Why was it that when I was having a panic attack ekg computer reader said abnormal EKG but doctor said it was fine?
EKG readers provide only some very basic information about the patterns of EKGs. Some may make notes of alterations that don't actually represent disease, such as sinus bradycardia. Talk with your doctor for specific information about what your EKG reading said, and about why the doctor believed the notation was not a cause for concern.
What does EKG showed NSR mean?
normal sinus rhythm
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 does a heart murmur look like on an EKG?
not good
What does an artificial pacemaker look like on an EKG?
wandering baseline
What should I look for in online EKG schools?

What does it mean when a heart is in sinus rhythm?
Sinus rhythm is the normal rhythm of the heart. The heart is beating between 60 and 100 beats per minute. An EKG would show a certain pattern like a sine curve, the top part when the heart contracts and the bottom part contracts sending blood through the body.

Which is better - an EKG technician or a pharmacy technician?
It depends on what you like to do. If you like working with patients, you would probably like being an EKG technician more than a pharmacy technician.
What is difference between sinus arrest exit block and sinus arrhythmia?
Sinus activiy is really not recorded on the ECG(EKG) only the atria's response to it. Hence, Sinus Arrest and Sinus Exit Block are determined on the basis of what we can see. The absense of the P wave and it's recurance at the next expected intereval is considered a Sinus Exit Block; meaning the sinus node did its job, but the impluse was blocked form the rest of the atria. The mechanism of such blocking is not fully understood at this point In sinus arrest the the pause is not accurate to the next expected cardiac cycle thus is considered a sinus arrest - meaning that something stopped the sinus node activity for a time (usually just seconds). Of the two Sinus Exit Block carries the least risk of symptoms for the patient.
What does to EKG look like with aortic stenosis?
the ekg of aortic stenosis showsleft ventricular hypertrophyleft ventricular strain due to pressure overload such as depressed st segments and t wave inversion in leads 1 ,avl ,v5 and v6left atrial enlargement
What does myocardial ischemia look like on an ECG?
The ECG sign of subendocardial ischemia is ST segment depression. Note that ECG is used more now that EKG.
