ECG Challenge: Heart Rhythms After Angioplasty and Stenting

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 42 beats/min. The first five QRS complexes are wide (0.14 seconds), with no P waves seen before or after. However, a P wave appears immediately before the fifth QRS ...

What’s the Difference Between an Echocardiogram and Electrocardiogram?

An electrocardiogram and echocardiogram (echo) are both noninvasive imaging tests that look at the functioning of your heart and can help identify heart disease. An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) and ...

ECG Challenge: Uncontrolled Blood Pressure During Routine Exam

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 95 beats/min. The QRS complex has a normal duration (0.08 sec) and morphology, with an axis between 0° and +90° (positive QRS complex in leads I and aVF). There is ...

HeartBeam’s Algorithm Synthesizes a 12-Lead ECG Output in a Credit-Card-Sized Device

Twelve-lead ECGs, although standard in hospitals, can be bulky and impractical for home use. On the other hand, Apple Watch’s ECG app is easy to use, but it is limited in what it can detect because it ...
