This card introduces the ECG (electrocardiogram) for recording heart's electrical activity and lists abnormalities like tachycardia, bradycardia, ectopic beats, and atrial fibrillation.
Tato karta představuje EKG (elektrokardiogram) jako metodu záznamu elektrické aktivity srdce a uvádí příklady abnormalit, jako je tachykardie, bradykardie, extrasystoly a fibrilace síní.
| Front | Electrocardiogram (ECG) 3.1.2(h) |
|---|---|
| Back | - records electrical activity of heart, used to diagnose heart problems - tachycardia (rapid heart beat over 100bpm, e.g while exercising, fear and fever) - bradycardia (slow heartbeat lower than 60bpm e.g in fit people which makes heart beat efficiently) - ectopic heartbeat (extra heartbeats out of rhythm) - atrial fibrillation (example of arrhythmia, which is abnormal rhythm of heat, fast impulse in atria contract fast (fibrillate) but don’t contract properly, only some passed to ventricle which contract less) |
