The third and fourth complexes of this ECG show sinus bradycardia at about 50 beats per minute. The remainder of the tracing shows atrial bigeminy with a coupled aberrant atrial premature beat ...

More than 300 million EKGs (short for electrocardiogram, a test that checks heart rhythm and electrical signals of the heart) are conducted around the world each year, according to a study published ...

This ECG shows normal sinus rhythm. There are small narrow Q waves in II-III-AVF that do not fulfill the criteria for “pathologic” Q waves (> 0.2 second or > 5 mV). The QTc (Fridericia’s formula) is ...

A new test has been developed to predict sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients in whom such forecasts were previously impossible. The test uses a combination of nuclear medicine, C-reactive ...

Background Electrocardiography (ECG) is recommended as part of IOC's preparticipation health examination in athletes. The new Seattle criteria for interpreting ECG in athletes are developed with ...

QRS interval widening appears to be highly specific for the diagnosis of hyperkalemia in patients with end-stage kidney disease. ECG changes, in general, have poor sensitivities for hyperkalemia in ...

April 21, 2009 (Durham, North Carolina) — Unrecognized non–Q-wave MI occurs more frequently than silent Q-wave MI in patients with suspected coronary artery disease, a new study has shown [1].

Background The optimal pre-participation screening strategy in competitive athletes is debated. Objective To evaluate the accuracy of cardiovascular screening in NCAA athletes using a standardized ...

Madrid, Spain - 3 May 2015: A new test has been developed to predict sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients in whom such forecasts were previously impossible. The novel method was presented at ...

A new test has been developed to predict sudden cardiac death in hemodialysis patients in whom such forecasts were previously impossible. The novel method was presented at ICNC 12 by Dr Akiyoshi ...
