Signal enhancement for detection of specialized atrioventricular conduction system electrograms during open-heart surgery. 1977

J Schatz, and S Ross, and E Krongrad, and F O Bowman, and J R Malm, and B F Hoffman

A method for signal enhancement of electrograms of the specialized atrioventricular conduction system is presented. This method allows a single electrogram to replace the tracings of bipolar electrograms previously required to ensure recognition of the specialezed conduction system and yet maintains the safety afforded by use of three pairs of recording electrodes. In addition, this new signal is enhanced in magnitude and is always unidirectional (positive). These features are desirable for automated signal recognition. This method therefore provides an important step toward future automation and signal recognition of specialized conduction system electrograms during open-heart surgery.

D006327 Heart Block Impaired conduction of cardiac impulse that can occur anywhere along the conduction pathway, such as between the SINOATRIAL NODE and the right atrium (SA block) or between atria and ventricles (AV block). Heart blocks can be classified by the duration, frequency, or completeness of conduction block. Reversibility depends on the degree of structural or functional defects.
