ECG Guide

BIOPAC’s comprehensive ECG Guide provides an introduction to Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) and details topics including:

• ECG Complex
• Electrical and Mechanical Sequence of a Heartbeat
• Systole and Diastole
• ECG Electrode Lead Configurations: Lead I, Lead II, Lead III, 6-lead ECG, 12-lead ECG, precordial leads
• Einthoven’s Triangle
• Heart Sounds
• Ventricular Late Potentials (VLPs)
• ECG Measurement Tools: Mean, BPM, Value, Peak-to-Peak, Delta, Delta T, min, max
• Automated Analysis Routines for extracting, enhancing and adding events to ECG data:
  • Arterial Blood Pressure with ABP Classifier
  • Baroreflex Analysis – Sequence or Slope
  • Hemodynamic analysis routines – Sophisticated algorithms provide on and off-line, beat-by-beat analysis of the primary cardiovascular signals such as blood pressure, cardiac output, left ventricular pressure, and more
  • Locate and isolate ECG complex boundaries and other heartbeat classifications
  • Heart Rate Variability – Fully-automated analysis tool with flexible options for extracting a wide range of HRV and respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA) measures
  • Noninvasive Impedance Cardiography – a comprehensive array of ICG tools for recording parameters associated with virtually any kind of electrical bioimpedance (EBI) monitoring and bioimpedance analysis (BIA)
• Hardware options for wired, wireless, wearable, logged, or MRI protocols with reusable or disposable accessories
• Links to additional tutorial videos and citations
