조기심실수축(PVC)은 가장 보편적인 부정맥으로 심실세동, 심실빈맥 등과 같은 위험한 상황을 유발할 수 있는 가능성을 가지고 있기 때문에 이의 조기 검출은 매우 중요하다. 특히 일반인들의 건강상태를 지속적으로 모니터링 해야 하는 헬스케어 시스템에서는 이를 위한 심전도 신호의 실시간 처리가 필요하다. 즉, 최소한의 연산량으로 정확한 R파를 검출하고, 대상 환자의 특징을 파악하여 PVC를 분류할 수 있는 적합한 알고리즘의 설계가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PVC 실시간 분류를 위한 환자 적응형 패턴 매칭 기법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 전 처리 과정과 적응 가변형 문턱 값과 윈도우를 통해 R파를 검출하였으며, 검출 대상에 따른 정상신호 군을 선별하고 이를 벗어나는 신호를 이상신호로 분류하기 위해 해쉬 함수를 통한 패턴 매칭 기법을 적용하였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 R파 검출 및 정상신호 분류 성능을 평가하기 위해서 MIT-BIH 부정맥 데이터베이스를 사용하였다. 성능평가 결과, R파는 평균 99.33%, 이상신호 분류에 대한 에러율은 0.32%로 나타났다.

We reviewed the anatomical characteristics of the conduction system in the ventricles of human and ungulate hearts and then raised some questions to be answered by clinical and anatomical studies in the future. The ventricular conduction system is a 3-dimensional structure as compared to the 2-dimensional character of the atrial conduction system. The proximal part consisting of the atrioventricular node, the bundle of His and fascicles are groups of conducting cells surrounded by fibrous connective tissue so as to insulate from the underlying myocardium. Their location and morphological characters are well established. The bundle of His is a cord like structure but the left and right fascicles are broad at the proximal and branching at the distal part. The more distal part of fascicles and Purkinje system are linear networks of conducting cells at the immediate subendocardium but the intra-mural network is detected at the inner half of the ventricular wall. The papillary muscle also harbors Purkinje system not in the deeper part. It is hard to recognize histologically in human hearts but conducting cells as well as Purkinje cells are easily recognized in ungulate hearts. Further observation on human and ungulate hearts with myocardial infarct, we could find preserved Purkinje system at the subendocardium in contrast to the damaged system at the deeper myocardium. Further studies are necessary on the anatomical characteristics of this peripheral conduction system so as to correlate the clinical data on hearts with ventricular arrhythmias.

배경: 빈맥을 이용하여 심부전을 만드는 방법은 확장성 심근증 모델 중에서 가장 좋은 방법으로 심장에 외과적 손상 혹은 약물의 독성을 최소화할 수 있고 사람의 심부전에 가장 가까우며 조작하기 쉬운 장점이 있다. 새로운 술식의 효과를 검증하기 위하여 심부전이 진행중인 모델에서 동물실험을 시행하는 것은 결과를 얻기 전에 실패할 가능성이 높다. 심부전의 진행을 중지시킨 회복궤도의 변화를 비교하는 방법은 심부전 악화에 의한 사망률을 줄일 수 있는 새로운 방법이지만 빈맥 조작 기술에 따라 저자마다 상당한 차이가 있어 이에대한 자료의 정립이 필요한 실정이다. 대상 및 방법: 21마리의 개(체중 25-35kg)를 대상으로 1)정상의 심장, 2) 심부전 심장, 3) 회복기 4주 4) 회복기 8주 등 4가지로 나누었다. 전신마취하에 우심실첨부에 박동기 전극을 삽입하여 빈맥은 처음 170회/분부터 매주 20회씩 프로그래머를 이용하여 증가시켰다. 4주 후 심부전이 발생하면 8주간의 회복기 동안 회복 궤도를 추적하였다. 심장의 크기와 혈역학적 변화를 관찰하고자 초음파는 2주마다, Swan-Ganz 도자와 열희석법은 4주마다 검사를 실시하여 이완기 말기 좌심실 체적, 수축기말기 좌심실 체적, 심박출율, 중심정맥압, 폐동맥압, 폐동맥 쐐기압, 우심실압, 일회박출량 등을 측정하였으며, 정상과 심부전 심장 상태에서 혈중 카테콜라민을 측정하였다. 그 외 심전도 및 대퇴동맥 도자를 넣어 맥박수, 혈압을 측정하였다. 정상심장, 심부전 심장, 회복기 4주 및 8주에서 측정한 값은 평균$\pm$표준편차로 표시하였다. 결과: 4마리(20%)가 심부전에 의한 합병증으로 사망하였다. 이완기 말기 좌심실 체적은 측정시기에 따라 40.8$\pm$7.4, 82.1$\pm$21.1, 59.9$\pm$7.7, 46.5$\pm$6.5ml로 수축기말기 좌심실 체적과 비슷한 변화양상을 보였으며 심박출율은 50.6$\pm$4.1, 17.5$\pm$5.8, 36.3$\pm$7.3, 41.5$\pm$2.4%였다. 혈압과 맥박은 의의 있는 양상을 보이지 않았으며 중심정맥압, 우심실압, 폐동맥압, 폐동맥 쐐기압 등은 심부전 시에 의의 있는 증가를 보이다가 회복기에는 감소하는 양상을 볼 수 있다. 일회박출량은 21.5$\pm$8.2, 12.3$\pm$3.5, 17.9$\pm$4.6, 15.5$\pm$3.4ml으로 회복기에 심부전 상태로부터 회복하는 경향을 볼 수 있었다. 혈중 카테콜라민은 정상 133.3$\pm$60.0pg/dL에서 심부전 시에는 479.4$\pm$327.3pg/dL로 증가를 보였다(p=0.008). 결론: 빈맥을 이용한 심부전 모델은 외과적손상이 적고, 병의 정도를 임의로 조절할 수 할 수 있는 간편한 방법이다. 회복기에는 심기능 및 심장비대가 회복하는 경향을 보이므로 향후 새로운 술식의 평가를 위하여 회복 궤도를 이용하는 경우 실험 동물의 심부전 악화에 의한 사망율을 줄일 수 있는 새로운 방법이다.

