Pulsus bisferiens, also known as biphasic pulse, is an aortic waveform with two peaks per cardiac cycle, a small one followed by a strong and broad one. [1] It is a sign of problems with the aorta , including aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation , as well as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy causing subaortic stenosis.
Typical stimulation protocols used in clinical FES involves trains of electric pulses. Biphasic, charged balanced pulses are employed as they improve the safety of electrical stimulation and minimize some of the adverse effects. Pulse duration, pulse amplitude and pulse frequency are the key parameters that are regulated by the FES devices.
Other ECG changes associate with myocardial ischaemia are: ST segment depression with an upright T wave; ST segment depression with biphasic T wave or inverted T wave with negative QRS complex; [5] T wave symmetrically inverted with a pointed apex, while the ST segment is either bowed upwards or horizontally depressed, or not deviated; and ST ...
First, microelectrodes are implanted in the epidural space to deliver stimulation pulses to the tissue. Second, an electrical pulse generator implanted in the lower abdominal area or gluteal region while is connected to the electrodes via wires, and third a remote control to adjust the stimulus parameters such as pulse width and pulse rate in ...
Cardioversion is a medical procedure by which an abnormally fast heart rate (tachycardia) or other cardiac arrhythmia is converted to a normal rhythm using electricity or drugs.
The PAT signal is a form of pulse wave amplitude measured by incorporating both a unified pressure field and a specific isosbestic wavelength.Applying a uniform pressure field around the measured surface releases arterial wall motion restriction, magnifies the dynamic range of the recorded signal, and prevents the distention of the veins distal to the site of pressure application.
Biphasic, meaning having two phases, may refer to: Phase (matter), in the physical sciences, a biphasic system, e.g. one involving liquid water and steam; Biphasic sleep, a nap or siesta in addition to the usual sleep episode at night; Phase (pharmacology) Biphasic disease; Biphasic formulations of oral contraceptive pills
The definition of poor R wave progression (PRWP) varies in the literature. It may be defined, for example, as R wave of less than 2–4 mm in leads V 3 or V 4 and/or presence of a reversed R wave progression, which is defined as R in V 4 < R in V 3 or R in V 3 < R in V 2 or R in V 2 < R in V 1, or any combination of these.
