Hickey, Linda (1990) Simultaneous ambulatory cardial and oesophageal monitoring. Master of Engineering thesis, Dublin City University.
Abstract
A method for recording and analyzing patient signals is described. The electrocardiogram and the pH in the lower oesophagus are simultaneously monitored over a 24 hour period. Signals are recorded onto cassette tape for later analysis.
The pH record is analyzed for reflux episodes which are correlated with patient symptoms. The corresponding ECG episodes are checked for ischemia which appears as depression of the ST segment.
