A patient's ECG tracing shows a consistent pattern on two P waves followed by a normal QRS complex and T wave. What is the cause of this abnormal wave pattern? What signs might the patient exhibit? Explain the cardiac conduction cycle as shown on an EKG. ...
We define abdominal pain as any irritation or abnormal sensation or discomfort in an area of the body from below the level of the breast plate down to the level of the top of the bones of the pelvis in front or on the sides. Pain in the abdomen is also referred to as tummy pain or...
Treatment depends on the cause. If your heart palpitations are due to heart disease or an arrhythmia (abnormal heart rhythm), you may need medication or surgery. If there’s no cause, you may be able to improve them with lifestyle tweaks, including stress reduction. ...
Blood pressure is measured using a sphygmomanometer, which consists of an inflatable cuff and a measurement device. The cuff is wrapped around the upper arm and inflated, restricting blood flow. As the cuff deflates, the device measures the pressure exerted on the artery walls, giving readings ...
An EKG or ECG records the electrical activity of your heart. It may show abnormal heartbeats or signals from changes to the heart muscle. A chest x-ray will show enlarged ventricles or a large left atrium. An echocardiogram is a type of ultrasound. Sound waves are used to show the ...
An ECG, or electrocardiogram, is an electrical readout of the heart which measures the electrical output of all heart chambers during cardiac cycles. This is an important diagnostic tool in heart health and can indicate if there is something wrong with the cond...
My MPI is showing a reversible defect but my left heart cath resulted in non-occlusive disease with some slow flow. Doctor, I would benefit from Flow Therapy. × Hello, I’m Paul, I’m a 66-year-old diabetic male, and recently post-cath after having an abnormal stress test and clinica...
Patients with various types of heart disease use remote ECG (electrocardiogram) systems to measure heart rate, body temperature, respiration rate, and other variables to continuously check for abnormal symptoms. In the past, patients wore cumbersome cardiac monitoring “vests,” which required them to...
Frontotemporal and Lewy body dementia are two types of dementia due to the deposition of abnormal proteins.Dementia is a progressive, global decline in cognitive and behavioral functioning that interferes with daily living activities and social relationships (Brain Failure). Senile Dement...
