From time to time, we like to publish an ECG that is "within normal limits". While ECGs each look slightly different, there are defined parameters that are considered to be normal. Using the taxonomy terms in the Scrollable List provided on this site, you can easily find and compare the "normal" ECGs. This is taken from a 45-year-old male with a lean body type.

BackgroundAcute aortic dissection is a lethal cardiovascular emergency; early diagnosis is critically necessary. Novel serum biomarkers can potentially help in early detection and estimation of postoperative outcomes. Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a critical effector of the Hippo pathway, our aim was to explore the association between YAP and the diagnosis and prognosis of AD.MethodsWe prospectively recruited 110 consecutive chest-pain patients [acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), n=60; ac
