What is a delta wave on ECG?
The Delta wave is a slurred upstroke in the QRS complex often associated with a short PR interval. It is most commonly associated with pre-excitation syndrome such as WPW. The characteristic ECG findings in the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome are: A slurred upstroke to the QRS complex (the delta wave)

From the Portal’s Billing tab, patients and family members can see details for both current and past accounts, which include the date of service, total balance, and patient responsibility for each account.
What is Patient and Consumer Health Portal?
The Patient and Consumer Health Portal allows patients and their families to see data from both acute and ambulatory visits to the Hospital. Patients can review visit details and update information. Users also benefit from access to preventative care information and immunizations.
What are integrated features in the Portal?
Integrated features include: Updates to demographic or contact information made in the Profile area of the Portal’s Health Information Management.
Where does the hospital's health information come from?
Your health information comes from our hospital’s electronic health record. It is the most up to date and accurate information that the hospital has for you.
Does Delta Health sell email addresses?
Delta Health does not sell or distribute email addresses and will not use email addresses for any other purpose.
What is a Delta patient advocate?
A Patient Advocate works with patients and their family members to make certain they are satisfied with the services provided by Delta Health’s hospital and clinics.
What is the advocate for patient care?
The Advocate speaks on behalf of patients to department managers or the administration team with the goal of improving patient satisfaction and the quality of care provided throughout the organization. If at any time you have questions, concerns or a complaint about the care or service provided, we encourage you to promptly bring it to our attention by contacting the advocate at 970.874.2287 or by filing a formal grievance by filling out this Grievance form online or downloading and bringing in this Grievance Form.

How to detect delta waves?
Delta waves, like all brain waves, can be detected by electroencephalography (EEG). Delta waves were originally defined as having a frequency between 1 and 4 Hz, although more recent classifications put the boundaries at between 0.5 and 2 Hz. They are the slowest and highest amplitude classically described brainwaves, although recent studies have described slower (<0.1 Hz) oscillations Delta waves begin to appear in stage 3 sleep, but by stage 4 nearly all spectral activity is dominated by delta waves. Stage 3 sleep is defined as having less than 50% delta wave activity, while stage 4 sleep has more than 50% delta wave activity. These stages have recently been combined and are now collectively referred to as stage N3 slow-wave sleep. During N3 SWS, delta waves account for 20% or more of the EEG record during this stage. Delta waves occur in all mammals, and potentially all animals as well.
What is delta wave?
Delta waves are high amplitude neural oscillations with a frequency between 0.5 and 4 hertz. Delta waves, like other brain waves, can be recorded with electroencephalography (EEG) and are usually associated with the deep stage 3 of NREM sleep, also known as slow-wave sleep (SWS), and aid in characterizing the depth of sleep.
What is the term for the presence of continuous, high-voltage (> 150 V) delta waves seen?
Parasomnias, a category of sleep disorders, are often associated with disruptions in slow wave sleep. Sleep walking and sleep talking most often occur during periods of high delta wave activity. Sleep walkers have also been shown to have more hypersynchronous delta activity (HSD) compared to total time spent in stages 2, 3, and 4 sleep relative to healthy controls. HSD refers to the presence of continuous, high-voltage (> 150 µV) delta waves seen in sleep EEGs. Parasomnias which occur deep in NREM sleep also include sleep terrors and confusional arousals.
What stage of sleep do delta waves appear?
They are the slowest and highest amplitude classically described brainwaves, although recent studies have described slower (<0.1 Hz) oscillations Delta waves begin to appear in stage 3 sleep, but by stage 4 nearly all spectral activity is dominated by delta waves.
What stage is slow wave sleep?
This is a screen shot of a patient during Slow Wave Sleep (stage 3) . The high amplitude EEG is highlighted in red. This screen shot represents a 30-second epoch (30 seconds of data).
When do delta waves disappear?
By the age of about 75, stage four sleep and delta waves may be entirely absent. In addition to a decrease in the incidence of delta waves during slow-wave sleep in the elderly, the incidence of temporal delta wave activity is commonly seen in older adults, and incidences also increase with age.
Do delta waves decrease with age?
Infants have been shown to spend a great deal of time in slow-wave sleep, and thus have more delta wave activity. In fact, delta-waves are the predominant wave forms of infants. Analysis of the waking EEG of a newborn infant indicates that delta wave activity is predominant in that age, and still appears in a waking EEG of five-year-olds. Delta wave activity during slow-wave sleep declines during adolescence, with a drop of around 25% reported between the ages of 11 and 14 years. Delta waves have been shown to decrease across the lifespan, with most of the decline seen in the mid-forties. By the age of about 75, stage four sleep and delta waves may be entirely absent. In addition to a decrease in the incidence of delta waves during slow-wave sleep in the elderly, the incidence of temporal delta wave activity is commonly seen in older adults, and incidences also increase with age.
