The perfect sensor for fast-paced physiology courses, the EKG Sensor provides students with real-time feedback as they explore the effects of various stimuli on cardiac or muscular activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeart Rate data is reported in beats per minute (BPM), while the voltage (mV) detected from cardiac contractions is intuitively displayed in an EKG trace. The sensor can also be used to study nerve impulses that affect muscles other than the heart, enabling students to study a wider range of physiological phenomena, including reflexes, muscle fatigue and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"\"\u003eEducational Use Only\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThis is not a medical device.

The electrical current travels from the SA node in the right upper chamber of the heart down to the lower chambers, the ventricles, of the heart. The electrical activity always preceded each contraction. Electrodes placed throughout the body record the signal generated from the heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn EKG, also called electrocardiogram or ECG, is a reading of the electrical signal generated from the heart. The EKG shows whether the heart’s rhythm and electrical conduction is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther muscles in the body are also driven by electric signal when tensed.  One can use the EKG to look for stimulus and reflex timing as when striking the Achilles or patellar tendons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"h2\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"condensed product-detail-included mb-0\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"include-qty\"\u003e100x\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"include-desc\"\u003eElectrode Patches\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"include-qty\"\u003e1x\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"include-desc\"\u003ewireless ekg sensor and alligator clips for electrodes\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Science with Mat PTY LTD ABN 35 651 995 318","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46789284790441,"sku":"PS-3236","price":456.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0567\/4074\/1289\/files\/WirelessEKGSensor1.png?v=1770516256","url":"https:\/\/sciencewithmat.com.au\/products\/pasco-wireless-ekg-sensor","provider":"Science with Mat PTY LTD ABN 35 651 995 318","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
