What does EKG result low voltage mean?

Low voltage on an EKG typically indicates a decrease in the electrical activity recorded from the heart, which can be caused by a variety of factors such as obesity, chronic lung disease, pericardial effusion, or poor contact between the skin and EKG electrodes. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.


What causes there to be no p wave on an EKG?

The absence of a P wave on an EKG could indicate an issue with the electrical impulse formation in the atria of the heart, such as in atrial fibrillation where the atria are not depolarizing in a coordinated manner. Other possible causes include atrial flutter, junctional rhythm, or ectopic atrial beats. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the underlying cause.


Is Lvh with repolarization abnormality dangerous?

LVH (left ventricular hypertrophy) is represented by classic EKG findings, namely that the sum of V1Q and V5R > 35 mm (ie: a very deep Q wave in V1 and a very tall R wave in V5). Further, you will expect to find left axis deviation as represented by tall R waves in both lead II and aVL. LVH is one of many conditions (including bundle branch blocks) that can also have repolarization abnormalities. Simply put, a repolarization abnormality is shown on EKG with a T wave going the opposite direction as the main direction of the QRS. Recall, normally these will be in the same direction despite the fact that the QRS is ventricular depolarization and the T wave is ventricular repolarization, because they occur in opposite directions.


Immediately before the P wave?

The electrical milestone event that occurs at the P wave of the cardiac cycle of the EKG is atrial depolarization. The upward stroke is right atrial depolarization, and the downward stroke is left atrial depolarization. Normally, this lasts for no more than 0.11 sec.


Why are volcanoes located in the Pacific Ocean?

Because the Pacific Ocean tectonic plate is still spreading from the East Pacific Oceanic ridge while being subducted underneath at least 6 major and minor tectonic plates , North American , South American, Indian-Australian, Indonesian, Caribbean, and Antarctic. Subduction produces vulcanism when subducted basaltic oceanic crust melts at 700 km or more in the mantle and the magma rises because of density differences to be erupted in volcanoes creating volcanic arcs in either the ocean, like Japan and the Philippine Islands and Indonesia and New Zealand, or on land, like the Andes and the Cascade and Olympic mountain. The San Andreas and associated fault systems are a transform fault system that form part of the Ring of Fire system East Pacific Rise spreading system.
