Yes the information on ECG basics is based off of healthy hearts/patients. It is absolutely possible to have a normal axis with a prior inferior MI. Hope this helps.
Implantation of resynchronization and/or defibrillation devices in patients with heart failure: Real-life data from the Síncrone study
The test itself usually only lasts a few minutes, and you should be able to go home soon afterwards or return to the ward if you're already staying in hospital.

This averaging for the common lead and the abstract unipolar lead concept makes for a more challenging understanding and is complicated by sloppy usage of "lead" and "electrode".
Sensors attached to the skin are used to detect the electrical signals produced by your heart each time it beats.
There is a short delay to website allow the ventricles to fill. The ventricles then contract to pump blood to the body and the lungs.
The paper used to record ECGs is standardised across most hospitals and has the following characteristics:
ES can also present as a malignant arrhythmic evolution of an inherited arrhythmic syndrome. Therapeutic interventions depend on the arrhythmic pattern and on the hemodynamic stability of patients. A valid approach to ES requires an understanding of underlying arrhythmia mechanisms, pharmacological treatment, ICD programming, and indications for radiofrequency catheter ablation. The role of catheter ablation in patients with ES is becoming more and more relevant, as a definite treatment of multiple forms of arrhythmias and a complementary intervention in cases of high electrical instability, thus improving prognosis and quality of life in patients with advanced forms of structural heart disease.
The electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a diagnostic tool that is routinely used to assess the electrical and muscular functions of the heart.
Like the standard EKG, it's painless. The electrodes from the monitor are taped to your skin. Once they're in place, you can go home and do all of your normal activities except shower. Your doctor will ask you to keep a diary of what you did and any symptoms you notice.
As with many procedures, your plan may also require you to pay a copay, and you should be able to find out by calling the number on your insurance card.
