ECG A portable, limited use electrocardiogram (ECG) recording device (100) is provided for diagnosing cardiac problems. The device (100) includes a cover (102) hingedly connected to a base (104) provided with a pair of spaced apart, tactile-sensing electrodes (117) engageable with the patient's hands (118) during an ECG recording and at least one indicator light (119) signaling a start and finish status of the ECG recording. A circuit (124) is electrically connected to the electrodes (117) and the status indicator light (119) and includes a processor (126) and memory (127) for receiving and storing ECG signals from the patient touching the electrodes (117). The cover (102) has an outer face (105) provided with preprinted mailing information (107) for returning the recording device in a folded, closed position to a location for retroactively analyzing the stored ECG signals. The device (100) may be disposed of following analysis of the stored ECG signals.

What is another name for an ECG?
EKG
What is the name of EKG tracing?
EKG stands for electrocardiogram.
What is the composite recording of all nodal and myocardial action potentials?
Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
What is the difference between ecg and echo?
An ECG or EKG is a recording of the electrical activity of the heart. An echocardiogram is an ultrasound recording of the heart and its blood flow.
What is the medical term for EKG and what does it mean?
Electrocardiogram or electrocardiograph (also known as ECG)
What is an anemometrograph?
An anemometrograph is another name for an anemograph, an anemometer which produces a graphical recording.
What is electrocardiograph?
Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on the skin.
What is another abbreviation for EKG?
ECG (electrocardiogram). The initialism "EKG" was introduced because "ECG" was too easily confused with "EEG" (electroencephalogram), when interpreting verbal orders.
What is the name of the heart pulse monitors in hospitals?
EKG or electrocadiogram
What is the difference between telemetry and an ekg?
Telemetry doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the heart. It simply means that information is collected and sent remotely to another location for recording or studying. On a telemetry unit in a hospital, it means that the patient's heart rhythm is sent to one main monitor, like at the nurses' station, so that they can monitor many patients at once. An EKG or ECG is an electrocardiogram. Electrodes are placed on the patient, and it records the electrical activity of the heart. An EKG can pick up abnormal rhythms that can be life-threatening. It is displayed on a monitor or printed out on a piece of paper. The telemetry equipment then would take the information from the EKG and send it to the doctors or nurses for monitoring.
When do you standardize an EKG?
before and after you run EKG
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.
