106.5 mm; weight: 120 g῍. In use, hold cardiophone in the right hand, place the probe’s
electrodes to a point close to the heart, push
button, record an electrocardiogram, and
make a phone call to the host computer at the
hospital with the acoustic coupler held to
transmission part of the phone, which stores
the electrocardiogram and print it as soon as
the computer receives the electrocardiogram
over the phone.

Abstract
Portable Transtelephonic Electrograph Identified
the Underlying Cause of Atrial Fibrillation
Hiromitsu Sekizuka1, Naoki Matsumoto2, Yukako Ishikawa1, Kihei Yoneyama1,
Satoshi Nishio1, Yoshiyuki Watanabe1, Shounosuke Ryu1, Keizou Osada1,
Ryouji Kishi1, Emi Nakano3, Hisao Matsuda3, Tomoo Harada3,
and Fumihiko Miyake1
A 45-year-old male felt faint while driving around 10:00 o[clock on October 12; after that, he su#ered
from palpitation. He was diagnosed as having atrial fibrillation ῌAF῍ from the results of 12-lead electrocardiography performed at the clinic near his house. He was referred to our hospital. From October 15, the
patient started to use portable transtelephonic electrograph ῌPTE῍. On the same day, PTE recorded and
transmitted the electrocardiograms several times due to palpitation occurring before sleep. After he was
relieved from approximately 30-minute palpitation, he went to sleep. PTE showed prolonged QRS duration
during palpitation. He had no history of syncope. However, he felt faint while driving. Accordingly, he was
suspected as having ventricular tachycardia ῌVT῍ and was admitted to our hospital for electrophysiological
study ῌEPS῍. On October 25, EPS induced sustained VT. On October 30, the dual chamber implantable
cardioverter defibrillator ῌICD῍ was implanted. At this point, the relationship between AF and VT was not
fully clarified. After admission, ICD was frequently used due to VT. The intracardiac electrocardiograms
showed greater intraventricular conduction shortening with increased pacing output. PTE, which was
recorded at the same time, demonstrated the onset of AF after nonsustained VT. We concluded that a
shorter intraventricular conduction time with increased pacing output triggered AF.
