How can defects can be identify?
Abnormal changes in the sound of the heart beats can be heard when a doctor listens to the heart with a stethoscope. In addition, a chest x ray, an electrocardiogram (ECG, an electrical printout of the heartbeats), and an echocardiogram
How can atrial septal defects be identified?
Abnormal changes in the sound of the heart beats can be heard when a doctor listens to the heart with a stethoscope. In addition, a chest x ray, an electrocardiogram (ECG, an electrical printout of the heartbeats), and an echocardiogram
How can a heart murmur affect an ECG?
It won't. But in the long term the murmur (depending on which valve is affected) will cause hypertrophy of cardiac muscles for the different ventricles/atria. And the hypertrophy will be detected by the ECG because it will change the cardiac axis. Murmurs are easily heard using a stethoscope so and ECG isn't useful. An ECG monitors the electric impulses of the heart muscle - so better to see heart blocks, infarcts, hypertrophy, AF, SVT etc
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 occurs during the time between the first heart sound and the second sound a. systole d. a heart mur mur b. diastole e. the p wave of the ecg c. ventricular filling?
I have no idea:P
Why abnormalities of the heart is better detected by ausculation rather than electrocardiography?
with electrocardiography and auscultation different abnormalities can be detected. For example, ecg can show abnormal rythms (due to the damage to the conductive tissue or high level of potassium). But cardiac mummurs can only be heard (they're because of valvular problems)
What diagnostic record is also known as an egg or ekg?
An EKG stands for Electro Cardiogram. It is actually known as an ECG but in order to avoid possible confusion between EEG and ECG (Because they sound similar), the term EKG is used. An ECG is a record of heart activity.
What is ECG or EKG?
ECG and EKG are the same used to map the electrical activity of heart
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 does the ECG tell us?
An ECG (Electrocardiogram) tells us how the electrical activity of the heart is working.
An ECG provides imformation about what?
An ECG provides information about the wearer of the ECG's heartrate and rhythm of the heart. It provides information about wether it is normal or abnormal.
