Answer to Question 1

A
Sensitivity refers to the extent to which an artificial pacemaker recognizes intrinsic cardiac electrical activity.

Answer to Question 2

A
The QT interval is measured from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave. In the absence of a Q wave, the QT interval is measured from the beginning of the R wave to the end of the T wave. The term QT interval is used regardless of whether the QRS complex begins with a Q or R wave.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
