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. Automated ECG interpretation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_ECG_interpretation

   The manufacturing industries of ECG machines is now entirely digital, and many models incorporate embedded software for analysis and interpretation of ECG recordings with 3 or more leads. Consumer products, such as home ECG recorders for simple, 1-channel heart arrhythmia detection, also use basic ECG analysis, essentially to detect abnormalities.

4. Rapid Interpretation of EKG's - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_Interpretation_of_EKG's

   Rapid Interpretation of EKG's is a best-selling textbook for over 30 years [1] that teaches the basics of interpreting electrocardiograms. It adopts a simplistic fill-in-the-blank style [ 2 ] and is suited for medical students and junior residents. [ 1 ]

5. Hexaxial reference system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexaxial_reference_system

   The hexaxial reference system is a diagram that is used to determine the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane. The hexaxial reference system, better known as the Cabrera system, is a convention to present the extremity leads of the 12 lead electrocardiogram, [1] that provides an illustrative logical sequence that helps interpretation of the ECG, especially to determine the heart's ...

6. List of cardiology mnemonics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cardiology_mnemonics

   Anticoagulants: To prevent embolization.. Beta blockers: To block the effects of certain hormones on the heart to slow the heart rate.. Calcium Channel Blockers: Help slow the heart rate by blocking the number of electrical impulses that pass through the AV node into the lower heart chambers (ventricles).

7. Cardiac monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_monitoring

   Cardiac monitoring generally refers to continuous or intermittent monitoring of heart activity to assess a patient's condition relative to their cardiac rhythm.Cardiac monitoring is usually carried out using electrocardiography, which is a noninvasive process that records the heart's electrical activity and displays it in an electrocardiogram.
