CVPR Week 2: Heart model and ECG Part I Flashcards
Identify


The P wave coincides with?

QRS Complex coincides with?

The T wave coincides with?

How to identify rate on ECG

- look at the rhythm strip
- 1 big box = 0.2 seconds
- 1 little box = 0.04 seconds

Big box method

Find the rate

79 bpm

How to identify the rhythm

- look for a P wave in front of QRS complex
- look for equidistance between different waveforms such as R waves

Rhythm

equidistance between R waves and preceded by P wave

Identify Rate and Rhythm


ECG Intervals

Axis in ECG

really talking about the axis of the ventricles
How to place leads for ECG

Direction of leads

right to left

Lead 1
right arm to left arm

What is this about?


Leads through the heart


Augmented leads
3 listed
- AVF
- AVR
- AVL

AVF Lead location

is the axis normal on an ECG
- because the AVF has an upward R that means there is a downward component
- upright lead in AVR lead 1 means leftward
so the axis is normal

What can we tell about this ECG?


leads locations in the heart

How do cardiologists think about heart leads?


If the depolarization was straight down?


If the AVF is biphasic?

find the lead that gives the least information

AVL travels

Normal and abnormal axis
