AI Article Synopsis
- Holter monitoring during hip prosthesis cementation revealed a sudden loss of R-wave on the ECG.
- A post-mortem examination found a substantial intracardiac air embolus.
- The presence of this air embolus likely caused the observed ECG changes.
Article Abstract
Holter monitoring during cementation of a hip prosthesis showed sudden R-wave loss. At post mortem, demonstration of a large intracardiac air embolus may explain the ECG changes.

Intraoperative ST Segment Depression During General Anesthesia in a Child: Early Detection of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy.
Cardiol Res
December 2024
Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, Nationwide Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring during surgery in infants and children is essential to detect potential myocardial pathologies, despite the rarity of these issues in pediatric patients.
- A case is presented involving a 2-year-old child who showed ST segment depression and increased R wave amplitude during surgery, which led to the discovery of undiagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy postoperatively.
- The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing ECG changes and the need for thorough evaluation to prevent complications during and after surgery, even when patients appear asymptomatic.
Photoplethysmography as a noninvasive surrogate for microneurography in measuring stress-induced sympathetic nervous activation - A machine learning approach.
Comput Biol Med
February 2025
School of Information Technology, Deakin University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Electronic address:
The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is essential for the body's immediate response to stress, initiating physiological changes that can be measured through sympathetic nerve activity (SNA). While microneurography (MNG) is the gold standard for direct SNA measurement, its invasive nature limits its practical use in clinical settings. This study investigates the use of multi-wavelength photoplethysmography (PPG) as a non-invasive alternative for SNA measurement.

Introduction: Quetiapine shares sodium channel-blocking properties with tricyclic antidepressants. We present the electrographic findings in two patients with severe quetiapine poisoning.
Case Summaries: Two patients poisoned with quetiapine presented with impaired consciousness, requiring mechanical ventilation and vasopressor support, with one also experiencing status epilepticus.
Electrocardiographic parameters of chemically immobilized giant anteaters (Myrmecophaga tridactyla).
Vet Res Commun

Department of Veterinary Clinics, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, São Paulo State University, Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil.
The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla) is a vulnerable species that is threatened mostly due to anthropogenic pressure. The anteater is a highly specialized insectivore, challenging the species' ex situ maintenance and conservation efforts. Several dietary-associated health issues have been reported in captive anteaters, including heart conditions such as dilated cardiomyopathy.

Center for Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Epidemiology and Translational Medicine, Guoke Ningbo Life Science and Health Industry Research Institute, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China.
Background: The interrupted technique of left bundle branch pacing (LBBP) limits the continuous monitoring of paced electrocardiogram and intracardiac electrogram (EGM) transitions, which may result in overlooked or misinterpreted subtle transitions.
Objectives: This study aimed to explore the electrophysiological characteristics of lead position-dependent EGM continuous transitions to evaluate lead depth and to investigate the clinical significance of transseptal pacing modalities.
Methods: A continuous pacing and recording technique enabled by a rotatable connector was used to allow the real-time monitoring of progressive changes in paced EGM and electrocardiographic morphology.
