We studied the Medtronic Thera and Kappa 400 dual chamber pacemakers to determine the causes and mechanism of shortening of the sensed AV delay during normal sinus rhythm. When the sensed AV delay shortens to less than its programmed value, it lengthens gradually and returns to its programmed dur...
The important thing is to be sensitive to anything your partner says (“Go faster!” or “Ooh! Too hard!”, etc.) and to pay attention to their breathing patterns or moaning. Often, when you hit a certain rhythm, it’ll be obvious that it’s working even if your partner doesn’t s...
A cardiac rhythm management system selects an atrioventricular (A-V) delay based on a time-interval between an atrial depolarization and mitral valve closure (MVC). For several different A-V delays, the system measures time intervals between atrial depolarizations (i.e., sensed or paced P-...
A typical protocol will include measurements at AV delays of 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, and 160 milliseconds, with each paced and sensed AV delay setting separated by a rest period of at least 10 to 15 beats. Simplified Doppler Screening for AV Optimization A simplified Doppler screening ...
Critic John Mosher sensed that Weissmuller was in for the long haul in just his second outing: FAUX JUNGLE…Critic John Mosher was impressed by the wild and forbidding jungle scenes portrayed in Tarzan and His Mate—actually locations around Los Angeles. At left, MGM poster proclaims “Johnny ...
My time to read, 3:30 PM, was going to be later than planned, because I had correctly sensed that the marathon was a bit behind time-wise. So I grabbed a coffee, which wasn't the smoothest move, because I forgot it can sometimes make my face break out. I powered through those fe...
Even prior to rush week, I sensed the system was incredibly superficial. Those who were planning on rushing received a power point presentation mapping out the outfits you were expected to wear. What’s worse, girls shopped relentlessly during winter break to buy the most expensive pieces of ...
Imagine taking two small metallic disks connected by a conducting wire. Place one disk on the scalp and connect the other to a neutral reference, such as the ear. Watch a tiny alternating current flow in the wire, proportional to the electrical activity sensed by the conducting contact. This...
A system for a method of treating a malfunctioning heart is based on hemodynamics, the pressure in the right side of a patient's circulatory system being sensed. A first signal is developed representa
We did not find in the literature the EEG-based emotion recognition of mixed feelings that combine positive and negative affects sensed at the same moment, for instance, bittersweet feelings. These mixed emotions are interesting because they are related to the study of higher creative performan...