We present the case of a healthy 28-day-old female full-term neonate who was admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit for severe metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia, and an initial sinus rhythm. The first diagnostic hypothesis was hypovolemic shock, and fluid resuscitation was started immediately. During fluid therapy, cardiovascular collapse occurred with supraventricular tachycardia. The latter was successfully treated with adenosine and beta-blockers. After 8 days, electrocardiography showed ventricular pre-excitation, and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was diagnosed. A novel variant of the MYL2 gene that is related to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and conduction defect was found after discharge. Cardiogenic shock should be considered, despite being a rare cause of shock in neonates.

Purpose: The use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) to prevent sudden cardiac death is increasing in children and adolescents. This study investigated the use of ICDs in children with congenital heart disease. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted on the clinical characteristics and effectiveness of ICD implantation at the department of pediatrics of a single tertiary center between 2007 and 2011. Results: Fifteen patients underwent ICD implantation. Their mean age at the time of implantation was $14.5{\pm}5.4$ years (range, 2 to 22 years). The follow-up duration was $28.9{\pm}20.4$ months. The cause of ICD implantation was cardiac arrest in 7, sustained ventricular tachycardia in 6, and syncope in 2 patients. The underlying disorders were as follows: ionic channelopathy in 6 patients (long QT type 3 in 4, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia [CPVT] in 1, and J wave syndrome in 1), cardiomyopathy in 5 patients, and postoperative congenital heart disease in 4 patients. ICD coils were implanted in the pericardial space in 2 children (ages 2 and 6 years). Five patients received appropriate ICD shock therapy, and 2 patients received inappropriate shocks due to supraventricular tachycardia. During follow-up, 2 patients required lead dysfunction-related revision. One patient with CPVT suffered from an ICD storm that was resolved using sympathetic denervation surgery. Conclusion: The overall ICD outcome was acceptable in most pediatric patients. Early diagnosis and timely ICD implantation are recommended for preventing sudden death in high-risk children and patients with congenital heart disease.

