What's the difference between cardiograph and cardiosphygmograph?
Cardiograph
Definition:
(n.) An instrument which, when placed in contact with the chest, will register graphically the comparative duration and intensity of the heart's movements.
Example Sentences:
(1) Serial cardiographic studies and determinations of blood imipramine concentrations showed that the heart block was directly related to the plasma concentration of the drug and occurred below the atrioventricular node in the His-Purkinje system.
(2) A Marquette Augmented Cardiograph was used to obtain 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECGs) at baseline and at 3, 10, and 25 minutes after ingestion of 200 or 400 ml ice water.
(3) Apex-carotid diagram (ACD) is a new mechanic-cardiographic method, consisting in integration of carotis-sphygmogram and apex-cardiogram in one diagram.
(4) Several electrical impedance cardiographic and mechanocardiographic methods for assessing left ventricular ejection time (LVET) were compared with the aortic valve LVET echogram to determine whether values from an impedance method allow an exact measurement of LVET.
(5) On volunteers without heart diseases the cardiac output according to the Fick principle, the impedance-cardiographic and sphygmographic method at rest and under pharmacological influence is synchronously measured and statistically compared with the found cardiac output according to Fick.
(6) The thoracic impedance was measured with the Minnesota Impedance Cardiograph Model 304A and the impedance was considered as an expression of the thoracic fluid volume.
(7) Considering the typical course of the complication, the relatively late onset of cyanosis or its increase in heart diseases with primary right-to-left shunt, the X-ray pictures of the thorax depicting a drastic fall of pulmonary flow, and most of all the angio-cardiographic clues for the presence of an intravasal thrombus, it appears, that the correct diagnosis could be made early enough to permit life saving surgery.
(8) The object of this study was to identify vector-cardiographic parameters (VCG) dependant on the size of myocardial infarction and its consequences on segmental left ventricular wall motion.
(9) Colour-coded Doppler echocardiography (Colour Flow Imaging) is a new noninvasive method that offers new perspectives in the cardiographical diagnosis of cardiac defects with regard to diagnostic safety, easily interpreted manner of presentation, and in coping with the complexities of cardiac blood flow.
(10) The characteristic ultrasono-cardiographic (UCG) findings of prolapsed mitral valve were studied in 9 cases by means of ultrasonocardiotomography (UCT).
(11) Cardiographic reflections of fetal movements were assessed using cardiogram synchronous ultrasonic examination in 44 normotrophic and 40 hypotrophic fetuses with body weights less than or equal to 10th percentile.
(12) In a series of studies, cardiac activity, assessed with an impedance cardiograph, was monitored as college students performed either a visual search or pursuit rotor task.
(13) The degree of fetal respiratory and body movements as well as of fetal heart rate reactivity was checked by synchronous ultrasonic and cardiographic monitoring of 18 normotrophic fetuses in the early and late dilation period.
(14) The course includes cardiopulmonary resuscitation, mechanical ventilation, endotracheal intubation, intravenous cannulation, interpretation of certain electro-cardiographic dysrhythmias, synchronized cardioversion, defibrillation and the use of intravenous vasopressors, cardiotonics, and antiarhythmics.
(15) Further data must be obtained by different cardiographic techniques in order to obtain a solid basis for the use of indirect methods, where the electrical model would be helpful as a noninvasive integrative tool in the assessment of the cardiovascular function.
(16) This study used high speed recordings of the electrocardiogram to investigate the cardiographic effects of phenelzine and mianserin and to compare these to the effects of imipramine, amitriptyline, and placebo.
(17) Correlative analysis has also shown several important relationships between rheographic-cardiographic and polycardiographic parameters, which may facilitate the assessment of heart failure.
(18) In our study we measured stroke-volume and cardiac output during and after Ethrane anaesthesia using the IFM-Minnesota Impedance Cardiograph 304 A.
(19) It may be concluded that in order to assure maximal reproducibility, technical characteristics of the apex cardiograph transducer should be taken into account and an optimal recording technique should be used.
(20) Stroke volume (SV), heart rate (HR), and cardiac output (Q) were determined continuously during the exercise by using an automated impedance cardiograph.
Cardiosphygmograph
Definition:
(n.) A combination of cardiograph and sphygmograph.
