Electrocardiogram01:29

Electrocardiogram

5.1K
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a critical diagnostic tool that records the electrical signals produced by the heart during each heartbeat. This recording is achieved through electrodes placed strategically on the arms, legs, and chest. The electrocardiograph amplifies these signals and produces 12 distinct tracings, offering a comprehensive understanding of the heart's electrical activity.
Three major waveforms are present in a typical ECG recording: the P wave, the QRS complex, and...

Correlation between ECG and Cardiac Cycle

11.3K
The electrical signals recorded on an electrocardiogram (ECG) occur before the mechanical processes of contraction and relaxation during the cardiac cycle.
A cardiac action potential originates in the SA node and spreads throughout the atria and the AV node in approximately 0.03 seconds. This results in the P wave in an ECG and triggers atrial contraction. The action potential is then briefly slowed at the AV node, allowing the atria to contract and fill the ventricles with blood before...

Area of Science:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Cardiology

Background:

  • Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a significant global health burden, being the primary cause of mortality worldwide.
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) analysis is a crucial, efficient method for assessing various CVDs.
  • Accurate and timely diagnosis of CVDs remains a critical challenge in clinical practice.