The data were analyzed by using an S. P. S. S. computerized program for mean, standard deviation, percentage and paired t-test. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The increase in $PaO_2$ after hyperoxygenation and hyperinflation was highly statistically significant(p=0.041), and the increase in $PaO_2$ immediately after suctioning was not significant (p=0.752). The time of lowest $PaO_2$ was 30 seconds after the endotracheal suction. 2. The occurrance of cardiac arrhythmia after the endotracheal suction included sinus tachycardia, sinus arrhythmia, sinus bradycardia, premature atrial contraction (PAC), and premature ventricular contraction (PVC). The most frequent cardiac arrhythmia was sinus tachycardia (a subjects). Sinus arrhythmia was observed in 5 subjects and continued till 10 minutes after suctioning in two of these. Sinus bradycardia occurred in only 3 subjects and among them, 1 subjects shows sinus arrythmia till 10 minutes after suctioning along. PAC was observed in only one subject and continued till five minutes after suctining along with sinus arrhythmia. PVC was observed in three subjects: it lasted for only 30 seconds after suctioning in two subjects. but continued for 10 minutes after suctioning in the third. 6 subjects manifested two kinds of Cardiac arrhythmia Three of them showed sinus tachycardia with PVC, another 2 showed sinus bradycardia with sinus arrhythmia, and the other subject showed sinus arrhythmia with PAC. 3. The increases in heart rate during the endotracheal suction immediately after and at 30 seconds after suctioning were statistically significant (p=0.005). The increase in heart rate at one minute after suctioning was also significant (p=0.023). The increase in heart rate continued until 10 minutes after the endotracheal suction, but was not statistically significant In this study, endotracheal suctioning with hyperoxygenation and hyperinflation was effective in preventing a decrease in $PaO_2$ after suctioning, but not in preventing cardiac arrhythmias. Nurses should be aware of the complications of endotracheal suctioning and do effective hyperoxygenation and hyperinflation before and after suctioning. Further research is needed to develop a efficient endotracheal suction method which will minimize complications. This study needs to be replicated with different population of patients intubatted or having a tracheostomy, specifically, patients who cardiac or pulmonary desease.

The electrophysiological effects of benzopyran potassium channel openers (PCOs: lemakalim, KR-30450 and KR-30818) on the ischemia/reperfusion-induced arrythmias were investigated. In anesthetized rats, subjected to 45 min occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) followed by 90 min reperfusion, ventricular arrythmias were identified according to the Lambeth Conventions by lead II ECG. Rats were intravenously given vehicle ($1\%$ DMSO), lemakalim, KR-30450, and KR-30818 alone or in combination with a selective $K_{ATP}$ blocker glibenclamide, 30 min prior to coronary occlusion. Compared to vehicle, lemakalim ($30{\mu}g/kg$ i.v.), the active enantiomer of cromakalim, had a tendancy to increase the duration of ventricular tachycardia (Vl) and ventricular fibrillation (VF), the number of premature ventricular complexes (PVC) and the incidence of VF, especially in the early post-occlusion peroid ($0\~15$ min), while increasing ST-segment elevation. Both KR-30450 ($30{\mu}g/kg$, i.v.) and KR-30818 (30, $100{\mu}g/kg$, i.v.) showed similar proarrhythmic effects to lemakalim (PVC, duration of VT, and incidence of VF) with a tendancy to decrease the duration of VF and ST-segment elevation. Unlike other PCOs, however, glibenclamide (0.3, 1.0 mg/kg) had opposite effects on the induction of arrhythmias (PVC, the duration of VF); it had a tendancy to increase the duration of VT with a slight elevation of ST-segment. It seems likely that glibenclamide (0.3 mg/kg, i.v.), reduced the effects of lemakalim or KR-30450 ($30{\mu}g/kg$, i.v.) on arrhythmias (PVC, VT, VF and ST-segment). These results indicate that, in the coronary occluded rat model of ischemia, lemikuiln and KR-30450 exert a proarrhythmic activity, the effect being considered related to the opening of KATP channel.

To gain insight into the relationship between the occurrence of occlusive arrhythmia(OA) and the incidence of reperfusion arrhythmia(RA), this study used 25 open-chest dogs anesthetized with halothan, these were ligated between anterior ventricular branch and marginal branch of left circumflex artery for 30 minutes and occlusive arrhythmia were observed during the ligation. After releasing of the ligation, TA were observed during 5 minutes. The results were summerized as follow； 1. Such arrhythmias as ventricular fibrillation(VF), short run type VPC Premature contraction(VPC), Venticular tachycardia(VT), ventricularc and trigeminy VPC(TVPC) were observed during occlusion and reperfusion. 2. The cases occurred VT, SRVPC and TVPC during occlusion necessarily were Incidence of RA. 3. RA never occurred without appearence of occlusive arrhythmias. 4. The occurrence rate of OA showed 55.5% in the incidence group of RA and 24.6％ in the non incidence group of RA. 5. The occurrence rate of VPC during occlusion showed 9.9＋5.85(episode/min) in the incidence group of RA and 4.46＋5.88(episode/min) in the non-incidence group of RA. These results may be estimated that the occurrence of VT, SRVPC and TVPC, and the high occurrence rate of VPC during occlusion can be predicted the incidence.
