DECODING ECG PATTERNS: IDENTIFYING ARRHYTHMIAS

Electrocardiograms (ECG), also referred to as EKGs, are powerful tools for evaluating the electrical activity of the heart. A typical ECG displays a series of rhythmic waves and segments that depict the heart's rhythm. Each wave and segment correlates with a specific stage in the cardiac process. However, abnormalities in these patterns can indica

Understanding electrocardiogram (ECG) patterns is crucial for recognizing arrhythmias. These irregular heart rhythms can manifest in a number of ways, each with its own unique characteristics on the ECG tracing. A skilled physician can interpret these patterns to classify the specific type of arrhythmia present. Common types include ventricular tac
