Sometimes, an abnormal EKG reading is a normal variation in a person’s heart rhythm. In other cases, it may be due to an underlying heart condition or a reaction to medication. An electrocardiogram ...

Doctors may soon be able to diagnose an elusive form of heart disease within seconds by using an AI model developed at University of Michigan ...

An electrocardiogram, also called an ECG or EKG, is a simple and painless test that measures the electrical impulses of your heart to check for signs of heart disease. It's done through small ...

An EKG measures the heart’s electrical activity and can detect various issues, including heart attacks, rhythm abnormalities, and electrolyte imbalances. Seek immediate medical help if you experience ...

A specialist tells how to interpret subtle changes on the ECG, including those caused by two life-threatening syndromes you might otherwise miss. Reading ECGs is like learning to appreciate art—it is ...

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This makes regular management and treatment of heart disease ...

This ECG meets two criteria for ventricular tachycardia. AV dissociation appears to be present. Examine the rhythm strip in lead V1 and intermittently a P wave will correspond just prior to the QRS ...

The diagnosis is sinus rhythm with interpolated premature ventricular complexes, in a trigeminal pattern, with retrograde concealed conduction. The rhythm is irregular, but there is a repeating ...

This 81 year old woman presents to her GP with blackouts lasting a few seconds. What does her ECG show? A Sinus rhythm with Mobitz I second degree (Wenckebach) AV block The ECG shows consistent p ...

The ECG shows regular P waves at 60 beats per minute (bpm) with no conduction to the ventricles. The ventricular rate is about 70 bpm with QRS duration of 0.20 and a left bundle branch block (LBBB) ...

Paired narrow QRS complexes, each preceded by a P wave, certainly raise the possibility of atrial bigeminy. But there are other causes of paired QRS complexes during sinus rhythm. One should look ...
