probably abnormal ECG?
It's because NO test is perfect! ECG's computer is very good at recognizing something not 'normal'. It may not be able to tell you exactly what's wrong, but it knows that it's not usual. That's good enough for a computer's reading. This is why you need someone who has seen many ECG to interpret it.
An ECG provides information about the wearer of the ECG's heartrate and rhythm of the heart. It provides information about wether it is normal or abnormal.
Abnormal and inferior goods in economics are goods that are not of the best quality or the normal variety.
Yes, leads placed incorrectly can create the appearance of an anterior infarct on an electrocardiogram (ECG) by altering the electrical signals detected. It is crucial to ensure proper placement of leads to obtain accurate ECG readings and avoid misinterpretation. Consulting with a healthcare provider or technician can help ensure correct lead placement for accurate monitoring.
Abnormal electrical patterns
The ECG shows ST elevation or depression and pathological Q waves. The pathological Q wave is a sign of an old infarct (heart attack) as the muscle doesn't conduct an impulse at a certain point.
The syndrome is also known as lateral medullary infarct (LMI) or posterior inferior cerebellar artery syndrome (PICA).
Yes, it is possible for an ECG to indicate possible anterior infarction while also showing nonspecific inferior T-wave changes. Anterior infarcts can manifest as specific ST-segment elevations or Q waves, while nonspecific T-wave changes can occur for various reasons, including benign conditions or other cardiac issues. Therefore, further clinical evaluation and additional tests, like cardiac biomarkers or imaging, are necessary to confirm or rule out any significant cardiac events.
To diagnose an inferior myocardial infarction (MI) using an ECG, the key criteria include the presence of ST-segment elevation in leads II, III, and aVF, indicating inferior wall involvement. Additionally, reciprocal changes may be observed in the lateral leads (I and aVL) as ST-segment depression. The identification of Q waves in these inferior leads can also support the diagnosis of an inferior MI, especially if present in conjunction with the ST-segment changes.

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.
