@houseofmedicalski: 🫀 Understanding the Rhythm of Life Ever wondered what those lines on a hospital monitor actually mean? Here is a quick guide to the most common heart rhythms: Normal Sinus Rhythm: A steady, healthy beat between 60 to 100 bpm. Ventricular Tachycardia: The heart is beating dangerously fast. Ventricular Fibrillation: The heart is quivering instead of pumping—a major emergency. Asystole: Also known as a "flatline," where there is no electrical activity at all. 💡 Quick Math Tip: If you’re looking at an ECG strip, you can calculate the heart rate by dividing 1500 by the number of small squares between beats. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is for educational purposes. If you suspect a cardiac emergency, call for help immediately.
