Ekg Rhythms Interpretation. Each module includes lecture materials as well as interactive question and answer exercises. Identify the sequence of normal electrical activation of the heart. These impulses stimulate and coordinate atrial and ventricular myocardial contractions that provide cardiac output. An ekg uses electrodes attached to the skin to detect electric current moving through the heart.
P waves p wave for every qrs. Basic ekg interpretation 1. These rhythms are sometimes called nodal rhythms or conduction blocks. Qrs measure from start of q to end of s 0 08. Rhythm regular or irregular regular r r s are equal 3. As a result you need to apply a different method.
Describe the physiology of cardiac muscle contraction.
3 the p wave is positive in lead ii and 4 the pr interval is constant. As a result you need to apply a different method. Interpreting ekg rhythm strips practice strip 1. These signals are transmitted to produce a record of cardiac activity. In part 1 of the basics of ecg interpretation we learnt that the ecg is a simple diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of the heart over a set time period. Each module includes lecture materials as well as interactive question and answer exercises.
