Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

In a world where technology reigns supreme, one of the most profound tools in medicine remains the irreplaceable electrocardiogram (ECG). Sinus bradycardia – sinus rhythm below 60 bpm is a sinus bradycardia. An abnormal electrocardiogram can mean many things. Usually does not exceed 160 bpm.

Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG): Defined (San Fran syncope rule) as any new changes when compared to the last ECG or presence of non-sinus rhythm. Thus, if there is documented sinus bradycardia, and no suspicion of high grade AV block, at the time of the syncope, this is very useful. Abnormal ECG – looks for cardiac syncope.
