Serum lipids are crucial blood fats for energy storage, cellular structure, and hormone production, primarily consisting of cholesterol, triglycerides, ...
Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
Electrocardiogram Fundamentals
An electrocardiogram, or ECG, uses a standard 12-lead with four-limb electrodes placed on the inner wrists and ankles, creating six limb leads: I, II, ...
ECG Interpretation of Rhythms
ECG Interpretation of Rhythms
An electrocardiogram or ECG captures and analyzes the heart's electrical activity to assess its function, rhythm, and electrical conduction system. ...
ECG Interpretation of Arrhythmias I: Sinus Arrhythmias
ECG Interpretation of Arrhythmias I: Sinus Arrhythmias
Arrhythmia is any disturbance in the heart's rhythm that leads to abnormal heartbeats. These disruptions can compromise the heart's ability to ...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing evaluates cardiovascular function and diagnoses heart conditions by measuring the heart's response to exertion using a ...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System I:Echocardiography
