Electrocardiography

The initials 'EKG' in EKG technician stand for electro cardiogram. It follows that the EKG technician is tasked with performing electrocardiograms on patients in order to monitor the condition of a person's cardiovascular system. That said, the specific role of an EKG tech will vary from one industry and institution to another. For instance, EKG technicians working in an emergency room may be called upon to perform additional duties that are slightly different from those of an EKG technician…

An invasive approach including percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) improves clinical outcomes in clients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and in clients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTEACS) (Mehta et al., 2012). Periprocedural major bleeding is a strong autonomous predictor of early and late major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality (Bertrand, Larose, & Rodes-Labau, 2009; Verneugt, Steinhubl, & Hamon, 2011; as cited in Bernat et al.…

is to develop an Electrocardiography (ECG) amplifier circuit from scratch. The main challenges include amplifying the desired week signal in the presence of noise from other muscles and electrical sources. As this semester was about transistors we had to use transistors at some stage in this project. The project was successfully designed and built in two ways: one with solely using operational amplifiers and other using transistors as differential amplifiers. Electrocardiography (ECG)/…

she witnessed the event . She noted that Mr Jones had dizzy spells , shortness of breath on exertion and palpitations years ago . His GP identified a heart murmur and referred him to a cardiologist in his local hospital, blood tests, electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography (ECHO) , followed by a hospital admission for an angiogram were done. Mr Jones was told that he had a leaking valve in his heart and would be referred for the surgery to replace the leaking valve. Mr. Jones…

After obtaining ethical approval from the institutional review board and the hospital research ethics committee, informed consents were taken from all patients. Sixty patients between 20-40 years old, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) I-II, were included in the study at Saad Specialist Hospital, in the period between January 2014 and July 2015. Inclusion criteria for our study were as follows: emergency cesarean needing early delivery in the absence of maternal or fetal compromise…

A few of these are laboratory studies, chest radiography and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), echocardiography, electrocardiography, and cardiac catherization. Common laboratory tests are CBC (complete blood count), biochemical profile, iron studies, and blood gas assessments. The imaging studies can show the congenital heart defects and pulmonary changes (para.1). Treatment…

Case Study 2 Cardiomyopathy is the diseases of the heart muscle (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2016). When a patient is diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, their cardiovascular muscles grow large, dense and firm. Cardiomyopathy causes the heart to become weak due to the growth, which also makes it harder for the organ to pump blood throughout the body and preserve a regular rhythm. These conditions would lead to irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias, and if not treated, will eventually…

Tetralogy of Fallot is a condition in which a combination of four heart defects are present at birth. The condition is usually treated with surgery in childhood. Parents of children with Tetralogy of Fallot should take precautions both before and after their child has surgery to prevent problems related to the condition or its repair from occurring. YOUR CHILD'S SYMPTOMS Your child may have symptoms of Tetralogy of Fallot until a corrective surgery is done. Seek medical care if your child has…

POSTURAL = position of the body ORTHOSTATIC = relating to or caused by an upright posture TACHYCARDIA = increased heart rate SYNDROME = a combination of symptoms Normally, when a person stands up, the heart rate increases by 10 beats per minute or less. With POTS, the increase is often far greater - usually 30 beats per minute or more. Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is a condition in which a change from the supine position to an upright position causes an abnormally large increase…
