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.
How do ECG leads work to measure the electrical activity of the heart?
ECG leads are electrodes placed on the skin that detect the electrical signals produced by the heart. These signals are then amplified and recorded by the ECG machine, which creates a visual representation of the heart's electrical activity on a graph.
What do two T waves on an ECG indicate about the heart's electrical activity?
Two T waves on an ECG indicate that the heart's electrical activity is normal and functioning properly.
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
What are the common methods used to perform an ECG test, and how does a non-wave ECG differ from traditional ECG readings?
Common methods used to perform an ECG test include placing electrodes on the chest, arms, and legs to measure the heart's electrical activity. A non-wave ECG differs from traditional ECG readings by focusing on the overall shape and pattern of the heart's electrical signals rather than just the individual waves.
What are the key differences between an ECG reading for atrial fibrillation (AFib) and a normal ECG reading?
In an ECG reading for atrial fibrillation (AFib), there will be irregular and rapid electrical signals in the atria, leading to a chaotic heart rhythm. This is shown as erratic waves on the ECG tracing. In a normal ECG reading, the heart's electrical signals follow a regular pattern, resulting in a steady and organized heart rhythm with distinct waves on the ECG tracing.
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.
