For example, if you colored the P wave green, underline in green the statement describing what the P wave represents. 1. This part of the waveform represents ventricular repolarization. 2. This part of the waveform represents atrial depolarization. 3. This part of the waveform represents the time it takes for the cardiac impulse to travel from the atria to the ventricles. 4.

A variety of ways to calculate heart rate from an ECG may be used. The quickest way to calculate heart rate on a rhythm strip is: Count the number of large squares between one R-R interval, and divide this number into 1500. Calculate the number of QRS complexes in 1 minute Count the number of R-R intervals in 6 seconds, and multiply by 10 Count the number of small squares between one R-R interval, and multiply this number by 300.

Referencing the ECG trace below, when would you expect the AV node to start depolarizing? options: P R Q S QT Interval T Right before the T wave. Some time during the PR interval. Right before the P wave. Right after the QRS complex. RR Interval P R S QT Interval T
Mark the following coordinates on the image about: 1. repolarization of the ventricles 2. conduction through the atrioventricular node, 3. depolarization of the ventricles and repolarization of the atria. 4. First deflection corresponding to the movement of current when the atria depolarize
In an EKG reading: | the P wave corresponds to the AV node firing. the QRS complex corresponds to a time when ventricular pressure is greater than atrial pressure. When in sympathetic mode, the AV Bundle will be receiving impulses at a faster rate then when in parasympathetic mode. | The T wave represents the time when the SA node first fires. The P-R interval represents the delay that occurs when the AV Bundle transmits signals to the Purkinje fibers.
The standard EKG consists of 10 sensors that record 12 leads of the heart’s electrical activity from different angles, allowing for a thorough three-dimensional interpretation of its activity. This is transmitted by the electrodes to the equipment to be interpreted and is used to diagnose cardiac medical conditions. In case of an abnormal EKG, the second step would be to use a Holter monitor. How would you explain to your classmates how to perform an EKG (steps)? Where will you place the electrodes when performing and EKG? Why? What are the different lead types, connections, and placements? When you conclude an EKG, what are the different components that you need to observe and confirm before you disconnect the patient? Can you explain the difference between normal, abnormal, and artifacts? What is a Holter monitor? Under what circumstances would one be ordered for a patient? How do you use a Holter monitor? Educate a patient: What you will do before, during, and after an…
A normal patient has an ECG monitor attached to him/her as he/she starts exercises at the gym. The ECG recording shows a significant increase in heart rate to 220 beats/min after 20 minutes of strenuous exercise. What are the consequences and why? To answer this, be sure to address blood flow through the heart and what is happening to the blood flow, electrical impulses and pressures during each phase of the ECG (p,q,r,s,t).
Unlike the discrete waveform from an electrocardiogram, the electromyogram waveform is irregular. Why do you suppose this is?

Once you have studied the wiggers diagram Create your own outline of the steps with a brief explanation of each step. Why each step occurs when it does; example p-wave occurs before atrial contraction becasue it is the indication that electrical current traveled through the atria to cause atrial depolorization. You should cover all major steps from start to end of a single cardiac cycle. number of steps you include are up to you depending on how you are looking at it, but make sure all major steps are covered
