Which test is used to help diagnose cardiac disease conditions? ECG
Which of the following will NOT help create a good ECG tracing? Tell the patient to take big, deep breaths
Where do the electrical impulses of the heart begin? sinoatrial (SA) node
Ventricular depolarization correlates with which part of the ECG reading? QRS complex
Ventricular systole means . . . Ventricles are contracting
An ECG is . . . electrocardiogram
The medical term for 'flatline' is asystole
How many electrodes are placed for a 12 lead EKG? 10
A diagnostic test that requires the patient to exercise while the heart is being monitored is stress test
