If you are a nurse, doctor or other medical professional that deals with cardiac issues or ECG readings, you owe it to yourself and your patients to take an EKG interpretation course. An EKG ...
Sometimes, an abnormal EKG reading is a normal variation in a person’s heart rhythm. In other cases, it may be due to an underlying heart condition or a reaction to medication. An electrocardiogram ...
News Medical: Advanced airway management and ECG rhythms make all the difference during cardiac arrest
Advanced airway management and ECG rhythms make all the difference during cardiac arrest
Cardiac muscle tissue has autorhythmicity, the unique ability to initiate a cardiac action potential at a fixed rate—spreading the impulse rapidly from cell to cell to trigger the contraction of the entire heart.
The cardiac cycle consists of two phases: systole (contraction) and diastole (relaxation). Some conditions that can affect the heart include heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and arrhythmia.

Learning the art of ECG interpretation requires intellect, commitment, effort and — perhaps most importantly — an organized approach. I have spent thousands of hours (yes, thousands) looking at ...
An abnormal heart rhythm, also known as an arrhythmia, occurs when the heart beats too fast, too slow, or irregularly, which can be caused by various factors affecting the heart’s complex system.
A junctional rhythm occurs when the electrical activation of the heart originates near or within the atrioventricular node, rather than from the sinoatrial node. Because the normal ventricular ...
The rhythm is regular at a rate of 42 beats/min. The first five QRS complexes are wide (0.14 seconds), with no P waves seen before or after. However, a P wave appears immediately before the fifth QRS ...
