What are the electrocardiographic changes during direct operations for pulmonary stenosis?
Continuous electrocardiographic monitoring during pulmonary valvotomy provides insights into intraoperative rhythm changes.
May inform ECG monitoring in pulmonary valvotomy; case report leaves open clinical utility pending larger studies.
When the operation of pulmonary valvotomy was started by Brock in 1948, one of the difficulties met was understanding the changes in the rhythm and action of the heart. It was thought that continuous electrocardiographic tracings might help in this way and so make it possible to lessen their incidence. Such tracings have generally been taken since then and in the present paper we wish to discuss the findings during 70 direct operations for pulmonary stenosis.
