Characterizes ECG changes in hypothermic animal models; leaves open translation to human therapeutic hypothermia.
What are the electrocardiographic changes observed in experimental animals at various stages of cooling?
Hypothermia induces characteristic electrocardiographic changes including progressive bradycardia, interval prolongations, and a pathognomonic J deflection.
Wynne et al. (1960) studied Hypothermia. Hypothermia was evaluated on Electrocardiographic changes. Experimental hypothermia in animals induces characteristic electrocardiographic changes including progressive bradycardia, prolongation of the P-R, QRS, and Q-T intervals, and J deflections.
