By finding the average ECG signal, you may be able to find changes or differences in the morphology of the waves which are predictors of cardiac disease or useful in diagnosing certain diseases. The specific case of which I know SAECG is used is in the case of alternans. Alternans exist as a normally very subtle change in the morphology of the ECG signal. The change happens every other beat; hence the name alternans. For example, the ECG signal may show a A-B-A-B-A-B type pattern in morphology. Normally, the alternans are very difficult to detect visually in th ECG because of their small (microvolt) size. Using SAECG, one can average out enough heart beats to reduce the noise level to a level less than the level of the alternans, enabling one to detect the alternans. Alternans are considered a sign of instability in the heart, and are possibly useful in the prediction of sudden cardiac death. I hope that explains a little about SAECG... I must qualify this with the statement that this _is_ only based on my personal understanding. If you are interested in a few references (from my lab) about alternans, check out the URL below; I have a very nice example of alternans (visible, which is unusual) along with some of our abstracts searchable online. I'm in the process of creating YA (yet another) cardiology index... but that is far from done. -Yueh ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yueh Z.

How helpful is it in predicting ventricular >arrhythmias? Thanks Just to add my two cents...I'm no expert either, but my boss is one of the true experts in the field. As I understand it, there are characteristics in the ECG that are very subtle and of low amplitude. Assuming that the ECG is relatively stable over many beats and that the noise is random over those same beats, one can average all the beats together. The ECG (and all its subtleties) are reenforced by the averaging while the noise (because it's random) will sort of cancel itself out (or rather, not reenforce itself). The Signal-to-noise ratio goes up something like sqrt(n), where n is the number of beats averaged. For an example, if you have a substrate in your heart (e.g. a myocardial infarct zone) which predisposes you to a ventricular tachycardia, the conduction through that substrate may be "abnormal." That abnormal conduction may be reflected in the ECG (e.g. as a "late potential"), but at such a small amplitude that it's difficult to distinguish it from the noise. If you do a signal averaged ECG, the characteristic in question may become visible over the noise if you average enough beats. So, in summary, signal averaged ECG helps to distinguish low amplitude cardiac activity from noise. This cardiac activity may be indicative of a particular substrate in the tissue. This particular substrate may predispose you to an arrhythmia. Hope this helps.

Note that even the name has NO in it. Like NO, minoxidil apparently relaxes vascular smooth muscle by acting as a K-channel agonist and/or activating guanylate cyclase. Anyway, minoxidil is reported to induce penile erections on topical application. Presumably, this is also due to NO agonism. Most likely, this also accounts for minoxidil's hair growth-stimulating ability. BTW, as in the case of vasodialation ( superoxide has been called "endothelium-derived contracting factor" ) superoxide dismutases also stimulate hair growth. There are anecdotal reports that SODases stimulate erections. As an associate once said--- " Nitric oxide-- hair, hypertension, and H--dons.

I'm a 44 years old male, and my family Dr. told me that I get Polycytemia (light). My pulse rate is normaly aprox. 95, (but eventually goes to 110) and I use for the blood pressure Penedil 5 mg. (Felodipine 5 mg). I'm using Aspirine retard too. MY average blood pressure is 120/90. I smoke about 15 cigarettes per day. I don't do any physical exercises and I work in an office. I've done 3 heart Echo, and everything seems to be O.K, but there are two things that concerns me: first - my low b.p.,90 - and second the high pulse rate in repose (resting). There is a medicament or natural treatment to reduce the Tahcycardia? There is a medicament or natural treatment to reduce ONLY the low b.p? By the way, I heard that the medicament I use can cause a heart stroke, and because I'm a little Hypohonder I wonder if it's true. I'll be very thankful if any Dr. specialist will respond.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. Contents: -------- 1) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 2) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 3) How to access BIOSCI/bionet newsgroup archives. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 1) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups) and mailing lists. The same postings are distributed on both media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the newsgroups from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date. This means that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism. We are working on new systems to provide access to our newsgroups over the WWW. These should be available soon, probably November 1995, and will allow you to use your Web browser to look at the news postings. While this will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. 2) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member.

I heard some physician say once that if your earlobes are folded it indicates atherosclerosis. Am I crazy? I've noticed since that people with folded ear lobes tend to be overweight, middle-aged men. ---------------------- sandraw@U.Arizona.EDU From owner-cardiovascular@net.bio.net Tue Oct 24 22:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!bcm.tmc.edu!news.msfc.nasa.gov!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in2.uu.net!prodigy.com!usenet From: VBTL52A@prodigy.com (Mary Gerritsen) Newsgroups: bionet.biology.cardiovascular Subject: North American Vasc.

On behalf of this company, I am researching the U.S. market for support, elastic, compression, pneumatic, anti-embolic, and other similar stocking/hosiery medical devices (found typically under the category of "surgical appliances and supplies": SICC 3842). For this product category, I would very much appreciate guidance to appropriate: >> expert individuals in the field (medical, commercial or non-profit), >> consultants serving the product industry, >> analysts covering the industry, >> market profiles, histories, and/or trends, >> statistical sources and informational resources, >> commercial producers of these products, >> trade associations of manufacturers and commercializers of or practitioners in these products, >> affiliation groups concerned with the conditions or diseases treated by these products, >> channels of distribution for these products, >> trade publications in this or related fields, and >> trade conferences or shows in this or related fields. The salutary result of your kind aid could be an alternative source of quality products to serve the needs of those involved in this arena as care providers or patients. Thank you!

Tomas was one of the pioneers of modern cardiac embryology. He organized the meeting in Lausanne in July 1979 that served as a stimulus for the new era of research in cellular and molecular cardiovascular development. He served as a colleague, mentor and friend to all of us. Tomas' probing questions challenged us to seek the highest level of understanding. Tomas is survived by his wife, Marie and son Andre'. I encourage you to send your memories of Tomas to them at: Les Terrasses CM1603 Chenaux Switzerland Sincerely, Ed Clark ************ Edward B.
