What are pea waves?
A "p" wave is a particular point on an electrocardiogram tracing. It represents the contraction of the right and left atria. The electrocardiogram tracing is a tool that the physician uses to evaluate the health of the heart.
The QRS complex in an electrocardiogram results from?
An Electrocardiogram of a single heart beat shows three distinct waves. These are the P, QRS and T Waves. The QRS wave (normally the largest spike) in the electrocardiogram, is that of the ventricles depolarizing and contracting.
What is the QRS spike of an ECG mean?
a group of waves depicted on an electrocardiogram; it actually consists of three distinct waves created by the passage of the cardiac electrical impulse through the ventricles and occurs at the beginning of each contraction of the ventricles. In a normal electrocardiogram the R wave is the most prominent of the three; the Q and S waves may be extremely weak and sometimes are absent.
What causes normal sinus rhythms?
When the presence of all waves is observed in the electrocardiogram, and these waves follow the order defined alphabetically, the heart is said to show a normal sinus rhythm, and impulses may be assumed to be following the regular conduction pathway
Where can transverse waves be found?
Radio waves
How is sodium chloride used during a electrocardiogram?
Sodium chloride is not used during electrocardiogram.
What is required for the interpretation of the electrocardiogram?
Special training is required for interpretation of the electrocardiogram. To summarize in the simplest manner the features used in interpretations, the P wave of the electrocardiogram is associated with the contraction of the atria
What type of waves are found after radio waves and before infrared waves?
Microwaves
What is the definition of an electrocardiogram?
Electrocardiogram-- The pattern of the heart's electrical impulses that indicate the order and condition of the heart's components.
What is the abbreviation for electrocardiogram?
the abbreviation for Electrocardiogram is either EKG or ECG
Which waves are in the ocean?
Ocean waves created by energy in the water are the waves that can be found in the ocean.
What are 3 waves of radiation that come from the sun?
Electromagnetic waves found in sunlight are light waves, ultraviolet waves and cosmic waves.
