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 is the name of EKG tracing?
EKG stands for electrocardiogram.
What is an r-r calucation in the heartbeat?
An r-r calculation is performed on an EKG tracing. It is the distance from one R wave to the next.
What does a P wave record on an EKG?
The P wave represents atrial depolarization (they contract). In a normal EKG, the P-wave precedes the QRS complex. It looks like a small bump upwards from the baseline.
What is the medical term meaning Deflection on an EKG tracing caused by electrical activity other than from the heart?
The medical term for deflection on an EKG tracing caused by electrical activity other than from the heart is "artifact." This can be due to various external factors interfering with the EKG signal, such as patient movement, improper electrode placement, or electrical interference. It is important to recognize and address artifacts to obtain an accurate EKG interpretation.
I had a heart attack in my widow makernow my heart flip flops sometimesy and what is a flip wave ekg-?
There is nothing like flip wave ekg. Please rephrase your question.
What does a normal EKG look like and how can it be distinguished from abnormal readings?
A normal EKG shows a regular pattern of electrical activity in the heart, with specific waves and intervals. Abnormal readings may show irregularities such as abnormal wave shapes, intervals, or patterns. These abnormalities can indicate various heart conditions or issues.
What positions should you place the patient in to record the tracing EKG?
To record an EKG tracing, the patient should be positioned comfortably in a supine position, lying flat on their back. This position helps reduce muscle movement and provides a clear view of the heart's electrical activity. If the patient is unable to lie flat, a semi-Fowler's position (sitting at a 30- to 45-degree angle) may be acceptable. It's essential to ensure that the patient remains relaxed to minimize artifacts in the EKG tracing.
What does an elevated T wave mean on an EKG?
An elevated T wave on an EKG can indicate several conditions, including hyperkalemia (high potassium levels), myocardial ischemia, or pericarditis. It may also be a normal variant in some individuals. Clinically, elevated T waves should be interpreted in the context of the patient's overall clinical picture and other EKG findings. Further evaluation may be necessary to determine the underlying cause.
Depolarization of the atria corresponds directly to the EKG's?
P wave
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.
What is ventricle depolarization?
Type your answer here... abnormally slow depolarization of the ventricles would most change the shape of the ?in an ekg tracing
