[Evaluation of the parameters concerning the method for determination of the sinus node recovery time. Personal experience (author's transl)]. 1976

G Balestra, and M Aquilina, and F Rusticali, and W Morgagni

On the basis of the personal experience of 36 patients with sick sinus syndrome, the role of length, seat, frequency of atrial stimulation (AS) on the duration of correct sinus node recovery time (CSNRT) were examined. The length of AS has little importance for values over 2 minutes. In 2 cases the CSNRT were pathological only if the position had been changed from the lateral wall of the right atrium to the middle right atrium. The frequency of AS is very important for the duration of pathological and maximal CSNRT. Therefore it is better to give every patient the major range of frequencies of AS as for a correct quantitative determination of sinus dysfunction so as not to lose some falsely negative results.

D008722 Methods A series of steps taken in order to conduct research. Techniques,Methodological Studies,Methodological Study,Procedures,Studies, Methodological,Study, Methodological,Method,Procedure,Technique
D001919 Bradycardia Cardiac arrhythmias that are characterized by excessively slow HEART RATE, usually below 50 beats per minute in human adults. They can be classified broadly into SINOATRIAL NODE dysfunction and ATRIOVENTRICULAR BLOCK. Bradyarrhythmia,Bradyarrhythmias,Bradycardias
D004558 Electric Stimulation Use of electric potential or currents to elicit biological responses. Stimulation, Electric,Electrical Stimulation,Electric Stimulations,Electrical Stimulations,Stimulation, Electrical,Stimulations, Electric,Stimulations, Electrical
D004562 Electrocardiography Recording of the moment-to-moment electromotive forces of the HEART as projected onto various sites on the body's surface, delineated as a scalar function of time. The recording is monitored by a tracing on slow moving chart paper or by observing it on a cardioscope, which is a CATHODE RAY TUBE DISPLAY. 12-Lead ECG,12-Lead EKG,12-Lead Electrocardiography,Cardiography,ECG,EKG,Electrocardiogram,Electrocardiograph,12 Lead ECG,12 Lead EKG,12 Lead Electrocardiography,12-Lead ECGs,12-Lead EKGs,12-Lead Electrocardiographies,Cardiographies,ECG, 12-Lead,EKG, 12-Lead,Electrocardiograms,Electrocardiographies, 12-Lead,Electrocardiographs,Electrocardiography, 12-Lead
D006323 Heart Arrest Cessation of heart beat or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. If it is treated within a few minutes, heart arrest can be reversed in most cases to normal cardiac rhythm and effective circulation. Asystole,Cardiac Arrest,Cardiopulmonary Arrest,Arrest, Cardiac,Arrest, Cardiopulmonary,Arrest, Heart,Asystoles
D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D001146 Arrhythmia, Sinus Irregular HEART RATE caused by abnormal function of the SINOATRIAL NODE. It is characterized by a greater than 10% change between the maximum and the minimum sinus cycle length or 120 milliseconds. Sinus Arrhythmia,Arrhythmia, Sinoatrial,Sinoatrial Arrhythmia,Arrhythmias, Sinoatrial,Arrhythmias, Sinus,Sinoatrial Arrhythmias,Sinus Arrhythmias
D012849 Sinoatrial Node The small mass of modified cardiac muscle fibers located at the junction of the superior vena cava (VENA CAVA, SUPERIOR) and right atrium. Contraction impulses probably start in this node, spread over the atrium (HEART ATRIUM) and are then transmitted by the atrioventricular bundle (BUNDLE OF HIS) to the ventricle (HEART VENTRICLE). Sinuatrial Node,Sinus Node,Sino-Atrial Node,Sinu-Atrial Node,Node, Sino-Atrial,Node, Sinoatrial,Node, Sinu-Atrial,Node, Sinuatrial,Node, Sinus,Nodes, Sino-Atrial,Nodes, Sinoatrial,Nodes, Sinu-Atrial,Nodes, Sinuatrial,Nodes, Sinus,Sino Atrial Node,Sino-Atrial Nodes,Sinoatrial Nodes,Sinu Atrial Node,Sinu-Atrial Nodes,Sinuatrial Nodes,Sinus Nodes
D013610 Tachycardia Abnormally rapid heartbeat, usually with a HEART RATE above 100 beats per minute for adults. Tachycardia accompanied by disturbance in the cardiac depolarization (cardiac arrhythmia) is called tachyarrhythmia. Tachyarrhythmia,Tachyarrhythmias,Tachycardias
D013997 Time Factors Elements of limited time intervals, contributing to particular results or situations. Time Series,Factor, Time,Time Factor
