You know how sometimes you learn about something and suddenly you can't stop seeing every instance of it being done completely wrong? Yeah, that's me and ECGs right now. I've learned the structure of a normal ECG output, and so now I can't see (incorrect) fictional ECG output without going "Wait a second, that's not how those work!"
Here's an ECG from a game, with a rough scribbled on normal heartbeat for comparison. Notice how the game's ECG lacks a T wave and seemingly is missing that Q interval (or it has no P wave and 2 RS complexes). This bugs me intensely.
(delete and redrafted because I forgot the image caption)
A minor correction to my post here. Nothing major, but I did get the heartbeat slightly wrong. Q is actually a small downwave at the beginning of the QRS complex. My point still stands, particularly as I got most of the ECG right, but it's worth correcting. Also, there's something called a U wave. Not majorly important, usually doesn't even show up, but, that's there, in case you cared.
@noiob Not necessarily oh no. This is the closest match to that arrhythmia I can find: sinus bradycardia. It can happen in healthy folks (athletes, for instance), though it could also be due to some problem. So, maybe oh no, but maybe fine
@auravulpes I guess arrhythmia makes you immune against becoming a zombie in the RE universe
@noiob Good an excuse as any for not becoming a zombie
Now, that said, it does seem similar to the ECG output corresponding to 3rd degree heart block (shown below). Something tells me, though, that the game devs didn't do that on purpose and kinda just drew what they thought a heartbeat looks like.
