I asked the cardiologist why an electrocardiogram was called an EKG, instead of an ECG. He said, "Nazis. Nazis invented the machine." After he left, I found a napkin on my breakfast tray and wrote that down: EKG = Nazis.

Bebeorh þé ðone bealo-níð, Béowulf léofa, secg betsta, ond þé þæt sélre gecéos, éce rǽdas; ofer-hýda ne gým, mǽre cempa! Nú is þines mægnes blǽd áne hwíle; eft sóna bið þæt þec ádl oððe ecg eafoþes getwǽfeð, oððe fýres feng oððe flódes wylm oððe gripe méces oððe gáres fliht oððe atol yldo, oððe éagena bearhtm forsiteð ond forsworceð; semninga bið, þæt ðec, dryht-guma, déað oferswýðeð. O flower of warriors, beware of that trap. Choose, dear Béowulf, the better part, eternal rewards. Do not give way to pride. For a brief while your strength is in bloom but it fades quickly; and soon there will follow illness or the sword to lay you low, or a sudden fire or a surge of water or jabbing blade or javelin from the air or repellent age. Your piercing eye will dim and darken; and death will arrive, dear warrior, to sweep you away.

Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because a straight line even in an E.C.G. means we are not alive.” — Ratan Tata

Blood pressure readings are an inexact technique, like ECG interpretation, X-ray interpretation, pain scores, and many other measurements that are routinely used in clinical trials. I

It snowed for several days in a row. When it finally let up, I sidled over to the side of the warehouse where I had a clear view of the hospital’s front entrance. It was the first sunny day in a while, yet Satoru didn’t appear on the terrace. When the sun began to set, Noriko oulled up in the silver van. Her face looked pale, her hair dishevelled. I pattered up to her, but she said simply, ‘Sorry, Nana. You’ll have to wait,’ and walked swiftly inside. ……. Noriko elbowed her way through them to Sat’s side. ‘Satoru, it’s Nana!’ Satoru’s closed eyelids quivered. As if fighting against gravity, they slowly lifted. Unable to move his head, his eyes searched from side to side. Noriko clasped Satoru’s hand and placed it gently on top of Nana’s small head. Satoru’s lips moved faintly. She thought she heard him say, ‘Thank you.’ The ECG screen flat-lined. Nana nuzzled the top of his head up and down against Satoru’s lifeless hand.

3.5 A 45-year-old woman is noted to have dizziness, pounding of the chest, and fatigue of 3 hours’ duration. On examination, she is noted to have a blood pressure (BP) of 110/70 mm Hg and heart rate of 180 bpm. She is noted on ECG to have atrial fibrillation, and a prior baseline ECG showed delta waves. The ER physician counsels the patient regarding cardioversion, but the patient declines. Which of the following is the best therapy for her condition? A. Digoxin B. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor C. Calcium channel blocker D. Procainamide

have to wait for hours in the admitting room when you come in at night. They’ve learned that problem cases will be seen by five different specialists, that they’ll get a real ECG and a pile of lab results, and even get X-rayed as a bonus—all within an hour or two of walking in the door. In private practice, such a rigorous battery of tests would take several stressful weeks, dozens of annoying phone calls, and countless hours reading dull magazines

Diagnostic ECG: Progressive changes include tall, thin T waves; prolonged PR interval; ST depression; widened QRS; and loss of P wave. Eventually, QRS widens further (sine wave) and cardiac arrest occurs (see

