Electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) Electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) General Description. As the heart undergoes depolarization and repolarization, the electrical currents that are generated spread not only within the heart, but also throughout the body. This electrical activity generated by the heart can be measured by an array of electrodes placed on the body surface.

- rapid depolarization - The change in membrane voltage potential which quickly triggers the action potential and contraction of cardiac muscle cells; the change is due to the opening of voltage-gated fast Na+ channels which allow Na+ ions to enter the cytoplasm causing the resting potential of -90 mV to change to +25 mV in the cell interior.

Anatomy Exam 2 2. Repolarization occurs because... potassium ions continue to diffuse out of the cell after the inactivation gates of the voltage-gated sodium ion channels begin to close. the extra efflux of potassium ions causes the membrane potential to become slightly more positive than the resting value.

Action Potential The repolarization phase of the action potential, where voltage becomes more negative after the +30mV peak, is caused primarily by __________. The opening of voltage-gated K+ channels allows K+ ions to exit the cell, repolarizing the membrane. In other words, the exit of K+ ions makes the membrane potential more negative.

Cardiology Teaching Package In the case of the heart, the SA node recharges whilst the atria are refilling, and the AV node recharges when the ventricles are refilling. In this way there is no need for a pause in heart function. Again, this process takes less than one third of a second. The times given for the 3 different stages are based on a heart rate of 60 bpm , or 1 beat per second. The term used for the release (discharge) of an electrical stimulus is depolarisation, and the term for recharging is repolarisation. So, the 3 stages of a single heart beat are: Atrial depolarisation.

Diastole and Systole Phases of the Cardiac Cycle Cardiac Cycle. The cardiac cycle is the sequence of events that occurs when the heart beats. There are two phases of the cardiac cycle. In the diastole phase, the heart ventricles are relaxed and the heart fills with blood. In the systole phase, the ventricles contract and pump blood to the arteries.here are two phases of the cardiac cycle. In the diastole phase, the heart ventricles are relaxed and the heart fills with blood. In the systole phase, the ventricles contract and pump blood to the arteries.

- Atrial and ventricular depolarization and repolarization are represented on the ECG as a series of waves: the P wave followed by the QRS complex and the T wave. The first deflection is the P wave associated with right and left atrial depolarization. Wave of atrial repolarization is invisible because of low amplitude.

When does the atria contract? At the beginning of the cardiac cycle after they receive an action potential from they synoatrial node. After a short pause, they produce the 'lubb' sound as the atrioventricular valves close to prevent back flow of blood.

Electrocardiogram (EKG, ECG) The recorded tracing is called an electrocardiogram (ECG, or EKG). A typical ECG tracing is shown to the right. The different waves that comprise the ECG represent the sequence of depolarization and repolarization of the atria and ventricles. The ECG is recorded at a speed of 25 mm/sec (5 large squares/sec), and the voltages are calibrated so that 1 mV = 10 mm (2 large squares) in the vertical direction.

Electrocardiography T wave: The T wave represents the repolarization of the ventricles. It is generally upright in all leads except aVR and lead V1. Inverted T waves can be a sign of myocardial ischemia, LVH, high intracranial pressure, or metabolic abnormalities. Peaked T waves can be a sign of hyperkalemia or very early myocardial infarction. 160 ms

Repolarization Repolarization typically results from the movement of positively charged K + ions out of the cell. The repolarization phase of an action potential initially results in hyperpolarization, attainment of a membrane potential, termed the afterhyperpolarization, that is more negative than the resting potential.Repolarization usually takes several milliseconds.he repolarization phase usually returns the membrane potential back to the resting membrane potential. The efflux of K+ ions results in the falling phase of an action potential.

Cardiac Cycle Isovolumetric Contraction. In the second phase of the cardiac cycle both the atrioventricular and semilunar valves of the heart remain closed. At this point, the ventricles begin to contract and although the ventricular myocardial muscle fibers only shorten a little, the intraventricular pressure rises rapidly.

Depolarization Depolarization occurs in the four chambers of the heart: both atria first, and then both ventricles. 1  The sinoatrial (SA) node on the wall of the right atrium initiates depolarization in the right and left atria, causing contraction, which is symbolized by the P wave on an electrocardiogram.

- Classically, the abnormal repolarization results in QT prolongation on the ECG; however, it is now recognized that up to 30% of gene-positive individuals may have a normal corrected QT (QTc) interval at rest (phenotype negative).T and QTc Versus Heart Rate. The QT lengthened as heart rate decreased in an approximately linear fashion, with an average increase of 15 ms per 10-beat decrease in heart rate. The QT interval did not reach a plateau (Figure 1 A).

What does pr stand for in the phrase pr bond? that is a personal recognicance bond. which means you will be released on say a 500 pr bond. but you don't have to put up any money. but if you fail to show for court they will levy that amount on you when the warrant is issued for contempt of court.

EKG Occurs as the continuing contraction of the ventricles increases the pressure in the ventricles and forces the semilunar valves open. At this point, blood is forces out of the ventricles. This interval ends when the ventricles begin to relax, and the semilunar valves close. The closing of the semilunar valves causes a small increase in blood pressure visible as the dicrotic notch on a plot of blood pressure against time.

- An abnormal P wave may indicate atrial enlargement. Atrial depolarization follows the discharge of the sinus node. Normally depolarization occurs first in the right. atrium and then in the left atrium. Atrial enlargement is best observed in the P waves of leads II and V1. Lead II. is oriented parallel to the flow of current through the atrium and is the main P wave vector. V1 is oriented. perpendicular to the flow of current through the atrium. This results in a biphasic P wave, in which the first peak.
