Subaortic stenosis in a 2.9kg, 3-month-old pug dog and a 11 kg, 4-month-old Rott -weiler dog showing signs of dyspnea, tachypnea, anorexia, exercise intolerance and depression was diagnosed with electrocardiography, thoracic radiography and ultrasonographic evaluation. In electrocardiography, PR interval widening, R wave amplitude increase in lead II in case 2, ST segment depression and left axis deviation in case 1 and 2 were identified. In thoracic radiographs, enlarged left ventricle and atrium, caudal displacement of left crus of diaphragm and caudal part of cranial mediastinum widening were identified in ventrodorsal view. In lateral view, left ventricular enlargement, secondary dorsal deviation of trachea and post-stenotic dilation of aorta were seen. Also, edematous pulmonary changes were shown in peri-hilar area. In ultrasonographic examination, left ventricular dilatation, pericardial effusion and subaortic valvular ridge were seen with real time B-mode in right parasternal long axis view. Aortic valve regurgitation was identified in color-Doppler mode.

The purpose of this study is to verify the utility of reflected photoplethysmography sensor using two green light emitting diodes that influenced by ambient light. Recently it has been studied that green light emitting diode is suitable for light source of reflected photoplethysmography sensor at low temperature and high temperature. Another study showed that, green light is better for monitoring heart rate during motion than led light. However, it has a bad characteristic about ambient light noise. To verify the utility of reflected photoplethysmography sensor using green light emitting diode, this study measures the photoplethysmography signal that is distorted by ambient light and will propose a solution. This study has two parts of research method. One is measurement system that composed sensor and board. The sensor is made up PE-foam and Non-woven fabric for flexible sensor. The photoplethysmography signal is measured by measurement board that composed high-pass filter, low-pass filter and amplifier. Ambient light source is light bulb and white light emitting diode that has three steps brightness. Photoplethysmography signal is measured with lead II electrocardiography signal at the same time and it is measured at the finger and radial artery for 1 minute, 1000 Hz sampling rate. The lead II electrocardiography signal is a standard signal for heart rate and photoplethysmography signal that measured at the finger is a standard signal for waveform. The test is repeated 3 times using three sensor. The data is processed by MATLAB to verify the utility by comparing the correlation coefficient score and heart rate. The photoplethysmography sensor using two green light emitting diodes is shown better utility than using one green light emitting diode and red light emitting diode at the ambient light. The waveform and heart rate that measured by two green light emitting diodes are more identical than others. The amount of electricity used is less than red light emitting diode and error peak detectability factor is the lowest.

Heart Rate Variability(HRV) is a parameter that represents monitoring variability of time intervals between R-peak in electrocardiography. HRV serves to various applications, such as indices of autonomic functions, prediction of cardiac sudden death, assessment of stress and emotional, etc. However, as measuring R-peak in ECG needs at least 3-electrodes, and it is inconvenient for end users. In this paper, we suggested the modified laplacian electrodes for measuring HRV at one-point, which are producted by MEMS fabrication and have the two circular electrodes on the pad. For optimal position and direction, we performed an experiment that compared with pearson correlation coefficient and the amplitude of signals, between standard lead II and proposed electrodes. We analyzed the HRV parameters, such as standard deviation of the NN interval(SDNN), high frequency(HF), low frequency(LF), LF/HF ratio. The result showed that the average correlation coefficient and amplitude are 0.967 and 0.685 mVpp at the position 2. The coeffiecient correlation between the standard HRV and proposed electrode-HRV is 0.999

목 적: 심근의 단독 비경화증은 성인을 대상으로 산발적인 보고가 있었으나 소아에서는 정확한 혈역학적인 양상, 장기적인 예후, 유전 양상 등에 대해서는 많이 알려지지 않은 상태이다. 저자들은 심근의 단독 비경화증을 보이는 환자군의 임상 양상, 혈역학적인 성상과 경과, 형태학적 특성 및 유전양상 등을 평가하고자 본 조사를 시행하였다. 방 법 : 충남대학교병원 소아과에서 1997년부터 2001년까지, 심초음파 검사를 통하여 심근의 단독 비경화증으로 진단받은 10명(남아 5명, 여아 5명)을 대상으로 임상 양상, 혈역학적인 성상과 경과, 형태학적 특성 및 유전양상 등을 조사하였다. 결 과: 환자들의 진단시의 평균 연령은 $45{\pm}53$개월(1일-14세)이었으며, 평균 추적 관찰 기간은 $33{\pm}19$개월이었다. 남녀비는 동일하였다. 심초음파 검사시 발현 증상은 부정맥 3명, 태아 초음파 검사상 서맥 2명, 심잡음 4명이었다. 다른 심기형이 동반된 환자는 6명으로, 3명은 심실중격결손 또는 심방중격결손이 있었고, 2명은 승모판 탈출증이 동반된 동맥관 개존증, 1명은 승모판 열극이 있었다. 2명에서 심전도상, II, III, aVF 유도에서 T파의 하강이 관찰되었고, WPW 증후군의 환자는 1명으로 발견 당시 발작성 상실성 빈맥이 동반되었다. 2명에서 가족성 동기능 장애가 발견되었으며, 제 3도 방실 차단이 1명의 환자에서 있었다. 심초음파 검사 상 지주 간 고랑의 정도는 승모판 수준에서 심첨부로 갈수록 심하였다. 가족적 발생을 보인 2명에서 가족성 동기능 장애를 동반하였다. 추적관찰 중 대부분의 환자는 무증상이나, 2명에서 좌심실수축기능 저하가 있었고, 이 중 1명은 심한 동기능 장애로 영구 심박 조율기 삽입 시술이 필요한 상태이다. 결 론 : 소아에서 심근의 단독 비경화증은 아주 드문 질환은 아니며, 성인과 마찬가지로 심근기능 장애 및 심각한 합병증의 발생 가능성이 있기 때문에 꾸준한 추적 관찰이 필요하다. 또한 가족적 발생을 할 수 있으므로 환자 가족 내 선별 검사를 해야 하며, 심근의 단독 비경화증의 정확한 빈도, 장기적 예후, 진단기준의 객관성을 확보하기 위하여 국내에서도 광범위한 다기관 연구가 필요하다.
