Abstract:
The analysis of some EKT lines evolution obtained by some investigations on the organovegetative reactivity carried out in the Laboratory of physiology correlated with the different experimental stages led to the formulation of some original cardiotachographic (KTG) parameters which seem to have a peculiar usefulness within the framework of the investigation methods. Except for the routine KTG parameters under the form of instantaneous cardiac rhythm (ICR) and mean cardiac rhythm (MCR) another 5 indices can now be used: 1) frequency of the rhythm fluctuations (FRF); 2) vegetative lability index (VLI); 3) mean rhythm fluctuation (MRF); 4) latency of rhythm fluctuation (LRF) and 5) amplitude of rhythm fluctuation (ARF). Their introduction as part of the investigation methods for the neurovegetative system would permit a better outline both of the relative relationship. between the component parts of the reactive system (normotonic or distonic) and its receptivity and promptitute to the different neurohumoral or somato-viscero-motor interferences.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic tool for identifying cardiac conditions such as arrhythmias, conduction abnormalities, and myocardial ischemia.
Definition
An electrocardiogram (ECG) visualizes the heart's electrical activity by tracing the electrical movement associated with each heartbeat on a graph or monitor. As the heart beats, an electrical wave passes through it, correlating with the cardiac cycle events.

The cardiac action potential process involves a series of phases characterized by the movement of ions across the cardiac cell membranes, leading to the depolarization and repolarization of the cardiac myocytes.

01:25Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...
