The ability to identify an abnormality on the 12-lead ECG, suggestive of underlying cardiac disease associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD), is based on a sound working knowledge of the normal ECG ...

The resting electrocardiogram (ECG) furnishes essential information for the diagnosis, management, and prognostic evaluation of patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Almost any ECG ...

The goal of ECG interpretation in athletes is to classify the ECG as: (1) ‘normal’—no further evaluation needed or (2) ‘abnormal’—further evaluation needed. Normal ECGs include common, ...

there are a variety of atypical ECG patterns, often called 'normal variants', that can occur in perfectly normal individuals. SCD is most often due to an extremely rapid and uncoordinated cardiac ...

An electrocardiogram is a picture of the electrical conduction of the heart. By examining changes from normal on the ECG, clinicians can identify a multitude of cardiac disease processes.

She returns for a follow-up visit for palpitations, and a 12-lead ECG is obtained. The rhythm is regular, at a rate of 150 beats/min. The QRS complex duration is normal (0.08 sec) with normal ...

The axis of the ECG is the major direction of the overall electrical activity of the heart. It can be normal, leftward (left axis deviation, or LAD), rightward (right axis deviation, or RAD ...

With traditional ECG systems the veterinary surgeon has been limited to resting ECG. Now with the development of Televet the veterinary surgeon is able to monitor the animal during its normal ...
