To train cardiac consultants who interpret electrocardiogram rhythm strips from the field, we designed a series of prerecorded telemetered rhythms and discussions which can be sent into telemetry consoles. The patterns represent cardiac arrhythmias (eg, ventricular tachycardia, complete heart block, etc)...
Critical Care Norses' Knowledge of Cardiac Rhythm Strips by Marlene RN, BSN, CCRN Dr. Susan Kowalski, Examination Committee Chair Professor of Nursing University of Nevada, Las Vegas Competency testing of nurses in relevant areas is a somewhat new concept. This concept stems, in part, from the...
8. A nurse is watching the cardiac monitor, and a client’s rhythm suddenly changes. There are no P waves; instead there are wavy lines. The QRS complexes measure 0.08 second, but they are irregular, with a rate of 120 beats a minute. The nurse interprets this rhythm as: Sinus tachyca...

The mechanisms involved in tissue recovery and rhythm recurrence could be further studied using techniques such as RNA-seq. This should accelerate the development of more efficient therapies for cardiac arrhythmias. In this study, 3D-bioprinted cardiac disks were integrated with soft-pressure sensors ...
The identification and appropriate management of patients at risk of suffering from acute chest pain (ACP) in prehospital care are not straightforward. This task could benefit, as occurs in emergency departments (EDs), from cardiac enzyme assessment. The
