What is R-R interval in an ECG?
the time between the two R waves in ECG
How can a heart murmur affect an ECG?
It won't. But in the long term the murmur (depending on which valve is affected) will cause hypertrophy of cardiac muscles for the different ventricles/atria. And the hypertrophy will be detected by the ECG because it will change the cardiac axis. Murmurs are easily heard using a stethoscope so and ECG isn't useful. An ECG monitors the electric impulses of the heart muscle - so better to see heart blocks, infarcts, hypertrophy, AF, SVT etc
Which part is atrial systole in ECG?
identify the portion of the ECG that represents the electrcal activity associated with atrial systole.
What does ECG stand for?
Electrocardiogram or electrocardiograph.
What does low oxygen in the blood look like in a ECG?
An ECG won't show oxygen levels in the blood - it simply records the patients heartbeat.
What is the abbreviation for ecg lead v?
vertical
How many lead wires are used to obtain a 12-lead ECG tracing?
FOUR
What is the cause for smeared trace of ECG machine?
LEAD DISPLACEMENT
What does a heart attack look like on a 12 lead ecg?
ST elevation
Why are the waves in the same direction in an ECG?
The wave direction indicated whether the electrical impulse from the heart is going towards or away from the ECG lead that is being studied.
What confounding variables can interfere with an ECG?
jewlrey, medications, movement, lead placement, metal buttons,
What does the ECG and EKG record?
ECG and EKG mean the same thing, and it records the hearts electrical activity on a 6 second strip. The physician can make a diagnosis by looking at the EKG print out. If a 12-Lead EKG is used, then all walls and function of the heart will be recorded.
What are the inferior leads in 12-lead ECG?
Inferior Leads are lead II,III,aVF [IMG]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Contiguous_leads.svg[/IMG]
What is CPT code 93000?
CPT codes have an AMA copyright. The general answer is the code represents the professional interpretation and report of a 12 lead ecg.
What is the full form of ecg scan?
ECG stands for ElectroCardioGram
What does t inversion v3 show on ecg?
T inversion in lead V3 on an ECG may indicate various conditions such as myocardial ischemia, ventricular strain, or electrolyte imbalances. It is important to consider the clinical context and the overall ECG findings when interpreting T-wave inversions in lead V3. Additional testing and evaluation may be necessary to determine the underlying cause.
What is the number of each angle on a 12 lead ecg?
Lead I: 0 and +/- 180Lead aVL: -30 and +150Lead III: -60 and +120Lead aVF: -90 and +90Lead II: -120 and +60Lead aVR: -150 and +30
