Abstract

On the body surface of ten people with healthy hearts, His bundle signals were measured using a high-resolution IBM-PC-controlled, 64-channel ECG unit. From these, body surface potential maps (BSPM) were recorded in the PQ-segment. Separation from the disturbance-causing atrium potentials was carried out using two methods: the difference method and the differentiation method. The His maps formed the basis for improvement of the measuring method of non-invasive, beat-to-beat recording of the His bundle potentials. Different combinations and electrode placements for measurements of the His signal were tested using the beat-to-beat method. It was found that both unipolar, as well as bipolar measurements yield good results. Two of the unipolar and two of the bipolar electrode arrangements were included on our short list, one of which is particularly recommended for clinical application. In the case of unipolar measurements, the best combination is that with eight electrodes on the chest, whose sum-potential is measured using CTP as reference. The PQ-times and the HV intervals were stable in the ten healthy people tested, so that we were able to carry out time averaging in addition. For practical clinical purposes, we recommend the ...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
