| Abstract | Subthreshold stimulation without capture reduces the stimulation threshold and changes the action potential of subsequent suprathreshold stimulation (Wedensky modulation). To investigate this phenomenon after transthoracic subthreshold stimulation, 2 ms pulse of 5-40 mA between surface precordial and subscapular patches were delivered synchronously with or 20 ms after R wave detection. A total of 60 to 200 subthreshold stimulated QRS complexes were averaged and compared with averaged non-stimulated complexes recorded during the same experimental session. Vector magnitude wavelet decompositions (53 scales of central frequencies 40-250 Hz) were obtained for both stimulated and non-stimulated complexes and their difference characterized the Wedensky modulation numerically. The surface area of the 3D envelope of the wavelet residuum was measured and was statistically compared in the VT pts and healthy controls. The test was performed in 47 pts with EP inducible VT (aged 63/spl plusmn/13 yrs, 83% male) and in 3D healthy controls (aged 44/spl plusmn/16 yrs, 60% male). The residuum showed an increase in the spectral power of the stimulated complex that was significantly more marked in healthy volunteers (p<0.01) than in VT patients. The study demonstrated that: (1) wavelet decomposition of signal averaged ECG is a suitable tool to analyze Wedensky modulation, (2) Wedensky modulation in the late QRS complex is short, and (3) that VT patients are less sensitive to the Wedensky modulation especially at very low subthreshold energies. |

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.
