A graphic tracing of the electric current generated by the heart is called?
electrocardiogram
What do you need to know in order to determine your target heart rate range?
age
What is the name of the instrument used to measure heart rate?
There is a gadget made by Mark of Fitness which is able to measure your finger pulse rate continuously. Note that your pulse rate can be slightly different from your heart rate.
Does an electrocardiogram record the electrical activity of the heart?
Yeah, that's its prime objective. The leads placed on the limbs can measure the heart's electrical activity, as the voltages generated in the heart are readily transmitted through the body to the limbs.
Why is Heart Rate measured?
to measure heart rate one could use an electrocardiogram the human body is mainly salty water and so it conducts electrisity. the electrical activiy which spreads across the heart aslo spreads outwards away from the heart. this causes the voltage of the skin to change slightly. these potential differences can be detected by a electrocardiogram at various parts of the body
What machine checks your heart rate as you use it?
Heart rate monitor, or Electrocardiogram.
What would you see on the Electrocardiogram if the SA node did not fire?
An electrocardiogram would show reduced heart rate as other parts of the heart cause potentials at low rates. Also there would be no P wave.
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.
How do you calculate respiratory rate from an ekg?
No there is not a direct connection. Typicly as heart rate increases it is in response to increased cardiac demand and respiratory rate increases accordingly.

What waves are found on an electrocardiogram?
There are no waves in an electrocardiogram. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is performed by putting electrodes on the body and measuring heart activity directly.
Can you determine the sex of your baby by the heart rate?
no.
What organ in the body is tested by an electrocardiogram?
The Heart.
How do you pass an EKG test plus on Methadone plus xanax?
You do not "pass" and EKG. An electrocardiogram is a diagnostic test used to determine potential cardiac or heart problems.
Why do you measure pulse?
To determine the subject's heart rate.
What is an electrocardiograph?
Electrocardiogram or Electrocardiograph (ECG or EKG) detects small electrical signals given off by the heart during contraction. The machine is used to measure the rate in which the heart beats and the regularity of the beating.
What is the medical meaning of record of heart sounds?
electrocardiogram
