Use this EKG interpretation cheat sheet that summarizes all heart arrhythmias in an easy-to-understand fashion. One of the most useful and commonly used diagnostic tools is electrocardiography (EKG) which measures the heart’s electrical activity as waveforms.
A simple, step-by-step guide to reading an ECG (also known as ECG interpretation), with included ECG examples and ECG quiz questions.
5 Step Method to Reading An EKG Strip. This method is primarily for reading Non-Interpretive EKG Machines. 1. Identify and Examine the P Waves. The P-Wave, located at the beginning of the ECG cycle, should be present and upright. A P-Wave that is absent or inverted is abnormal.
Being able to read an EKG or ECG is an important skill for nurses. But looking at a 12-lead EKG/ECG can put your own heart into a lethal rhythm. Nurses are usually the first ones to read that “hot off the press” EKG tracing. This article will explain everything you need to know about EKG readings.
The EKG translates the heart’s electrical activity into visible waves. The size and relationship between waves can tell your physician if the electrical signal is being conducted normally or if there are areas of injury in the heart.
An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) is a test that records the electrical activity of your heart. This test can help determine the cause of symptoms you might be having or check the overall health of your heart.
