An agonal heart rhythm is a variant of asystole with a heart rate is less than 20 bpm, without P waves and with wide, bizarre QRS complexes seen on the electrocardiogram. Clinically, an agonal rhythm is regarded as asystole and should be treated equivalently, with cardiopulmonary resuscitation. As in asystole, the prognosis for a patient presenting with this rhythm is very poor.

Incredible! This blog looks just like my old one! It's on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Outstanding choice of colors!
