Abstract
Increasingly, cardiologic jargon is encroaching on gynecologic nomenclature. Terminology now includes reference to various forms of version ranging from electroversion to cardioversion and now thump-version. This latest measure dispenses with gadgets and uses immediately available mechanical energy to terminate life-threatening arrhythmia. Effectiveness of the maneuver is due to conversion of the mechanical input into an appropriate electrical pulse.Mechanoelectrical transduction plays an integral part in biologic homeostasis. Muscle-stretch spindles, the vestibular organ and baroreceptors in the great vessels depend on this mechanism to form complex feedback loops for sustaining regulation. The basis for transduction of mechanical energy into propagated electrical . . .
