Abnormal EKG results could be a sign of several conditions, including: Atrial fibrillation/flutter Heart attack(current or past) Heart failure Genetic heart defects Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) Sick sinus syndrome Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome ...
What does the QRS complex of an ECG represent? What are the different types of rhythms on an EKG exam? What does an electrocardiogram measure? a. Sound waves created by the closing of heart valves b. The volume of blood moving through the heart chambers c. The force of muscle contraction...
Abnormal rate or irregular heart rhythms: Abnormally fast heart rates: tachycardia = tachy (fast) + cardia (heart) Abnormally slow heart rhythms: bradycardia = brady (slow) + cardia (heart) Abnormal electrical conduction There are many examples including atrial fibrillation, heart block, premature...
Rhythms are often named according to the origin of the electrical activity in the heart or the structure where the problem is occurring. Wandering Atrial Pacemaker is aptly named due to the electrical impulses causing the atrial activity are moving or wandering. These ...
A slow elevation of K produces widespread block and depressed automaticity, and rapid infusions produce ventricular ectopic rhythms and terminally ventricular fibrillation. Moderate hyperkalemia has been noted to suppress supraventricular and ventricular ectopic beats in about 80% of patients. On the other...
More accurate pacemaker detection for advanced interpretation of paced rhythms. Enhanced barcode workflow, with orders and ADT download capability, works together to help improve efficiency across the enterprise. Connected ECG Workflow to help save time and avoid costly misdiagnoses. Advanced algorithms in...
