WHAT IS THE AXIS
Right axis deviation
How do you find the exact axis degree on an ekg
Find the lead with the biphasic p wave. The axis is perpendicular
What is a normal PR interval
0.2 sec
Which atria usually enlarged due to severe lung dz
Right atria
Which valve is associated with left atrial enlargement
Mitral
What changes on ekg with RAE
P wave with high amplitude in inferior lead
II, III, AvF
What ekg change with LAE
V1: p wave with large negative deflection
V1 and lead II: long duration of p wave
EKG for RVH
- R axis deviation
- V1: R wave > S wave
- V6: S wave > R wave
What usually causes RVH
Pulmonary dz and congenital heart dz
LVH on EKG
- LAD
2. (R wave in V5/V6) + (S wave in V1/V2) is > 35mm
What usually causes LVH
HTN and valvular dz
What is the bpm of a junctional rhythm
40-60 bpm
How long is a normal QRS complex
0.12 sec
Normal P waves and narrow QRS
Where is the problem coming from
Above the ventricles
No p waves / abnormal p waves
Wide QRS complex
Where is the problem coming from
Ventricles
