What does EKG result low voltage mean?

A low voltage EKG means the amplitude of the QRS waves on the EKG are lower than would be expected. COPD, obesity, and pericardial effusions can cause low EKG voltages, amongst other causes.


What does the Ventrical lines on EKG paper represent?

What is low heart voltage?

Low voltage on an EKG is usually encountered in people with very thick chest walls or with lung diseases. Low voltage results from increased impedance between the EKG leads (on the chest) and the source of the charge (the heart). Increased distance, poorly conducting tissue or air all increase the impedance, thus resulting in decreased voltage visible on the EKG.

The vertical axis of the ecg paper measures?

EKG paper is a grid where time is measured along the horizontal axis, of EKG graph paper and where to measure the components of the EKG wave form.


What does a high voltage reading on an EKG mean?

allows high-voltage shocks to be applied to the patient to stimulate heart action, without disconnect the EKG machine.Hope this helped! :)If you meant that the EKG registers high voltages (high R waves) and you are not referring to a "high voltage reading", if nothing else is abnormal, it could mean that the patient have a thin chest wall and pecs! Usually and echo will be done to make sure everything is okay.

How do you measure peak voltage using oscilloscope?

You measure the peak to peak voltage and divide by 2.


How can you measure the power or voltage of a potato clock?

A voltmeter would measure the voltage. If you measure the voltage drop over a known low resistance you get a kinda-sorta idea of the power available.
