ECG
Across
- 4. An arrhythmia where individual muscle fibres contract independently and totally disorganized, such as in the atria or ventricles.
- 6. An increase in ventricular muscle mass that results in increased electrical activity and increased height of the QRS complex.
- 8. The special area of the right atrium where the electrical discharge for the normal heart rhythm originates.
- 9. on the concepts for ECG interpretation, here are 10 important words and clues for your crossword puzzle:
- 10. A type of second-degree heart block characterized by progressive PR interval lengthening until an atrial beat fails to conduct.
- 11. The characteristic early slurred upstroke of the QRS complex seen in pre-excitation syndromes like Wolff-Parkinson-White.
Down
- 1. The process of the ventricular mass returning to its resting electrical state, represented by the T wave on an ECG.
- 2. A descriptive term for a slow heart rhythm, which may be associated with athletic training, hypothermia, or fainting.
- 3. The electrical change associated with muscle contraction, normally initiating in the sinoatrial node for each cardiac cycle.
- 5. Acute myocardial injury typically first indicated by ST segment elevation and the eventual appearance of pathological Q waves.
- 7. A condition often manifested on an ECG by horizontal depression of the ST segment, especially during exercise.
