106 Questions
What are the differences between synchronous and asynchronous cardioversion?
Synchronus cardioversion is when shock is delivered on QRS portion of the heart cycle (time when ventricle depolarises). It is used when pulse is present in a patient usually greater than 150/min and sign and symptoms usually of tachycardia. Like in Atrial Fibrillation.
But in case of asynchronus cardioversion shock can be given at any time of heart cycle. Pulse is absent like in Ventricular Fibrillation.
How is trigonometry used in cardiology?
Yes if you want to find out the sine of the angle formed by the heart and the rib cage while the patient is dying
What generates the p wave of an electrocardiogram?
A P wave denotes atrial depolarization or when your atriacontracts. It is generated by the Sinoatrial (SA) node which is the primary pacemaker and signifies a Sinus Rhythm.
What cardiology test would begin with the letter L?
Cardiology tests for Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL). High blood levels of LDL causes accumulation of cholesterol in blood vessels thereby increasing a person's risk of heart.
What does st deviation mean on a cardiology report?
There may be st segment elevated or depressed in st deviation. The st elevation with t wave inversion is seen in acute myocardial wall infarction. The st depression with t wave inversion indicates angina pectoris.
