Microvolt T‐wave alternans in early repolarization syndrome associated with ventricular arrhythmias: A case report

open access: yesAnnals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 28, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023
Microvolt T‐wave alternans (MTWA) is a marker for the development of ventricular arrhythmias (VA), but its role in early repolarization (ER) syndrome remains unknown. MTWA was detected in a 90‐second 6‐lead electrocardiogram from an ER syndrome patient. On average, MTWA was 50 μV, higher than what was observed on healthy subjects.

Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in spinal cord injury: clinical practicability.

open access: yesJournal of Neurotrauma, 2014
Trauma to the spinal cord often results not only in sensorimotor but also autonomic impairments. The loss of autonomic control over the cardiovascular system can cause profound blood pressure (BP) derangements in subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI ...

Influence of some cardiovascular risk factors on the rela-tionship between age and blood pressure [PDF]

open access: yesNORDIC BALTIC CONFERENCE ON Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics 2020, 2020
Blood Pressure (BP) is a biological signal related to the cardiovascular system that inevitably is affected by ageing. Moreover, it is also influenced by the presence of cardiovascular risk factors. To evaluate how the relationship be-tween BP and age changes with the presence of risk factors in hypertensive and normotensive subjects, we analyzed 880 ...

Clinical Usefulness of Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2004
During the past decade, several prospective studies showed that ambulatory BP (ABP) measurements provide a better prediction of major cardiovascular events when compared with clinic BP measurements. This review summarizes the available evidence supporting the use of ABP monitoring to refine prognostic stratification in hypertension.
