Ischemia
ECG LEADs
y Tracking of voltage difference at any two
sites due to electrical activity of the heart is
called as “LEAD”.
y Bipolar Leads
y Unipolar leads
(a) Action potentials recorded from normal (solid lines) and
ischemic (dashed lines) myocardium in a dog. Control is before
coronary occlusion. (b) During the control period prior to
coronary occlusion, there is no ECG S-T segment shift; after
ischemia, there is such a shift.

Unipolar Limb Leads
y Two of the limb leads are tied together and recorded with respect
to the third limb.
y AVR Lead : RA is recorded with respect to the common junction
of the LA and LL .
y AVL Lead : LA is recorded with respect to the common junction
of the RA and LL.
y AVF Lead: LL is recorded with respect to the two arm electrodes
tied together.
y The resistances inserted between the electrodes-machine
connections are known as ‘averaging resistances’.

Electrocardiograph (ECG)
Electrocardiograph (ECG)
y ECG is an instrument which records electrical activity of heart
y Provides valuable information about a wide range of cardiac disorders
y Used in catheterization labs, coronary care units and routine diagnostic
applications in cardiology
y Frequency response=0.05 to 150 Hz
y Should faithfully reproduce the signal in the range
y Good low freq response to ensure stability of baseline
y Isolation from other biological signals (differential amplifiers and notch
filters)
y Overcome limitations of recorders

Angiogram
What is Angiogram?
y The radiologic examination of vessels after the
introduction of a contrast medium.
y It is an imaging test that uses x-rays to produce the road
map of body’s blood vessels.
y Physicians often use this test to study narrow, blocked,
enlarged, or malformed arteries or veins in many parts of
your body, including your brain, heart, abdomen, and legs.
y When the arteries are studied, the test is also called an
arteriogram, if the veins are studied, it is called a venogram

Angiogram
Hand Arteriogram How is the procedure done?
y During this procedure also known as
coronary angiography, the patient is
positioned on an x-ray table.
y Depending on the condition of the
arteries, either the under arm or groin
area will be disinfected and then numbed
with an anesthetic.
y A long, narrow tube (catheter) is then
inserted into a large artery (in either the
upper leg or upper arm) and gently
threaded up into the coronary arteries
around the heart muscle.

Angiogram Angiogram
y A special type of dye that is visible on x-rays is then
released from the catheter and the x-rays are then taken
of the heart and surrounding vessels.
y The doctor will review the x-rays taken during the
angiogram to pinpoint the location and severity of any
narrowing or blockages within the coronary arteries.
y If a blockage is found, the doctor can then determine the
best way to remove the blockage material or dilate
(widen) the narrowed blood vessel(s)

Kidney Dialysis
Intravascular Stents Dialysis comes from two Greek words namely ‘Dia”
and “Lysis” meaning splitting or separating materials
through a membrane
What is a Dialysis??
Dialysis is a treatment which replaces the function of
the kidneys, which normally serve as the body's
natural filtration system. The treatment removes
waste products and excess fluids from the
bloodstream, while maintaining the proper chemical
balance of the blood.
