In an ECG, the standardization mark typically refers to a calibration signal that represents a specific amplitude. This is usually set at 10 mm (or 1 mV) in height for each small square on the ECG paper, which helps ensure accurate interpretation of the heart's electrical activity. When the ECG is properly standardized, it allows for consistent comparison of different ECGs over time or among different patients.
NSST on an ECG stands for non-specific ST, and is usually followed by the word "changes." Non-specific ST changes are alterations in the shape, height, or slope of the ST segment in the ECG that don't point to a particular diagnosis.
ECG stands for ElectroCardioGram
A millivolt measurement on ECG paper indicates the amplitude of electrical signals produced by the heart, with one millivolt typically represented by a specific height on the graph. Standard ECG paper has a calibration where 1 millivolt corresponds to a vertical deflection of 10 small squares, or 1 large square, on the ECG tracing. This measurement helps in assessing the heart's electrical activity and identifying abnormalities. Proper interpretation of these millivolt values is crucial for diagnosing various cardiac conditions.
Never. An ECG is a test, not an illness or disease.
The P Wave on and ECG shows depolarization of the Atria, and the characteristics should be smooth, round, no more than 2.5 mm in height, no more than .11 seconds in duration, and positive in leads I,II, aVF, and V2 through V6.
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.
The portion of the ECG that corresponds to atrial depolarization is called the P wave. The P wave is the first wave on the ECG.
Electrocardiogram is also known as ECG or EKG
It can be tested with something called an ecg simulator.
The ECG sign of subendocardial ischemia is ST segment depression. Note that ECG is used more now that EKG.
A standard Dachshund (often refered to as "sausage dog" or "weiner dog") is 8 to 11" in height to the shoulders, while a miniature Dachshund is 5 to 7" in height to the shoulders.
