  2. Hypercalcaemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercalcaemia

    An Osborn wave, an abnormal EKG tracing that can be associated with hypercalcemia. Abnormal heart rhythms can also result, and ECG findings of a short QT interval [26] suggest hypercalcaemia. Significant hypercalcaemia can cause ECG changes mimicking an acute myocardial infarction. [27]

    Vitamin D levels: low vitamin D levels are found. Normal vitamin D levels eliminate primary hypercalcemia. ECG intervals. Electrocardiograms : An ECG can also be used to diagnose MAS. The following findings related to hypercalcemia could appear on an ECG: [13] Short QT interval: most commonly seen as short OoT or OaT changes.

  4. U wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_wave

    According to V. Gorshkov-Cantacuzene: "The U wave is the momentum carried by the blood in the coronary arteries and blood vessels". [4] [5] [6]The resistivity of stationary blood is expressed as () = | (+), where is a coefficient, and is the hematocrit; at that time, as during acceleration of the blood flow occurs a sharp decrease in the longitudinal resistance with small relaxation times.

    The predominant symptoms of hypercalcemia are abdominal pain, constipation, extreme thirst, excessive urination, kidney stones, nausea and vomiting. [ 3 ] [ 14 ] In severe cases where the calcium concentration is >14 mg/dL, individuals may experience confusion, altered mental status, coma, and seizure.

  6. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG [a]), a recording of the heart's electrical activity through repeated cardiac cycles. [4] It is an electrogram of the heart which is a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart [ 5 ] using electrodes placed on the skin.

  7. QT interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QT_interval

    These changes make it harder to compare QT intervals measured at different heart rates. To account for this, and thereby improve the reliability of QT measurement, the QT interval can be corrected for heart rate (QTc) using a variety of mathematical formulae, a process often performed automatically by modern ECG recorders.

    Hypercalcemia occurs most commonly in breast cancer, lymphoma, prostate cancer, thyroid cancer, lung cancer, myeloma, and colon cancer. [2] It may be caused by secretion of parathyroid hormone-related peptide by the tumor (which has the same action as parathyroid hormone), or may be a result of direct invasion of the bone, causing calcium ...
