Researchers have developed an AI tool that can help doctors predict who might develop a potentially fatal heart condition, just from an ECG. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

This ECG shows ventricular pacing. Note the pacer spike prior to each QRS complex, most apparent in leads V5 and V6. The P waves appear sinus in origin and have no association with the QRS complexes ...

A team of researchers from Tsinghua University and Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital has introduced a cutting-edge method to improve the interpretation of electrocardiogram (ECG) data. Their ...

If you are a nurse, doctor or other medical professional that deals with cardiac issues or ECG readings, you owe it to yourself and your patients to take an EKG interpretation course. An EKG ...

The QRS complex is irregular and coarse "fibrillatory waves" are present (see atrial fibrillation review by clicking below) indicating the presence of atrial fibrillation. There is quite a slow ...

First-degree heart block is the mildest type and often requires no treatment. Third-degree heart block is the most severe and often needs a pacemaker to regulate the heartbeat. Many different causes ...

Complete heart block means that there’s a complete separation of electrical activity between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. Without prompt medical attention, it can be fatal. Your heart ...

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 block is a disruption in the electrical signals that control your heart. Your heart depends on a steady flow of electrical signals that start in the heart’s upper chambers (atria). The signals ...

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 132 beats/min. The QRS complexes are wide (0.16 sec). Although the QRS complexes have a morphology that resembles a right bundle branch block (RBBB), with a tall ...
