Effect of physiological mechanical perturbations on intact human myocardial repolarization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between acute decreases in right ventricular volume during Valsalva strain (with resultant changes in autonomic neural tone) and measures of local endocardial repolarization time independent of heart rate and autonomic neural tone. METHODS: Patients implanted with a stimulus to T wave (Stim-T) sensing pacemaker specially adapted to output a validate measure of beat to beat local repolarization (n = 9) performed Valsalva manoeuvers (40 mmHg for 15 s) while paced at a cycle length of 500 ms. Stim-T intervals were measured before and after autonomic blockade (Block: 0.03 mg/kg i.v. atropine +/- 0.15 mg/kg propranolol). Right ventricular end diastolic volume was estimated by simultaneous 2D-echocardiography. RESULTS: Without autonomic blockade, compared to baseline, repolarization significantly prolonged during Valsalva strain (1.1 +/- 0.7%) and shortened during release (-1.4 +/- 1.0%). After block, strain related repolarization prolongation was also observed (1.0 +/- 0.6%), with significantly less release related repolarization shortening (-0.8 +/- 0.8%) compared to pre-block (P < 0.05). Right ventricular end diastolic volume decreased during strain by 11 +/- 10 and 9 +/- 16% from baseline, pre- and post-block respectively (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In a chronically instrumented human model, an acute physiologic volume reduction modestly prolongs right ventricular repolarization independent of changes in rate or autonomic tone.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
