In sinus rhythm with PACs (Premature Atrial Contractions), the heart's electrical activity is disrupted by early signals originating in the atria. This can cause an irregular heartbeat. In sinus rhythm with PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions), the disruption comes from early signals in the ventricles, leading to extra heartbeats. Both conditions can cause palpitations and other symptoms, but the source of the abnormal electrical activity differs between the two.

What does depolarization of the heart mean?

It is a positive wave in the hearts muscle cells, the process of electrical discharge and the flow of electrical activity.


What does an electrocardiogram show?

an electrocardiogram records the electrical activity of the heart, with this you can see the rhythm of the heart and the way it is contracting. This is a great diagnostic tool for health care professionals.


Is alternating current artifacts part of the hearts electrical circuitry?

No, alternating current artifacts are not part of the heart's natural electrical circuitry. The heart's electrical system is driven by specialized cells that generate and propagate electrical signals to coordinate the heartbeats. External sources of alternating current can interfere with the heart's electrical activity and cause disruptions or abnormalities in the heart rhythm.


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 stages of the hearts beats?

The heart beats in two (2) stages. The Diastolic and Systolic. The Diastolic is the blood filling stage and the Systolic is the blood contracting stage. The heartbeat is initiated in the SA Node (SinoAtrial). It sends out regular waves of electrical activity to the atrial walls. This causes the right and left atria to contract at the same time. The electrical activity cannot pass to the ventricles because there is a layer of collagen tissue. Instead the electrical activity gets passed to the AV Node (AtrioVentricular) The AV Node is responsible for passing the waves of electrical activity on to the Bundle Of His. Although there is a slight delay to make sure the ventricle's contraction occurs after the Atria has emptied. (The bundle of His is a group of muscle fibres which conduct the electrical activity to muscle fibres in the right and left ventricle walls Purkyne Fibres.) The Purkyne fibres carry the waves of electrical activity to the walls of the right and left ventricles , causing them to contract at the same time from the bottom of the muscle up.

What does a defibrilator do?

What are the differences between the concentrated gases of a fish heart and a human heart?

The fish heart typically has a two-chambered structure with one atrium and one ventricle, while the human heart has a four-chambered structure with two atria and two ventricles. Fish hearts also have lower pressure and flow rates compared to human hearts, which reflects the differences in the circulatory systems and oxygen demands between the two species.
