What is the difference between PR segment an PR interval in EKG?
The difference between intervals and segment is that intervals include the waves,and segments don't.
What is r t segment?
The R-T segment is the portion of the EKG tracing from the R wave to the T wave.
What wave of the EKG occurs during depolarization of the ventricle?
QRS
What does the abbreviations STEM and non STEM mean in connection with ST segment?
I believe you are referring to STEMI (ST segment elevation myocardial infarction) and non-STEMI. These are two different forms of myocardial infarction - STEMI results in transmural (all the way through the cardiac muscle wall) injury, which results in elevation of the ST segment on EKG. Non-STEMI (NSTEMI), which used to be called a Non-Q-wave MI, is usually a subendocardial injury, which results in cardiac injury, but not as severe as STEMI. NSTEMIs do not have any elevation of the ST segment on EKG. These only have elevation of cardiac biomarkers on blood work.
What is an EKG technician salary?
An EKG technician salary can range from anywhere between $50,000 and up. The best way to find out how much an EKG technician salary is would be to visit a local newspaper site.
What is the thing called surgeons use that show your heart rate?

What does myocardial ischemia look like on an ECG?
The ECG sign of subendocardial ischemia is ST segment depression. Note that ECG is used more now that EKG.
Why is it called ekg and not ecg?
because in Germany they called it an electrokardiogram. and EKG stuck. but cardio is greek deriviative and in English we say ECG... but its still easier and rolls off the tongue better as EKG so it has stuck.
What is represented by the largest wave or curve on an EKG?
by largest, I'll assume tallest. the tallest wave on an EKG is called the QRS complex and represents the contraction of the left ventricle. btw tallest could also mean lowest depending on the particular ekg lead.
When do you standardize an EKG?
before and after you run EKG
What are the key differences between an EKG strip of a patient with atrial fibrillation (a-fib) and a normal EKG strip?
In atrial fibrillation (a-fib), the EKG strip will show irregular and rapid heartbeats with no distinct P waves, while a normal EKG strip will show regular and steady heartbeats with clear P waves before each QRS complex.
What do that thing call when doctor check your heart with?
Depends : fingers, stethoscope, EKG.
