What is the difference between heart rate and ventricular rate?
On an ECG the heart rate will match both ventricular rate and atrial rate if the heart is normal. If people have atrial fibrilation then the ventricular rate will be used on the ECG to work out the rate of the ventricular contraction and vice-versa with ventricular fibrilation. Usually both atrial and ventricular rates match so if the atria contracts at 70 BPM the ventricles will beat at 70 BPM. It is possible for the ECG machine to work out atrial or ventricular rate if needs be. Usually, however, if the ECG machine just displays heart rate then both ventricular and atrial rates match.
What does ekg record?
Electrocardiograms (ECG's or EKG's to use the German) records the electrical activity of the heart. It shows the rhythm and rate of an individuals heart
How do you calculate respiratory rate from an ekg?
No there is not a direct connection. Typicly as heart rate increases it is in response to increased cardiac demand and respiratory rate increases accordingly.
What happens to the ECG when your heart speeds up?
An ECG stands for an electrocardiogram, a reading of the rhythm of your heart. What happens to the ECG when your heart speeds up is that the reading will change.
What are the effects of adrenaline on ECG?
adrenaline speeds the heart and the ecg will reflect that.
What disesease can be deduct from ECG?
ECG gives information about the rate, rhythm, and information about conduction of nerve impulses in the heart, evidence of damage to the heart from poor blood supply or previous heart attack, and of course changes to suggest recent heart attack. It is therefore useful to diagnose atrial flutter, fibrillation, heart block, ischaemic changes and heart attack
What is an ECG and what is it?
An ECG test is a non-invasive procedure that records the electrical activity of the heart at rest. Insight Medical Imaging offers ECG exams on a walk-in basis at most of our locations across Alberta. All ECG exams require a doctor’s requisition, Alberta Health Care card, and photo identification. ECG tests can be used to assess heart rate, rhythm, blood pressure, and other symptoms such as palpitation or chest pain. x-ray.ca/services/walk-in-ecg/
A person's can be determined by calculating his or her resting heart rate?
fitness level
Is resting heart rate is determined immediately before exercise?
False
Resting heart rate is determined immediately before exercise?
False
What is the patients heart rate per minute on an ECG recording if five 5mm boxes are seen between the R waves?
80
What is instantaneous heart rate?
Instantaneous Heart Rate is taken by measuring the distance between the R-R interval on an ECG recording. This value tells you how long one heart beat takes. This single value is used to then determine the number of heart beats/minute which is IHR.
