Hidden information in three-axial ECG data of normal subjects: Fractal dimensions of corresponding points from successive QRS loops as a potential sport and age dependent marker.

This study is aimed to estimate spatial variability of normal QRS loops trajectories in successive cardiac cycles analyzed in XYZ phase space among 27 young and 27 older subjects, both male and female. Among young subjects, 10 individuals were professional football players, while the remaining 17 were students without regular physical activities. Modified three-axial leads (Frank's lead system) were used continually to record high-resolution ECG (1 kHz sampling rate) at rest during 200 seconds by Biopac Student Lab System.

Immediate fatal outcome vs. fatal outcome within the first 48 hours following a severe traffic trauma--analysis of the possible effect of alcohol intoxication on the outcome.

Unlabelled: This paper is a retrospective analysis of data on 278 persons with fatal outcomes in traffic accidents in Osjecko--baranjska County, Croatia, during a five-year period. The observed sample of casualties was divided according to the time of fatal outcome into three groups: immediately deceased (139 or 50.0%), deceased within the first 48 hours (84 or 30.
