What does a flat line indicate?
A flat line typically indicates a state of no electrical activity, often seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG) or similar monitoring device. In medical contexts, this can signify cardiac arrest or death, as it reflects the absence of heartbeats. In other contexts, such as data analysis, a flat line may represent a lack of change or activity over time.
What is the isoelectric line of the ECG?
An isoelectric line on the electrocardiograph is the base line on an electrocardiogram.
What is one of the lines that makes a flat shape called?
A line segment
A line which has a slope of 0 is?
A constant, a flat line
What line is perfectly flat and level?
A straight line.
What is the flat horizontal line that separates the various waves of the ECG cycle?
its a flat horizontal line separator....
What does a straight line on an ECG represent?
A flat section of line indicates no muscular activity in the heart at that particular instant; a constantly flat line indicates heart failure.
What is a flat line on the ECG tracing of one of the leads is typically caused by?
A loose or disconnected wire.
What is polarization in the electrocardiogram?
Polarization in an electrocardiogram (ECG) refers to the resting state of the heart's electrical activity, when no electrical impulses are being generated. This is represented by the flat line (isoelectric line) between heartbeats on the ECG tracing.
What is the medical term meaning flat line?
A flat line in cardiology is called asystole.
What is the machine called when your flat lined?
The machine I believe you are referring to is called a "heart monitor" or ECG/EKG (Electro-Cardiogram) monitor and the medical term for "flat lined" is asystole (A-sis-tool-lee).

What irregularity on a ECG would be considered the most severe?
Asystole, AKA "flat line" indicating no electrical conduction within the heart which means the heart if no longer beating.
What is the isoelectric line of the ECG?
An isoelectric line on the electrocardiograph is the base line on an electrocardiogram.
What is baseline in ECG?
Baseline in an ECG refers to the flat line that represents the absence of electrical activity in the heart. It serves as a reference point for the peaks and valleys of the ECG waveform. Any deviation from the baseline may indicate abnormal electrical activity in the heart.
How do you if the ECG machine is working correctly?
It can be tested with something called an ecg simulator.
What term is used to describe the horizontal part of a tracing on an ECG and what does this line indicate?
The horizontal part of a tracing on an ECG is called the baseline. It represents the period when the heart is not actively depolarizing or repolarizing, showing the electrical activity at rest.
