SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on analyzing changes in ECG readings before and after exercise, specifically the T-Q interval and R wave characteristics. The T-Q interval decreases in width post-exercise, indicating a faster heart rate. Additionally, the R wave height increases after exercise due to enhanced depolarization of electrical signals from the Purkinje fibers to the ventricles. Participants emphasize the physiological adaptations of the heart to meet increased oxygen and carbon dioxide demands during physical activity.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ECG waveforms and intervals
  • Knowledge of cardiac physiology and heart rate response to exercise
  • Familiarity with depolarization processes in cardiac conduction
  • Basic research skills for accessing medical literature
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "ECG Changes During Exercise" for comprehensive insights
  • Study the physiological mechanisms of heart rate increase during physical activity
  • Learn about the role of Purkinje fibers in cardiac conduction
  • Explore the significance of the R wave in ECG interpretation
USEFUL FOR

Medical students, cardiology professionals, fitness trainers, and anyone interested in understanding the physiological effects of exercise on heart function and ECG readings.

i Need to analyse the changes to parts of the ECG after exercise in comparison to the heart ecg before exercise. (see attached images).

the questions are:

1. After exercise, the T-Q interval?
I put is no longer visible, but it was wrong.

2. Changes in the R wave after exercise is due to?


Any ideas?

Ok, I've been doing reading about it, but finding it difficult.

For Q1. I am thinking that the T-Q interval has gotten smaller in width, so the pace is going much faster, than when at resting

for q.2. The height of the R wave has increased after exercise, but i don't know what this is due to

Sounds right.

I'm not seeing any difference in height. What happens during exercise? How do the body and the heart adjust to accommodate the higher demand for O2 and CO2 management?
 
And what does the R wave represent? What generates it?

the heart has to pump faster to accommodate; so send the signals throughout to the nodes quicker

the R wave is the depolarization of the electrical signal through from the purkinjee fibres to the ventricles
 
I did a Google search on ECG Changes During Exercise, and got some great hits. One of the first ones was for humankinetics.com, and it should help you a lot. Try the same Google search to find the link. :smile:
