EKG
Rhythm Interpretation
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The ECG waveform has various components such as | Waves, Segments, and Intervals |
| Evaluated and classified based on their: | Size, Length of time and Location on the tracing |
| The period of time between two activities within the heart. | Intervals |
| Measures the time between atrial depolarization and ventricular depolarization | PR Interval |
| Correlates w/the duration of ventricular depolarization and repolarization cause the ventricular to contact and rest beginning of the Q-wave to the ending of the T-wave | QT intervals |
| A portion or part of the electrical tracing produced by the heart. | Segment |
| Completion of the P-wave initial QRS deflection | PR segment |
| Final QRS deflection initial start of the T-wave | ST segment |
| Atrial or ventricular contractions as they appear on the ECG, complete ECG waveforms. | QRS Complexes |
| ECG is an important tool for | Diagnosing and treating various cardiac diseases and Determining cardiac dysrhythmia can be challenging. |