La terapia della sindrome da Qt lungo è farmacologica e in alcuni casi chirurgica (gangliectomia cardiaca), ma diagnosticarla in tempo è fondamentale per evitare la morte improvvisa. Umberto Veronesi, quando era ministro della Salute, aveva proposto di introdurre un Ecg obbligatorio su tutti i neonati per individuare o escludere questa patologia, ma la durata della legislatura no gli permise di varare la legge. Il suo messaggio però è stato recepito, e oggi sono molti gli ospedali in Italia che fanno l'elettrocardiogramma a tutti i nuovi nati, e il nostro auspicio è che anche i medici sportivi approfondiscano con attenzione le poche malattie cardiache che comportano sintomi quali svenimenti o palpitazioni durante l'attività sportiva, per non farsi sfuggire il rischio di arresto cardiaco, come accaduto per esempio al calciatore Davide Astori, e che valutino sempre la possibilità della sindrome del Qt lungo, per individuare in tempo tale temibile patologia ed evitare appunto molte morti evitabili. Ps: il 95% dei casi di morte improvvisa di giovani atleti nello sport sono legati al cuore, e ogni anno in Italia più di mille persone sotto i trent'anni muoiono di arresto cardiaco imprevisto, e il decesso avviene sempre in individui apparentemente sani, come prima manifestazione di una patologia del cuore sottostante mai diagnosticata.

For years, we knew the double-storey at the bottom of Albermarle Street as the Gandhi House. In the decade before the Great War, we'd been told, Gandhi lived here with his family. Now the house has lost its claim on history 9but not its plaque from the National Monuments Council). An enterprising researcher, with nothing to gain by his unmasking except the truth, has shown that Gandhi did not live here after all, but up the road at No. 11. One of Gandhi's descendants, who visited the house as a child, has provided confirmation. The people at No. 11 should have that plaque moved to their wall. Both the Gandhi Houses, the true and the false, are double-storeys set on a promontory between two thoroughfares, but the attitudes of the streets could not differ more. Hillier and Albermarle Streets approach the impostor rather Kindly, cupping it in leafy palms, whereas Albermarle and Johannes grip the genuine article like an egg in a nutcracker. No. 11 has a handsome corrugated-iron roof and a wide, shady balcony. I recall an orante wrought-iron finial, the ECG of a Victorian heartbeat, dancing along the roof ridge, but it must have been removed by the renovators. I cannot remember ever seeing a person on the balcony, perfectly suited though it is to reading the paper or chatting over sundowners, but for a few years there were shop-window mannequins leaning on the parapet. Perhaps they were scarecrows for thieves? At night, with the lighted windows behind them, they always deceived the eye. Something in the atmosphere, a bit of lace around the neck, a reddish tinge of the light from the doorway, made them look like whores. Apparently, the Mahatma used to take his rest on the balcony on summer nights. It is easy to picture him there with sleep in his eyes, buffing his little round glasses on the hem of a bed sheet.

Rachel watches Zachariah and often, quite regularly, her heart skips a beat. If you map the ECG of the heart in phase space, its strange attractor resembles a spider. When Lev tutors Rachel in the principles of complexity, he has a dream of determinism, immanence. Through chaos, he shapes her. Through it he owns her. . . . When he teaches her to love the principles of complexity and see patterns in everything, the strange attractor that is Rachel and Zachariah is not what he had in mind; it is not a phase space he ever imagined.

SAMPLING OF SOME OF THE MAJOR TRIAL RESULTS WITH EDTA CHELATION A 1993analysis of 19 studies of 22,765 patients receiving EDTA chelation therapy for vascular disease found measurable improvement in 87%. A study of 2,870 patients with various degrees of degenerative diseases, especially vascular disease, almost 90% of the patients showed excellent improvement. The study measured walking distance, ECG, and Doppler blood flow changes. A small, blinded, crossover study of patients with peripheral vascular disease found significant improvements in walking distance and ankle/brachial blood flow. In 30 patients with carotid artery stenosis, there was a 30% improvement in blood flow after EDTA treatment. EDTA chelation treatment was evaluated in patients with carotid and coronary disease using technetium 99 isotope techniques. Significant improvement in arterial blood flow and ejection fraction (a measure of heart pumping ability) was reported. 65 patients on the waiting list for CABG surgery for an average of 6 months were treated with EDTA chelation therapy. The symptoms in 89% (58) improved so much they were able to cancel their surgery. In the same study, of 27 patients recommended for limb amputation due to poor peripheral circulation, EDTA chelation saved 24 limbs.
