    An electrocardiogram (ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart. The ECG detects tiny electrical changes on the skin during the cardiac cycle using electrodes placed on the skin. The ECG machine records these electrical signals over multiple heartbeats and produces an ECG strip that is interpreted by a healthcare professional. The ECG provides information about the heart's rate and rhythm, as well as the timing and appearance of the P, PR, and QRS waves to identify normal sinus rhythm or abnormalities like atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, and asystole.

    Electro cardio grame(ECG)

    By:EZZ Eldeen
    ECG
    Definition :
    is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart
    using electrodes placed over the skin. These electrodes detect the tiny
    electrical changes on the skin during the cardiac cycle.

    Heart electrical conduction system:


    Electrical impulses from your heart muscle (the myocardium) cause your heart
    to beat (contract). This electrical signal begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node,
    located at the top of the right atrium. The SA node is sometimes called the
    heart’s “natural pacemaker.” When an electrical impulse is released from this
    natural pacemaker, it causes the atria to contract. The signal then passes
    through the atrioventricular (AV) node. The AV node checks the signal and
    sends it through the muscle fibers of the ventricles, causing them to contract

    ECG Interpretation:
    records electrical activity in the heart. An ECG machine records
    these electrical signals across multiple heart beats and produces an
    ECG strip that is interpreted by a healthcare professional.
    Kinds of cardiac rhythm
    Normal sinus rhythm:

    Rate:-normal(60_100)

    Rhythm:-regular

    P waves:-normal

    PR interval:-normal

    QRS:-normal

    Atrial fibrilation:

    Rate:-atrial:350bp ;ventricular:slow or fast

    Rhythm:-irregular

    P waves:-not exist

    PR interval:-non

    QRS:-normal
    Ventricular fibrilation:

    .>Chaotic electrical activity no ventricular depolarization or contraction

    > The amplitude and frequency of the fibrillatory activity can be used to define the type of fibrillation as
    coarse, medium, or fine

    Rate:-indeterminate

    Rhythm:-chaotic

    P waves:-non

    PR interval:-non

    QRS:-non

    Ventricular tachicardia:

    > QRS complexes in monomorphic VT have the same shape and amplitude

    Rate:-100-250bpm

    Rhythm:-regular

    P waves:-non
    PR interval:-non

    QRS:-wide

    Sinus tachicardia:

    > Results from increased SA node discharge.

    PR interval:-normal

    QRS:-normal

    Sinus bradecardia:

    >results from slowing of the SA node

    Rate:-slow

    Rhythm:-regular

    P waves:-normal

    PR interval:-normal
    QRS:-normal

    Asystole:

    Rate:-non
