Which of the following option is correct regarding the sensitivity of an electrocardiograph?(a) 10 mm/mV(b) 15 mm/mV(c) 20 mm/mV(d) 25 mm/mVI have been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.The question is from Biotelemetry Application on Wimax Networks topic in division Biomedical Telemetry of Biomedical Instrumentation

Answer»

Correct option is (a) 10 mm/mV

For explanation I would say: Time measurements and heart rate measurements are made HORIZONTALLY on the electrocardiogram. Electrocardiograms are almost invariably recorded on graph paper with horizontal and vertical lines at 1 mm INTERVALS with a thicker line at 5 mm intervals. Amplitude measurements are made vertically in millivolts. The sensitivity of an ELECTROCARDIOGRAPH is typically set at 10 mm/mV.
