Oscillation Amplitude Sweep This test requires employing an increasing oscillatory stress or strain and observing the corresponding alterations in the elastic modulus (G'), or the elastic stress (σ') ...

Left ventricular hypertrophy can be diagnosed on ECG with good specificity. When the myocardium is hypertrophied, there is a larger mass of myocardium for electrical activation to pass through ...

This is referred to as p-pulmonale since lung disease can cause severe right heart strain and right atrial enlargement. Thus, the P wave height becomes larger.

In oscillatory tests the measuring system moves backwards and forwards at a set frequency and amplitude. The advantage of performing the test in such a way is that small strains are applied onto the ...
