[A method of computer-assisted evaluation of programmed single stimulation for determination of sinoatrial conduction...

The determination of the sino-atrial conduction time by means of premature individual atrial stimulation is an important partial function in the intracardial sino-atrial functional test and a reasonable parameter in selected diagnostic questions for the clarification of syncopic conditions under suspicion of a sick-sinus syndrome. In order to alleviate the clinical use and to reduce the considerable expenditure of time in the calculation of the results for the determination of the sino-atrial conduction time by about 60% a computerized evaluation method was elaborated. This methodology resulted in an exoneration from the manual graphic-calculatory expenditure and in comparison to the traditional calculation method it did not show any statistically significant differences.
