What else can I help you with?
What term is used to describe the horizontal part of a tracing on an ECG and what does this line indicate?
The horizontal part of a tracing on an ECG is called the baseline. It represents the period when the heart is not actively depolarizing or repolarizing, showing the electrical activity at rest.
What wave comes after the t wave of an ECG?
The next wave after the T wave in an ECG is the P wave, which represents atrial depolarization.
What unit do you measure the amplitude of an ECG wave?
The amplitude of an ECG wave is typically measured in millimeters (mm) on the vertical axis of the ECG graph. It represents the voltage or electrical activity of the heart muscle during each phase of the cardiac cycle.
When the ecg is running at normal speed the paper is moving at the rate of?
When the ECG is running at normal speed, the paper is moving at 25 mm/sec.
What is vector on an ecg?
A vector on an ECG represents the direction and magnitude of electrical activity within the heart at a specific moment. It is used to visualize the overall electrical activity of the heart, helping to identify abnormalities in rhythm or conduction. By analyzing the vectors on an ECG, healthcare providers can assess the health and function of the heart.
What is the isoelectric line of the ECG?
An isoelectric line on the electrocardiograph is the base line on an electrocardiogram.
You like to read ecg graph how to learn?
yes
What is the flat line on an ecg called?
isoelectric lines!
What does it mean if there is no heart beat and a straight line on an ECG?
then there dead
What is QRS in ECG?
The QRS complex on an ECG represents ventricular depolarisation. This wave should have the greatest amplitude.
What is the flat horizontal line that separates the various waves of the ECG cycle?
its a flat horizontal line separator....
What components of the ECG are normally measured along the isoelectric line?
st segments
What is polarization in the electrocardiogram?
Polarization in an electrocardiogram (ECG) refers to the resting state of the heart's electrical activity, when no electrical impulses are being generated. This is represented by the flat line (isoelectric line) between heartbeats on the ECG tracing.
What does the medical abbreviation ECG mean?
It stands for "electrocardiogram", a basic read-out of the function of the heart muscle.
What is a flat line on the ECG tracing of one of the leads is typically caused by?
A loose or disconnected wire.
What does a straight line on an ECG represent?
A flat section of line indicates no muscular activity in the heart at that particular instant; a constantly flat line indicates heart failure.
What is the vertical line on an ECG that indicates the pacemaker has discharged?
Pacer Spike otherwise known as (Pacemaker Spike)
