What else can I help you with?
A researcher is measuring the heart rate of subjects as an index of anxiety in this study the heart rate is?
In this study, the measuring of the heart rate is an operational definition of anxiety.
The study of the heart may incorporate many aspects of anatomy but as a whole you would say it is?

What is the medical term meaning any disease of the heart?
The study of the heart in a medical field is called cardiology. Those who study the heart are called cardiologists and should not be confused with cardiac surgeons who performs cardiac surgeries on the heart.
What is the medical term meaning radiographic study to visualize the dimensions of the heart?
A ultrasound test of the heart is called an echocardiogram
Is audible s3 heart sounds normal?
Such questions will continue to come from senior doctors. When you listen some abnormal heart sounds, you should go for ecocardiogram of the patient. With Doppler study, you will get complete information of the defects and blood flow of the heart. You have to listen heart sounds very routinely to know the 'normal' heart sounds. There is no short cut for the same.
What is the origin of the term Electrophysiology?
Electrophysiology is of Greek origin. It is the study of electrical properties of biological cells and tissue. It measures voltage change or electric currents on many scales like ion channel protein to organs like the heart.
What is the approximate cost in the US to do an electrophysiology study?
Mine was billed at $18, 425 for the evaluation with additional charges of $4,704 for "intracardia electrophysiology" and $5,428 for "Stimulations, pacing of the heart." The insurance company has a contracted price for less than that, however.
What procedure is involved in an electrophysiology study of the heart?
four to 10 electrodes are located on the end of the catheters, which have the ability to send electrical signals to stimulate the heart (called pacing) and to receive electrical signals from the heart
Of what advantage is an electrophysiology study of the heart compared to other noninvasive tests?
electrodes are placed directly on heart tissue. This placement allows the electrophysiologist to determine the specific location of an arrhythmia and, often, to correct it during the same procedure
What is the medical term meaning cardiology?
Cardiovascular is related to heart functioning and various blood vessels. It relates to the heart and the various blood vessels, like arteries and veins. It can also be used to refer to cardiovascular (cardio) exercise. For more information about cardiovascular exercise, or how to do cardiovascular exercise for either health or fat loss, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
Under what circumstances may an electrophysiology study of the heart be recommended?
when the standard EKG, Holter monitor, event recorder, stress test , echocardiogram, or angiogram cannot provide enough information to evaluate an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
What consideration underscores the need for electrophysiology study tests?
The normal function of the heart depends on its electrical activity, and the effect of this activity on each of its cells. When a heart is diseased, impaired electrical activity is often the factor that leads to sudden death
What has the author H J J Wellens written?
H. J. J. Wellens has written: 'Electrical stimulation of the heart in the study and treatment of tachycardias' -- subject(s): Electric stimulation, Tachycardia, Therapy, electrophysiology, extrastimulus technique, heart
What impact can marijuana have on preexisting heart conditions?
A study reported by The American Heart Association in February 2000, concluded that smoking marijuana can precipitate a heart attack in persons with preexisting heart conditions.
What risks are associated with an electrophysiology study of the heart?
clot formation may occur and is minimized with anticoagulant medications administered during the procedure. Vascular injuries causing hemorrhage or thrombophlebitis are possible. Cardiac perforations are also possible.
What preparation for an electrophysiology study of the heart does a patient undergo?
The patient may be advised to stop taking certain medications, especially cardiac medications, that may interfere with the test results. The patient fasts for six to eight hours prior to the procedure
What precaution is taken in electrophysiology study of the heart in pediatric patients?
prevention of complications in children may be increased by using ultrasound guidance for access to the internal jugular vein for coronary sinus cannulation (insertion of a tube for the transport of fluid) during EPS
