Researchers have developed an AI tool that can help doctors predict who might develop a potentially fatal heart condition, just from an ECG. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...

If you are a nurse, doctor or other medical professional that deals with cardiac issues or ECG readings, you owe it to yourself and your patients to take an EKG interpretation course. An EKG ...

First-degree ventricular (heart) block affects the electrical signal that makes the heart beat. It causes a delay in a portion of the heart beat and may lead to a slow heart beat. Healthcare ...

Second-degree heart block is a potentially serious but treatable condition affecting the heart’s electrical system. Treatment may require a pacemaker to stabilize the heart’s rhythm. Electrical ...

A team of researchers from Tsinghua University and Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital has introduced a cutting-edge method to improve the interpretation of electrocardiogram (ECG) data. Their ...

In this issue of the journal, Shoji et al showed that isolated non-specific ST-segment and T-wave abnormalities (NSSTTAs) are associated with incident heart failure (HF).1 The authors conducted a ...

Mobitz type I, also known as the Wenckebach block, is a subtype of second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block. Mobitz type I is a type of conduction disorder, which happens when the electrical signals ...

A study led by scientists at King's has revealed how the physical orientation of the heart inside the chest dramatically influences the electrical signals captured in an electrocardiogram (ECG)—a ...

The rhythm is regular at a rate of 132 beats/min. The QRS complexes are wide (0.16 sec). Although the QRS complexes have a morphology that resembles a right bundle branch block (RBBB), with a tall ...
