What else can I help you with?
What is the ECG wave that results from the depolarization of the ventricle?
the P wave
What are the 3 components of the ECG trace?
The EKG or ECG components are the P wave (contraction of the atria), the QRS complex (the contraction of the ventricles) and the T wave (repolarization of the ventricles).
How serious is an enlarged heart?
Very, Go see your doctor. You will have a ECG done (Electrocardiogram) and if it needs further investigation you'll have an ultrasound done. === ===
Why there is a delay between the heart beat in the blood pressure recording and the heart beat in the electrical ECG?
the ECG signal is traveling faster than the pressure recording wave.
What test is used for coarctation of the aorta?
Infants usually have an abnormal "gallop" heart rhythm and may also have heart murmurs. Sometimes excessive arterial pulses can be seen in the carotid and suprasternal notch arteries, indicating increased pressure in these arteries
In a normal ECG trace, what does a QRS wave indicate?
the contraction of the ventricles
What is the significance of the T wave on an ECG?
The T wave on an ECG represents the repolarization of the ventricles in the heart. It is important because it shows that the heart is preparing for the next heartbeat and can indicate abnormalities in heart function.
Why does a prominent Q wave in an ECG indicate old infarction?
because it does, so just accept it
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is the?
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is called the P wave. The P wave is the first wave on the ECG.
What wave comes after the t wave of an ECG?
The next wave after the T wave in an ECG is the P wave, which represents atrial depolarization.
What does a peaked T wave indicate on an electrocardiogram (ECG)?
A peaked T wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG) indicates that there may be an abnormality in the heart's electrical activity, which could be a sign of hyperkalemia (high levels of potassium in the blood) or other heart conditions.
What is w wave?
A w-wave is a type of electrocardiogram (ECG) waveform that can sometimes indicate a bundle branch block in the heart's electrical conduction system. It appears as a small upright deflection after the S wave in lead V1 or V2 of an ECG. It is more commonly seen in individuals with certain heart conditions.
What abnormalities can be detected in the T wave on an ECG?
Abnormalities in the T wave on an ECG can indicate conditions such as myocardial ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, or certain heart diseases. These abnormalities may include T wave inversion, flattening, or peaking, which can provide important information about the heart's electrical activity and potential health issues.
What is a biphasic T wave and how does it differ from a normal T wave pattern on an electrocardiogram (ECG)?
A biphasic T wave on an ECG is when the T wave has two distinct peaks or phases instead of the usual single peak seen in a normal T wave pattern. This can indicate certain heart conditions or electrolyte imbalances. In contrast, a normal T wave has a single peak and is typically symmetrical in shape.
What does the P wave indicate?
The P wave indicates the depolarization (contraction) of the atria.Source: Chon, Elizabeth Gross, and Gilroy-Doohan, Mary,Flip and See ECG, W.B. Saunders Company
What does the t wave measure?
The T wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG) represents ventricular repolarization, or the recovery phase of the heart muscle after contraction. Abnormalities in the T wave can indicate possible cardiac issues, such as ischemia or electrolyte imbalances.
What is the ECG wave that results from the depolarization of the ventricle?
the P wave
