Pseudo-Premature Ventricular Complex Can Herald Device Malfunction
The increasing number of complex functions in implantable devices demands for an increased ability to recognize these features during patient monitoring and assessment. New device algorithm and lead structures are embryonic concerning device implantation;

A study on stability analysis of atrial repolarization variability using ARX model in sinus rhythm and atrial tachycardia ECGs [PDF]
© 2016 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Background The interaction between the PTa and PP interval dynamics from the surface ECG is seldom explained. Mathematical modeling of these intervals is of interest in finding the relationship between the heart rate and ...
