Atherosclerosis: an update.

abstract：:The detection of premature ectopic beats coinciding with the T-wave of the antecedent beat is important for patient monitoring. In the method described here, the difficulties of direct measurement of QT time are avoided by evaluating the changes of QT time according to heart rate by use of a diode function generator. ...
