An ECG finding suggestive of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the presence of ST-segment elevation in specific leads, indicating myocardial injury. Additionally, new T-wave inversions or the appearance of Q waves can also indicate a myocardial infarction. These changes reflect the loss of electrical activity in the affected heart muscle due to ischemia. Early recognition of these signs is crucial for timely intervention.
What else can I help you with?
What is the flat line on an ecg called?
isoelectric lines!
Why use P Q R S T on the ECG?
Willem Einthoven invented the ECG in 1903. The letters P Q R S T were assigned to the points on the ECG because it was thought that there may be more points in either direction to be found. The letters remained in use out of common practice even after it was determined there were no further points to be labelled.
What is the isoelectric line of the ECG?
An isoelectric line on the electrocardiograph is the base line on an electrocardiogram.
What confounding variables can interfere with an ECG?
jewlrey, medications, movement, lead placement, metal buttons,
What is atrial repolarization indicated by?
The atrial repolarization occurs during the QRS complex of the ECG but is obscured by the ventricle depolarization.
What does nil acute mean on a ecg result?
medically fit
Ecg findings in pulmonary embolism include?
S1Q3T3 is the classic finding but the EKG is usually nonspecific.
What does the result nil acute mean on an ECG test?
The result "nil acute" on an ECG test indicates that there are no signs of acute myocardial ischemia or infarction, meaning there are no immediate abnormalities that suggest a heart attack or other urgent cardiac issues. It suggests the heart's electrical activity appears normal at the time of the test. However, it is important to consider this result in conjunction with clinical symptoms and other diagnostic information. Always consult a healthcare professional for interpretation in the context of individual health.
Can a patient have MI without ECG changes but troponin positive after 20 hours CK was also elevated initially?
A significant portion of Acute Coronary Syndrome patients have few ECG changes. They are diagnosed based largely on positive enzymes and those aggressively treated early have much better outcomes.
What is the full form of ecg scan?
ECG stands for ElectroCardioGram
When does a person suffers from ECG?
Never. An ECG is a test, not an illness or disease.
An ECG provides imformation about what?
An ECG provides information about the wearer of the ECG's heartrate and rhythm of the heart. It provides information about wether it is normal or abnormal.
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is the?
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is called the P wave. The P wave is the first wave on the ECG.
Also known as an ECG or EKG?
Electrocardiogram is also known as ECG or EKG
How do you if the ECG machine is working correctly?
It can be tested with something called an ecg simulator.
What changes in the ECG might occur as a result of an acute heart attack?
ST segment elevation quite commonly occurs, but isn't a necessary requirement. Sometimes EKG changes are very subtle, or even nonexistent, initially.
What does myocardial ischemia look like on an ECG?
The ECG sign of subendocardial ischemia is ST segment depression. Note that ECG is used more now that EKG.
