What does a heart attack look like on a 12 lead ecg?
ST elevation
What disesease can be deduct from ECG?
ECG gives information about the rate, rhythm, and information about conduction of nerve impulses in the heart, evidence of damage to the heart from poor blood supply or previous heart attack, and of course changes to suggest recent heart attack. It is therefore useful to diagnose atrial flutter, fibrillation, heart block, ischaemic changes and heart attack
What are three conditions in which a bundle branch block would appear on the ECG?
Congestive heart failure heart attack and heart failure of other origin
What does possible anterior infarct age undetermined on ECG analysis mean?
Most ECG machines are designed to pick up certain abnormalities in the tracing, they will therefore give suggestions of what could be wrong. Possible anterior infarct means that there is possible cell death in the front (anterior) part of the heart. BUT these automatic analysis are very unreliable and just a bit of movement can lead it to saying possible heart attack on a perfectly normal ECG. Therefore, always ask a professional who is trained in reading ECGs for the diagnosis - don't rely on the machine. age undetermined just means whoever did the ECG did not enter the patient's age into the machine before taking the ecg.
What is the purpose of a technetium heart scan?
The technetium heart scan is used to evaluate the heart after a heart attack. It can confirm that a patient had a heart attack when the symptoms and pain usually associated with a heart attack were not present; identify the size and location.
What is the pattern on an ECG reading after a heart attack?
If a patient has experienced a sudden cardiac arrest, an ECG will pick up electrical patterns that are abnormal. These patterns are typically referred to as prolonged QT intervals.
What happens to the ECG when your heart speeds up?
An ECG stands for an electrocardiogram, a reading of the rhythm of your heart. What happens to the ECG when your heart speeds up is that the reading will change.
What is abnormal ecg?
An abnormal ECG may indicate some heart problems. It may be an indication of changes in the heart, congenital heart defect, changes in amount of potassium in the blood, heart attack or poor blood supply to the arteries.
Is 1 ecg enough to get done for life?
i had an ecg about 10 years ago i thought i was having a heart attack but it was just anxiety the doctor said my heart was fine and was very strong so with all these people dying recently i was wondering is 1 test for life 1 was 14 when i had it
Does a cardiogram show previous heart attacks?
An EKG is a graphical image of the electrical system of the heart. Heart attacks frequently cause changes in how electricity flows through the heart. Because of this, the changes can frequently be seen on an EKG after the heart attack has had time to heal.
Are heart PVC dangerous for me who have heart disease?
it depends in a structurally normal heart pvc's are not dangerous at all however if your heart structure has been altered by a heart attack or you were born with an abnormality there is a small risk of sudden death best to get it checked out on an ecg
What medical conditions or situations can cause spiked T waves on an electrocardiogram (ECG)?
Medical conditions or situations that can cause spiked T waves on an electrocardiogram (ECG) include myocardial infarction (heart attack), myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), hyperkalemia (high levels of potassium in the blood), and pericarditis (inflammation of the lining around the heart).
