2. Rhythm interpretation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_interpretation

   Rhythm interpretation is an important part of healthcare in Emergency Medical Services . Trained medical personnel can determine different treatment options based on the cardiac rhythm of a patient. There are many common heart rhythms that are part of a few different categories, sinus arrhythmia , atrial arrhythmia, ventricular arrhythmia .

3. 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.

4. Sinus rhythm - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_rhythm

   The term normal sinus rhythm (NSR) is sometimes used to denote a specific type of sinus rhythm where all other measurements on the ECG also fall within designated normal limits, giving rise to the characteristic appearance of the ECG when the electrical conduction system of the heart is functioning normally; however, other sinus rhythms can be ...

5. Automated ECG interpretation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_ECG_interpretation

   Automated ECG interpretation is the use of artificial intelligence and pattern recognition software and knowledge bases to carry out automatically the interpretation, test reporting, and computer-aided diagnosis of electrocardiogram tracings obtained usually from a patient.

6. QRS complex - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QRS_complex

   Schematic representation of a normal sinus rhythm ECG wave. Diagram showing how the polarity of the QRS complex in leads I, II, and III can be used to estimate the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane. The QRS complex is the combination of three of the graphical deflections seen on a typical electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). It is usually ...

7. Premature atrial contraction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premature_atrial_contraction

   Normal sinus rhythm and ectopic beats - premature ventricular contractions (PVC) and premature atrial contractions (PAC) shown on an EKG. Premature atrial contractions are typically diagnosed with an electrocardiogram, Holter monitor, long-term continuous monitor, cardiac event monitor, or with a smartwatch with an ECG functionality. [citation ...

8. P wave (electrocardiography) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_wave_(electrocardiography)

   If at least three different shaped P waves can be seen in a given ECG lead tracing, this implies that even if one of them arises from the SA node, at least two others are arising elsewhere. This is taken as evidence of multiple (i.e. at least two) ectopic foci , and is called multifocal (or more correctly, multiform) atrial rhythm if the rate ...

9. Right bundle branch block - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_bundle_branch_block

   The criteria to diagnose a right bundle branch block on the electrocardiogram: The heart rhythm must originate above the ventricles (i.e., sinoatrial node, atria or atrioventricular node) to activate the conduction system at the correct point. The QRS duration must be more than 100 ms (incomplete block) or more than 120 ms (complete block). [9]
