Scientists Develop Ways of Detecting Heart Attack
German researchers have come up with a new generation of defibrillators (除顫器) and early-warning software aimed at offering heart patients greater ____ (51)____ from sudden death from cardiac arrest (心臟停搏).
In Germany alone, around 100,000 people die annually ____ (52) ____ a result of cardiac arrest and many of these cases are caused by disruption to the heart’s rhythm.
Those most at ____ (53) ____ are patients who have already suffered a heart attack, and for years the use of defibrillators has proved useful in ____(54)____ life-threatening disruptions to heart rhythms and correcting them automatically by intervening within seconds. These devices ____(55)____ on a range of functions, such as that of pacemaker (起搏器).
Heart specialists at Freiburg's University Clinic have now achieved a breakthrough with an implanted defibrillator ____ (56) ____ of generating a six-channel electrocardiogram (ECG, 心電圖) within the body. This integrated system allows ____ (57) ____ diagnosis of severe blood-flow problems and a pending(即將發(fā)生的) heart attack. It will be implanted in ____ (58) ____ for the first time this year. Meanwhile, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Mathematics in Kaiserslautern have developed new computer software that ____ (59) ____ the evaluation of ECG data more precise.
The overwhelming majority of patients at risk will not have an implanted defibrillator and must for this ____ (60) ____ undergo regular ECGs. “Many of the current programs only take into ____ (61) ____ a linear correlation of the data. We are, however, making use of a non-linear process ____ (62) ____ reveals the chaotic patterns of heart beats as an open and complex system,” Hagen Knaf says. “In this way changes in the heart ____ (63) ____ over time can be monitored and individual variations in patients taken into account.” An old study of ECG data, based upon 600 patients who had ____ (64) ____ a subsequent heart attack, enabled the researchers to compare risks and to show that the new software evaluates the ____ (65) ____ considerably better.
