The basic components of an electrocardiograph are : Electrodes, Leads, the galvanometer, the amplifier and the stylus. The heated stylus records the motion on graph paper located in the machine by burning the impression on the heat-sensitive paper.
EKG
EKG paper is a grid where time is measured along the horizontal axis, of EKG graph paper and where to measure the components of the EKG wave form.
voltage
25 mm/sec
The vertical axis of the EKG paper measures the amplitude or voltage of the electrical signals generated by the heart. This is typically expressed in millivolts (mV), with each small square representing 0.1 mV. The height of the deflections in the EKG waveform indicates the strength of the electrical activity occurring during each heartbeat.
Okay so an EKG show the electrical impulse that travels through the heart. What I mean is EKG don't show contraction. However the QRS complex represent ventricular depolarization, which signals ventricular contraction
before and after you run EKG
EKG stands for electrocardiogram.
Yes, a V wave will be seen on a normal EKG tracing. A V wave can signal a lot of things in an EKG, but what it means will be up to the person reading the EKG and the person's reason for the EKG.
An ekg is a machine used in medical tests involving the heart. Often to operate one you have to attend a special school. EKG stands for: Electrocardiography.
When performing an EKG which limb is used as a ground.
No there was no EKG machine when he lived.
