What would be an effortless opening to count the number of cardiac cycles within the a given a strip of an an EKG?
Answers: The quickest and simplest means of access I've seen is as follows (though it's an approximation):
1) Find a QRS complex that falls on or close to a bold line (a smudge of the big square). Mentally label that smudge "300".
2) Count the number of big squares (N) until you hit the next QRS.
Divide, 300/N and you enjoy the rate!
