What is a cessation of heart activity?
Cardiac Arrest
What is the medical term meaning procedure to assess the electrical activity of a patient's heart over a 24-hour period of normal activity?
The 24 ambulatory monitoring of the heart is called Holter monitoring
Does the electrical activity of the heart precede mechanical activity?
Yes. It is the electrical activity that stimulates the mechanical activity.
Why is defibrillation not effective when there is a total absence of venticular electrical activity in the heart?
When there is no electrical activity in the heart (asystole), the AED won't start the heart as drugs are required to start the heart. The AED will only re-set the heart from abnormal electrical activity (such as V-Tach or V-Fib).
What drugs produce a calming effect by slowing brain activity and reducing the heart rate?
Heroine
What is a cessation of heart activity?
Cardiac Arrest
What is cardioplegia?
Cardioplegia is the intentional and temporary cessation of cardiac activity. cardio meaning the heart and plegia meaning paralysis therefore" cardiac paralysis"
Medical determination of death as the cessation of brain activity?
COMA
What is complete stoppage of all heart activity is called?
Death
How do you record the electrical activity of the heart?
The electrical activity of the heart is recorded using an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) machine. This machine detects the electrical signals generated by the heart and produces a graphical representation of the heart's electrical activity called an ECG tracing. Electrodes are placed on the skin to capture these signals and can help diagnose heart conditions.
What is the cessation of menstruation is called?
menopause
What is the medical term meaning procedure to assess the electrical activity of a patient's heart over a 24-hour period of normal activity?
The 24 ambulatory monitoring of the heart is called Holter monitoring
What is the end of war called?
"Cessation of Hostilities" .
What is the difference between an MRI and a EEG?
Both measure electrical activity -- the ECG in the heart and the EEG in the brain.An EEG is an electroencephalogram and an ECG also known as an EKG is an electrocardiogram. An EEG records brainwave/electrical activity. An ECG records the electrical activity that the heart produces.
What is the meaning of smoking cessation?
It means the stopping of something. To discontinue some activity or action.
When you sneeze do you die for one second?
No. When you sneeze, the intrathoracic pressure in your body momentarily increases. This will decrease the blood flow back to the heart. The heart compensates for this by changing its regular heart beat momentarily to adjust. However, the electrical activity of the heart does not stop during the sneeze.
What is recording of electrical activity of the heart?
Recording of electrical activity of the heart is called an electrocardiogram (ECG). It is a non-invasive test that measures the electrical signals that control the heart's rhythm and can help diagnose heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart attacks, and abnormal heart rhythms. It is performed by placing electrodes on the skin that detect the electrical impulses of the heart.
