  2. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG [a]), a recording of the heart's electrical activity through repeated cardiac cycles. [4] It is an electrogram of the heart which is a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart [5] using electrodes placed on the skin.

  3. T wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_wave

    But this negative flow causes a positive T wave; although the cell becomes more negatively charged, the net effect is in the positive direction, and the ECG reports this as a positive spike. [2] However, a negative T wave is normal in lead aVR. Lead V1 generally have a negative T wave.

  4. Rhythm interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_interpretation

    There are 6 different sinus arrhythmia. [1] [2]A normal heart should have a normal sinus rhythm, this rhythm can be identified by a ventricular rate of 60-100 bpm, at a regular rate, with a normal PR interval (0.12 to 0.20 second) and a normal QRS complex (0.12 second and less).

  5. Sinus rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_rhythm

    Normal heart rate (classically 60 to 100 beats per minute for an adult). Regular rhythm, with less than 0.16-second variation in the shortest and longest durations between successive P waves The sinus node should pace the heart – therefore, P waves must be round, all the same shape, and present before every QRS complex in a ratio of 1:1.

  6. Long QT syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_QT_syndrome

    Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a condition affecting repolarization (relaxing) of the heart after a heartbeat, giving rise to an abnormally lengthy QT interval. [7] It results in an increased risk of an irregular heartbeat which can result in fainting, drowning, seizures, or sudden death. [1]

  7. QT interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QT_interval

    The QT interval is a measurement made on an electrocardiogram used to assess some of the electrical properties of the heart.It is calculated as the time from the start of the Q wave to the end of the T wave, and approximates to the time taken from when the cardiac ventricles start to contract to when they finish relaxing.
