Question
Answer
Transmission of EKG signals via radio waves   Telemetry  
🗑
On an EKG tracing, an indication of the absence of electrical charge or activity represents   Baseline  
🗑
A beat arising from a focus outside the heart is   Ectopic beat  
🗑
Epicardium   Outermost layer of the heart  
🗑
Sudden rush of blood pushed into the ventricles as a result of atrial contraction is   Atrial kick  
🗑
The U wave represents   Repolarization  
🗑
Not necessary in administering an EKG   Sterilizing the leads  
🗑
Which type of lead is lead III   Bipolar limb lead  
🗑
Represented by the Q-T interval   One ventricular contraction and recovery  
🗑
Leads aVR, aVL, and aVF are   -Limb leads and Augmented leads(aka Unipolar leads) (BOTH OF THESE)  
🗑
Successful depolarization of the atria or ventricles by an artificial pacemaker is called   capture  
🗑
Not a cause of artifacts on an EKG   Clean sensors  
🗑
Augmented leads are also known as   Unipolar leads  
🗑
The QRS complex represents   Contraction of the ventricles  
🗑
The coronary sinus empties into the   Right atrium  
🗑
A falling or drooping of the heart   Cardioptosis  
🗑
Measurement of the atrial rate on the EKG tracing   P waves  
🗑
Lead II is a(n)   Bipolar limb lead  
🗑
The heart's conduction system is measured by   Exercise electrocardiography  
🗑
Which of the patient's limbs serves as an electrical ground   Right leg  
🗑
Depolarization of fast cells is dependent on which electrolytes   Sodium  
🗑
Device that may deliver a small amount of electrical energy to cause myocardial depolarization   Electronic pacemaker  
🗑
Cardiomegaly often occurs in which condition   Congestive heart failure  
🗑
Which waves on an EKG represent the slow recovery of repolarization   U wave  
🗑
When ventricular rhythm is extremely slow and irregular, and it becomes slower to the point of asystole, it is called   Agonal rhythm  
🗑
