Irregularities in heart rate the average human heart beats between 60 and 100 times per minute and an ekg machine can be used to detect irregularities in heart rate. Count the number of spikes that are in a 6 second readout and multiply the number by 10 to get an approximate rate. A heart that beats any faster or slower than this may indicate an.
How to read an abnormal ekg. This test measures electrical activity in the heart and provides a graph of the activity for review by a doctor. Irregularities in heart rate the average human heart beats between 60 and 100 times per minute and an ekg machine can be used to detect irregularities in heart rate. Sometimes an ekg abnormality is a normal variation of a heart s rhythm which does not affect your health.

An abnormal ekg is usually classified as such due to a slow or fast heart rate or an irregular beat. For example if there are 7 r waves in a 6 second strip the heart rate is 70 7x10 70. The human heart typically beats at around 60 100 beats per minute. The only side effect of the electrodes according to national institutes of health is a mild rash from irritation. A heart that beats any faster or slower than this may indicate an. This test measures electrical activity in the heart and provides a graph of the activity for review by a doctor.
