What else can I help you with?
What magnifies the heart electrical signal so that it can be recorded?
amplifier
Does heart work alone?
no the heart resives an electrical signal from the brain causing the mucle to flex
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 does left atrial abnormality in ecg mean?
An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart. It produces a trace of the heart working and the trace for an individual can be compared to that of a normal, healthy heart. A left atrial abnormality means that the ECG for the heart in question shows that there is something wrong with the electrical signal relating to the heart's left atrium.The left atrium is one of four chambers in the heart. It receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins, and pumps it into the left ventricle, via the mitral valve.You need to get the doctor to explain the CAUSE of the anomalous electrical signal.
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).

How do ECG leads work to measure the electrical activity of the heart?
ECG leads are electrodes placed on the skin that detect the electrical signals produced by the heart. These signals are then amplified and recorded by the ECG machine, which creates a visual representation of the heart's electrical activity on a graph.
What is the correct sequence of events in a heart beat?
The correct sequence of events in a heart beat begins with the heart's sinoatrial (SA) node generating an electrical signal that causes the atria to contract, pumping blood into the ventricles. The electrical signal then travels to the atrioventricular (AV) node, which delays the signal slightly before passing it to the ventricles, causing them to contract and pump blood out of the heart. Finally, the heart relaxes before the next cycle begins.
Structure that carries the heart electrical impulse into the ventricle?
The structure that carries the heart's electrical impulse into the ventricles is called the bundle of His. It is a collection of specialized muscle fibers located in the walls of the heart's chambers that conducts the electrical signal from the atrioventricular node to the ventricles, initiating their contraction.
What is the role of the S-A node?
The sinoatrial (S-A) node is known as the heart's natural pacemaker. It generates electrical impulses that set the pace for the heartbeat by initiating each electrical signal that triggers the heart muscle to contract. This ensures the heart beats at a regular rhythm.
What does a pacemaker control in the heart?
A pacemaker sends electrical shocks to the heart to beat it at a particular speed. It pulsates the heart at a set rate (eg. 60bpm) to help those who are have a slower than normal heartbeat.
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 event stimulates the contraction of cardiac muscle?
The event that stimulates the contraction of cardiac muscle is the electrical signal generated by the sinoatrial (SA) node in the heart, also known as the pacemaker of the heart. This signal causes the heart muscle cells to contract and pump blood throughout the body.

What creates heart rate?
Heart rate is simply the number of times that the heart beats per minute. This is generated by the "pacemaker" of the body which is the signal sent from the brain to the heart's sinoatrial (SA) node. This causes the initiation of contraction of the cardiac muscle which spreads across the heart to contract the atria and ventricles in a rhythmic fashion. The number of times this signal is sent from the brain to the heart gives the heart rate.
What signal is the electrical equivalent of message signal?
Modulating Signal,
