We investigated the effects of pulsed magnetic fields (PMF) stimulus on electroencephalogram (EEG) alpha activity and heart rate variability (HRV) from electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements with various stimulus durations at acupoint PC9. The alpha activity in the EEG and the ratio of low frequency power and high frequency power (LHR) in the HRV, a reflection of sympathovagal activity, were increased and decreased, respectively, after PMF stimulus of 3 min. Our spectral analysis quantitatively proved that the changes in the EEG alpha activity were consistent with an autonomic function in the ECG. These findings suggest that appropriate PMF stimulus results in the same effect as that of acupuncture applied to the acupoint PC9, which is closely related to the parasympathetic activity of the autonomic nervous system.

Doxorubicin induces oxidative stress leading to cardiotoxicity causing electrocardiogram abnormalities and increases in biomarkers associated with toxicity. Green tea extract (GTE) is reported to possess antioxidant activity mainly via its polyphenolic constituent, catechins. This study was intended to determine the effect of various doses of GTE (25, 50 and 100 mg/kg/day p.o. for 30 days) on doxorubicin-induced electrocardiographic and biochemical changes in rat heart. The latter included lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase in serum and superoxide dismutase, catalase, and reduced glutathione, as well as membrane bound enzymes like $Na^+K^+ATPase,\;Ca^{2+}ATPase,\;Mg^{2+}ATPase$ and decreased lipid peroxidation in heart tissue Results demonstrated that rats which received GTE were less susceptible to such changes indicating protection afforded by GTE.

In this paper, we propose an effective compression method for electrocardiogram(ECG) signals. 1-D ECG signals are reconstructed to 2-D ECG data by period and complexity sorting schemes with image compression techniques to Increase inter and intra-beat correlation. The proposed method added block division and mean-period normalization techniques on top of conventional 2-D data ECG compression methods. JPEG 2000 is chosen for compression of 2-D ECG data. Standard MIT-BIH arrhythmia database is used for evaluation and experiment. The results show that the proposed method outperforms compared to the most recent literature especially in case of high compression rate.

This study was conducted to investigate visual threshold of nigro (Cichlasoma nigrofasciatum) on white LED light. The visual threshold was obtained by analyzing electrocardiogram (ECG) of the nigro. 5 individuals (body weight: 15.62~45.49 g; TL: 8.9~12.4 cm) were trained for lights by an electric stimulus. And then the heart rate (beats/10s) before and after switching on the light were compared. Light intensity range was from 0.00 to 226.4 lux. Average heart rate was 10.36 beats/10s in the normal condition. When the fish perceived the light, the heart rate was decreased. Visual threshold of the fish was 2.59 lux.

K14 patient with chronic dyspnea, who is senile female, early had suffered from radical mastectomy, radiotherapy, autoplastic transplantation, and knee arthritis. Abnormalities of cardiopulmonary function such as obesita, hypertension, mild left ventricular hypertrophy, and chronic pulmonary disease were found from K14 patient's clinical datas, which based on medical history and diagnosis, as well as evaluation of blood pressure, obesity, clinical diagnosis, chest PA, electrocardiogram, ultrasonocardiograph, and spirometery test. Diagnostic results were exactly analyzed, also long-term cares of K14 patient were discussed with related to the clinical literatures.

The position and time interval of wave components of the electrocardiogram are used as important data for physician's diagnosis. In case of using the existing definition of the onset of the wave component of the electrocardiogram, they have some problems of defining the precise position of the isoelectric line, of defining the limit of the gradient accepted as the onset, and of the gradient being changed by noise. Therefore, in this paper all time intervals and positions of wave components needed for data of diagnosis were obtained correctly by turning point data reduction algorithm and linear regression intersection algorithm, and the viability of the method of intersecting lines was established in comparison to the four methods of calculating the PR interval.

본 연구는 전도성 섬유를 양말에 부착하여 발바닥에서 심전도(ECG, Electrocardiogram) 신호를 검출하였다. 발바닥에서 측정한 심전도 신호와 손목에서 측정한 심전도 신호에 Pan-Tompkins algorithm을 적용하였고 R-R interval을 검출하였다. 이후 발바닥과 손목에서 측정된 심전도의 유의성을 검출하기 위해 비모수 검정법인 Spearman검정을 사용하여 상관분석을 수행하였다. 상관분석 결과, 유의확률 p=0.00에서 correlation coefficient=0.901로 두 데이터는 강한 양의 선형 관계에 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, multi pulse excited-linear predictive coding (MPE-LPC), where the correlation eliminated residual signal is modeled by a few pules, is shown to be effective for the compression of electrocardiogram (ECG) data, and a more efficient scheme for a faithful reconstruction of ECG is proposed. The reconstruction charateristic of QRS's and P.T waves is improved using the adaptive pulse allocation (APA), and the compression ratio (CR) can be changed by controlling the mumber of modeling pulses. The performance of the proposed method was evaluated using 10 normal and 10 abnormal ECG data. The proposed method had a better performance than the variable threshold amplitude zone time epoch coding (AZTEC) algorithm and the scan-along polygonal approximation (SAPA) algorithm with the same CR. With the CR in kthe range of 8:1 to 14:1, we could compress ECG data efficiently.

The body surface ECG(electrocardiogram) is produced by the electric fields caused by the propagation of action potentials within the myocardial cells. The repolarization phase of the action potential is very sensitive to factors of clinical importance. Therefore, in this paper of the inverse electrocardiography, we studied a method of estimating the uniform action potentials during repolarization phase from the body surface ECG using digital signal identification techniques. The estimated action potential of a normal was similar to that of clinical data in the repolarization phase.
