ガーデイアン:ケリー胸の電極パッド続報なれど:わが24時間心電図経験と照らし不正確。
見出しと本文が矛盾。イギリスも日本もアメリカも、大手メディアは、似たようなものである。だから私は、10年以上も前から、「歪んだ曇りガラス越し」の情報収集と言っている。
見出しは「科学者は最近心臓検査を受けた」と断定的表現であるが、本文は、「もし」で始まり、検査を受けたことがあるとはなっていない。
検査を受けていれば、その検査をした医者や医院、看護人、検査技師などが、これまで沈黙しているはずがない。
家族も知っていたはずである。

Scientist had recent heart test

Four electrode pads found on David Kelly's chest are likely to have been used to monitor his heart with a portable device called a Holter monitor.
At the opening of yesterday's inquiry Lord Hutton described the outcome of the postmortem examination on Dr Kelly's body carried out by Nicholas Hunt, a Home Office pathologist. He repeated what is already known - that the main factor in Dr Kelly's death was bleeding from an incised wound to his left wrist.
But Dr Hunt said Dr Kelly had a significant degree of coronary artery disease and that four electro-cardiogram pads were found on his chest.
If Dr Kelly was wearing a Holter monitor, the electrodes would have been linked by wires to a small battery-operated recorder, which can be worn hooked to a belt or slung from a strap.
Usually worn for 24 hours, the device detects and records arrhythmias - abnormal heart rates. The test is usually not the first step in investigating problems.
If a doctor suspects a patient has an arrhythmia, he or she will normally arrange for an electrocardiogram (ECG) in a hospital, during which electrodes are stuck to the patient's limbs and chest then linked to a machine to record cardiac rhythm and electrical activity. An ECG can detect problems with the rhythm and show if the patient has had a recent heart attack. It can tell if the patient's heart is enlarged.
If the heart disturbances come and go at irregular times, it may be necessary for a patient to be fitted with a Holter monitor, during which the patient keeps a diary to record daily activities and any symptoms experienced.
The testing helps the doctor evaluate the type and amount of irregular heartbeats during regular activities, exercise and sleep.
Checking against the diary, the doctor can correlate symptoms such as dizziness, palpitations or shortness of breath with rhythms recorded by the monitor.
