Braxton's notation system
Braxton's notation system is a way to graphically represent electrical activity in the heart, particularly for diagnosing arrhythmias. It uses symbols—specifically, letters and numbers—to denote different types of waves and their timing within a heartbeat cycle. By standardizing how signals are labeled and arranged, the system helps healthcare professionals quickly interpret complex heart rhythms, making it easier to identify abnormalities. Essentially, it provides a clear, organized map of the electrical signals, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for cardiac issues.
