Which of the Following Would Be Most Likely to Be

Question

Which of the following would be most likely to be determined with a patient's ECG recording?
A)A heart murmur
B)Stroke volume
C)Cardiac output
D)Blockage of conduction of electrical signals between the atria and the ventricles
E)A leaky atrioventricular valve

Accepted Answer

ECG recording can detect and diagnose blockages in the conduction of electrical signals between the atria and the ventricles, which can cause a variety of cardiac arrhythmias.

Answer: A and E
 While an ECG recording can provide information on the overall function of the heart, such as cardiac output, it is not typically used to diagnose specific structural issues like heart murmurs or leaky valves. Those would typically be diagnosed with other imaging tests.
