First, I would like to say God bless you all. I am in my last semester of nursing school and we are learning how to read EKG's...I just learned it any my head is spinning!:roll
Any way, I know once I start memorizing some stuff it'll make more sense but I was wondering if you guys had any memorization tips you learned along the way to recognize a certain arrythmia or ANYTHING that has to do with EKG's.
This repolarization and depolarization has me a little confused...does repol mean the heart isn ot contracting at the time and depol means it is contracting?
Please help me if you can! Thank you so much guys!
I think to answer your question with a "memorization tip" on repolarization and depolarization would be: the letter "d" comes first and the letter "r" is after. Hence, "depolarization" is first, before the heart beat and "repolarization" is after the heart beat.
