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 is ECG or EKG?
ECG and EKG are the same used to map the electrical activity of heart
What is the difference between an MRI and a EEG?
Both measure electrical activity -- the ECG in the heart and the EEG in the brain.An EEG is an electroencephalogram and an ECG also known as an EKG is an electrocardiogram. An EEG records brainwave/electrical activity. An ECG records the electrical activity that the heart produces.
What does the ECG tell us?
An ECG (Electrocardiogram) tells us how the electrical activity of the heart is working.
What does ECG measure?
The electrical activity of the heart.
Application of ecg?
An ECG is an electrocardiography. It is used to detect and record the electrical impulses of the heart. An ECG is non-invasive and may be used as a diagnostic tool to detect abnormalities.
What is ecg machine?
An ECG or EKG machine is a machine that allows the heart to be studied.The machine records the electrical activity with in the heart.ECG means Electyocardiograph
Does the ECG record the electrical stimulation of cardiac muscle by conduction system?
Yes, an ECG records the electrical activity produced by the heart as it contracts and relaxes. This includes the electrical stimulation of the cardiac muscle by the conduction system, such as the SA node, AV node, and Purkinje fibers.
What is the difference between ecg and echo?
An ECG or EKG is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart. An echocardiogram is an ultrasound recording of the heart and its blood flow.
What is vector on an ecg?
A vector on an ECG represents the direction and magnitude of electrical activity within the heart at a specific moment. It is used to visualize the overall electrical activity of the heart, helping to identify abnormalities in rhythm or conduction. By analyzing the vectors on an ECG, healthcare providers can assess the health and function of the heart.
What pattern will show on ecg after sudden cardiac arrest?
Abnormal electrical patterns
Why are the waves in the same direction in an ECG?
The wave direction indicated whether the electrical impulse from the heart is going towards or away from the ECG lead that is being studied.
Does ecg hurt?
No, an electrocardiogram (ECG) is a painless test that involves placing electrodes on your skin to measure the electrical activity of your heart. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure.
