Electrocardiography in a Radiation Environment by The use of Telemetry.

Abstract

Electrocardiography using an implantable radiation hardened transmitter is described. This telemetry system allows an investigator to record the electrocardiogram (ECG) of unrestrained animals in a radiation environment. The transmitter and its use in an intense radiation field are described. The selection of electrode placement, surgical implantation of the transmitter, and the transmission and reception of a signal representative of the electrical activity of the heart from which an ECG recording is made are discussed.
