CVPR Week 2: Heart model and ECG Part II Flashcards
Objectives

Localization using EKG leads

What leads would represent the inferior portion of heart?
II, AVF, III

What leads would represent the left portion of the heart?
What leads would represent the inferior portion of heart?
- left: AVL, I
- inferior: II, AVF, III

Limb leads vs precordial leads
2D vs 3D

Precordial lead placement
V1 - V6

V1 lead placement

V2 lead placement

V3 lead placement

V4 lead placement

V5 lead placement

V6 lead placement

How to group EKG leads based on the area of the heart?

Which coronary artery supplies the septal wall?
LAD

Which coronary artery supplies the Anterior wall of the left ventricle?
LAD

Which coronary artery supplies the lateral wall of the left ventricle?
Circumflex artery

Which coronary artery supplies the high lateral wall of the left ventricle?
mostly circumflex but sometimes LAD

Which coronary artery supplies the inferior wall of the left ventricle?
Posterior descending artery

How do V1 and V2 represent the septum?

What can an EKG tell us about blood flow to the heart?

What is worse Ischemia, injury (acute) or necrosis
Ischemia >>>> Injury (acute) >>>> Necrosis (chronic)
What to look at to determine a occlusion to the heart
look at the ST segment and T wave
Partial occlusion of a coronary vessel and EKG
EKG manifestations of partial occlusion DO NOT localize!!!
T wave inversions and ST depression
Subendocardial infarct

T wave inversions
- significant if deep, new, QRS is upright
- typically symmetric
- T wave inversions do not always mean ischemia if they are not new, deep, or have been there for awhile

ST Depression

Complete occlusion of a coronary artery and EKG
transmural infarct = full-thickness infarct

transmural infarct AKA
full-thickness infarct
Manifestations of a complete coronary artery occlusion
Hyperacute T waves minutes to hours
will progress to
ST elevation
accompanied by Q-Wave when the tissue is dead
These do localize

Hyperacute T waves
- V2 to V4 on this EKG so this is probably a LAD complete occlusion
- only occurs for minutes to an hour

ST Elevation

- J point is the junction between the termination of the QRS complex and the beginning of the ST segment
- TP segment used as a baseline to compare
- What classifies as ST elevation on an EKG
- New ST elevation at the J point in two contiguous leads of >0.1 mV in all leads other than leads V2-V3
- For leads V2-V3 the following cut points apply
- .2> mV in men over 40
- .25mV in men
- .15 mV in women

What area of heart and what vessel?

V2-V6 and I, AVL, so this is probably the Large LAD occlusion so anterior wall and lateral wall
Q waves

Mechanism of Q waves
caused by septal depolarization

Pathologic Q waves

Normal vs pathologic Q waves
deep or wide pathologic
shallow and skinny probably normal

Are there Q waves?

V2-V4 has died
Reciprocal changes seen with STEMI

ST depression of the opposite side of the infarct called reciprocal changes
most of the time see these changes in the inferior leads if in the anterior

Reciprocal changes diagram
infarct in inferior portion will see reciprocal changes in I and AVL

Posterior MI
