Problem:
Dr. Diamond purchased an older multichannel ECG machine for the office because she needs an occasional ECG done on a patient. The machine does not have a module to interpret the ECG so Dr. Diamond has requested that quick visual heart rate and circle any irregular rhythms before giving the ECG to her for her interpretation. The machine prints out a 10-second ECG with Lead II at the bottom.
1.) Explain how you would compute a visual atrial heart rate and ventricular heart rate.
2.) How would you determine if the heart rhythm is normal or irregular?
