How The Anger Management Test Works
February 24th, 2010 by the writerIf you have ever round yourself snapping at your loved ones for trivial reasons or are prone to “road rage” tantrums, it’s very possible that you have an anger management problem. In the past, you may had to have gone to therapy to determine your problem. Today, however, there is an actual anger management test that you can take.
The technology of this test rests on the electrocardiogram, or ECG, used in administrating physical stress tests. Dr. Rachel Lampert, associate professor of cardiology and electrophysiology at Yale University. has been heading up a project that studies T-wave alternans. T wave alternans, also known as TWA, are periodic beat-to-beat variations in the amplitude of the T wave in an electrocardiogram (ECG).
If you look at a printout of an electrocardiogram, you’ll see the ups and downs of the electrical activity of the beating heart. The last up, or bump, is the T-wave.
