A medical student, resident, and three attending physicians evaluated the same set of FHR tracings. Interobserver agreement was assessed using the free-marginal kappa coefficient.Results Reviewers demonstrated substantial to excellent agreement on baseline rate (k = 0.97), moderate variability (k = ...
where 211/45 is the heart rate was not captured and resulted in a false negative. Annotations for the SMOKER tag are very sparse in the test dataset. While the system could correctly capture the ’ever’ indicator, it underperformed in the ’current’ and ’never’ indicators. This was ...
Prognostic value of reduced heart rate variability after myocardial infarction: clinical evaluation of a new analysis method. The relation between heart rate variability, measured from standard 24 hour electrocardiogram recordings in patients convalescent after a myocardial infarc... TR Cripps,M Malik,TG...
CKD can be diagnosed if glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is less than 60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or albuminuria is greater than 30 mg/24 h, both persisting for more than 3 months. Categories are defined by GFR and albuminuria measures (e.g., CKD category G3A3). Green, low risk; yellow,...
Differences between employment rate and self-reported mental stress were only tested between the hypertension and the non-hypertension groups. In another study suggesting sex/gender-specific differences in noise sensitivity as a possible explanation for different effects, noise sensitivity was assessed but...
For the past two years, I've been using all of the heart rate monitors below and more - often two or three at a time - to work out which is best. I looked for easy connectivity, consistent and accurate measurement, good battery life and a comfortable secure fit. I also tested out ...
HRV (heart rate variability) - a measure of thevariationof the heart rate. IBI (inter-beat interval) - a different measure of the time interval between adjacent cardiac cycles more commonly used with the PPG signal. PR (pulse rate) – a measure of the rate of cardiac cycles derived from...
AFib - improved rate control of heart Vasodilator prototypes Hydralazine + Isosorbide (BiDil) What is hydralazine + isosorbide used to treat? HF in self-identified African Americans Not a first line agent What should you check before giving hydralazine + isosorbide? BPBoth of them drop it!!
Avoid caffeine and alcohol - will prevent increases in your heart rate Maintain a healthy weight - if you are overweight it puts a greater workload on the heart Reduce stress Medications may be needed and will vary depending on the type of heart disease, but there are some general treatment...
Advances made in pediatric cardiology, cardiac surgery and critical care have significantly improved the survival rate of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) leading to an increase in children with CHD presenting for noncardiac surgical procedures. This study aims (1) to describe the trend ...
