Hypothesis
If someone with a heart defect are monitored by an ECG machine, then the ECG will be abnormal when compared to the ECGs of healthy heats.
Materials
In order to test this experiment, an ECG machine will be necessary to measure the ECG of individuals with a heart defect and individuals with healthy hearts. It will also be necessary to have a program called Biopac to see the reading on a laptop. Additionally, volunteers with a healthy heart and heart defects will be needed to participate in this experiment.
Methods In this experiment, a 100-total people with be tested for data. The number of individuals with will be 50/50 so that way the division of the individuals is split evenly for more acute data purposes …show more content…
Certain types may become dangerous in the exercise portion of this experiment. The servility of one’s heart defect might need to be taken into consideration in this type of experiment. The varying height, weight, and age difference could be hard to control when taking the data. It also will be hard to control the effect of other health issues beside those of the heart which could have a possibility to create problems in the data. An example of this would-be lung function because it could affect how much oxygen is available to the heart thus effect the ECG measurements. In the future, it might be a good idea to consider a certain type of heart defect based on the results on the experiment described. Some follow up questions would be: How will different heart defects be different in the ECG measurements? How will serve cases react to such an experiment? Is it ethical to ask these volunteers to participate if there is risk to their health? If the data supports my hypothesis. Then heart defects will create abnormities in an ECG measurement. If my hypothesis is incorrect, than heart defects will not create abnormities in ECG
