What does the 'K' stand for in EKG?
Kardio EKG=Elektrokardiogramm (German spelling) In the US it is sometimes still referred to as an EKG but is more commonly spelled with a C (Cardio=Heart).
IF an EKG measures electrical signals then how does it record a mechanical process like CPR when there is no electrical signal in the heart?
An EKG measures the sinus rhythm of the heart. Doing CPR will not change the EKG readings. The AED will provide a shock for V-Tach & V-Fib to try to reset the heart so it will regain the normal sinus rhythm
What property of a heart muscle must be altered in order for an electrocardiogram to detect a problem?
The changes in electrical conductance is needed for the EKG to detect a problem.
What is persistent posterobasal forces means in EKG?
Persistent posterobasal forces in an EKG has to do with how the heart directs electrical impulses around itself. You should discuss this with your cardiologist, however it is usually a normal variant.
When will a V wave be seen on the normal EKG tracing?
Yes, a V wave will be seen on a normal EKG tracing. A V wave can signal a lot of things in an EKG, but what it means will be up to the person reading the EKG and the person's reason for the EKG.
Can you find heart problems by a physical examination?
You may be able to find some. But most of the times they will most likely find the problem by doing EKG or some other various tests to be able to pinpoint the problem or find the heart problem.
What is ECG or EKG?
ECG and EKG are the same used to map the electrical activity of heart
I had a heart attack in my widow makernow my heart flip flops sometimesy and what is a flip wave ekg?
If you have had a heart attack and have flip waves in your EKG, it means your EKG is abnormal. Inverted waves are a sign that you have ischemia which means there is a decrease in O2.
What are 3 ways an EKG might warn of a heart problem?
The heart beats too slow (less than 60bpm). The heart beats too fast (more than 100bpm). The heart rhythm is not regular.
What do the R and S waves show on the EKG?
The R and S waves on the EKG show how the heart is contracting and whether or not there is anything wrong with the beating of the heart or the structure of the heart.
Can an EKG detect a murmur?
A murmur is heard by a clinician through a stethoscope and cannot be detected on EKG. However, an EKG reading may occasionally suggest a possible cause for the murmur. Most likely your clinician will be able to determine the cause of the murmur based on clinical grounds, or with the aid of an echocardiogram.
