What is a(an) assystole?
Answer:
Asystole is when someone's ecg "flat lines". That high pitch clamour you hear on tv when someone's heart stops.
When a person is contained by asystole, the heart is not beating and have no electrical activity.
Asystole way imperfect or incomplete systole (the contraction phase of the cardiac cycle).
No heart thump or flatline
when a patient is contained by asystole they are dead. no electrical amusement from the heart is being picked up by the monitor.
asystole medium lack of a heartbeat. it can be defined by absenteeism of ekg activity. it can also be defined next to functional examinations like a echocardiogram which can examine real-time motion of the heart. or lack thereof contained by the case of asystole.
basically not hearing a heartbeat is not apposite enough to explain asystole because there might be a heartbeat but it's too half-hearted to produce pulsatile blood flow- thus no heart sounds despite ekg activity.
