| Abstract | A wealth of knowledge is available about the effect of diabetes on the heart but very little has been done to quantify the conduction velocity of the diabetic heart. This study intends to develop a technique for tracking the cardiac wavefront across the heart in order to achieve the total activation time as well as the conduction velocity of the heart at any point during its activation, to compare the newly determined activation times with previously determined activation times, and to also compute the average conduction velocity of the heart from diabetic and control rats. The technique developed for tracking the action potential wavefront across the heart extracts the wavefront and provides the activation time as well as the conduction velocity – both instantaneous and average – successfully. The method reproduces previously measured activation times well, with a correlation of $R^{2}$ = 3D 0.875, which suggests that this technique is reliable and that its determination of conduction velocity will allow for the examination of healthy and diseased hearts using a new criterion. In addition, the method for determining the conduction velocity of the heart allows direct comparison of the baseline conduction velocity in control and diabetic hearts. The results of this comparison indicated that conduction velocity in the diabetic hearts is slower (0.47 ± 0.02 m/s) than in control hearts (0.55 ± 0.02 m/s) (p = 3D 0.001). |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
