Medical - Medical: Instruments | | English term or phrase: EGM | Context: clinical trial with an implantable defibrillator designed to reduce the rate of inappropriate shocks.
"The [name] Clinical Study will utilize an Episode Review Committee to evaluate spontaneous sustained ventricular episodes. Spontaneous ventricular episodes in the device episode log with EGM will be reviewed by the Episode Review Committee and inappropriate shocks will be identified based on adjudicated rhythm truth and the device episode log information.
What does EGM stand for in English and what's the German equivalent? |

Seems to be the abbreviation of "electrogram"

Figure 1.
(A) An example of inappropriate detection as experienced by patient 14. Shown are the intracardiac atrial, ventricular and shock electrograms (EGM) as well as the marker channel. The atrial EGM shows an irregular atrial tachycardia. The paper speed is 25 mm/s. The ventricular rate was initially irregular (not shown) but then stabilized at a rate of 125 beats per minute (bpm) (480 ms). Note the double potentials (small and large arrows) on the ventricular EGM signifying right and left ventricular activation. As each ventricular event was double counted, VF was detected by the device at a rate of 250 bpm (2 × 125) (240 ms) as this rate exceeded the cutoff rate for VF of 220 bpm (273 ms). (B) A 23 Joule shock is delivered as a result of inappropriate detection of VF which actually terminates the atrial tachycardia. Following therapy, postshock pacing commences at a rate of 80 bpm (750 ms). The panels are continuous and the paper speed and the abbreviations are the same as in 1A.
