim of this study was to define the electrocardiogram (ecg) changes following the moderate to severe co intoxication in rats, and also evaluating the effect of erythropoietin (epo) on observed cardiac disturbances. the growing literature on erythropoietin effect on cardiac ischemia led us to question its effect on cardiotoxicity due to the carbon monoxide poisoning. wistar rats were exposed...

background during the four steps of the valsalva maneuver (vm), opposite changes can be observed in some physiologic parameters. manifestations of the vm in the electrocardiogram (ecg) have been studied in detail, but there have been few reports comparing vm-related biochemical and hemodynamic changes with a focus on the strain phase of the vm. objectives we studied strain-related ecg changes d...

The aim of this study was to define the electrocardiogram (ECG) changes following the moderate to severe CO intoxication in rats, and also evaluating the effect of erythropoietin (EPO) on observed cardiac disturbances. The growing literature on erythropoietin effect on cardiac ischemia led us to question its effect on cardiotoxicity due to the carbon monoxide poisoning. Wistar rats were exposed...

Background: Simultaneous electrocardiographic (ECG) changes are seen in hemorrhagic brain events even in the absence of associated myocardial infarction (MI). This study was designed to assess the role of ECG changes to predict true MI in patients with hemorrhagic brain trauma. Methods: Data of 153 patients with traumatic brain injury and concomitant ECG changes were recorded. Enzyme study w...
