ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHY (ECG)

Front

An innate biological electricity and is what makes the heart go.

ELECTRICITY

Front

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, and it is through perturbations in the normal electrical patterns that we are able to diagnose many different cardiac disorders.

Back

EKG

Front

It is made of pacemaker cells, which are intrinsically capable of generating rhythmic electrical impulses at rates that normally range from 60 to 100 beats per minute (bpm).

ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE (NODE OF TAWARA)

Front

The obligatory point of passage for impulses travelling to the ventricles.

Back

ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE

Front

Proximal portion, begins at the AV node and then divides within the ventricular septum to form the right and left bundle branches.

Back

BUNDLE OF HIS

Front

The two bundle branches continue to divide, forming a densely ramified subendocardial system, which propagates the depolarization current throughout the ventricular myocardium.
