Abstract:
8 patients (male/female: 1) with ages of 18-63 diagnosed as arrhythmias but not classify the type of arrhythmias who received the transesophageal electrocardiogram. The results have shown that the transesophageal electrocardiogram increased the umplitude and displayed clearly the atriogram which help determined diagnosing, especially differentially diagnosing the ventricular and supraventricular tachycardiac. This was a simple technique that can be applied in the local levels to diagnose some arrhythmias
