ECG Flashcards
What is the classical appearance of RBBB on ECG?
‘M’ in lead V1 ‘W’ in lead V6
In which ECG leads is it normal to have inverted T waves?
V1, III and aVR
Which leads represent the right coronary artery on ECG?
II, III, aVF
Atrial flutter
how can you tell there is LVH on ECG?
- sum of S waves in V1/V2 and R in V5 or V6 > 35mm
- R in aVL >11mm
Ventricular ectopic
(wide complex QRS)
ventricular fibrillation
How does atrial flutter appear on ECG?
Saw tooth p waves
Atrial flutter
How may LVH appear on ECG?
S wave in leads V1 or V2 + R wave in leads V5 or V6 =/> 35mm
Ventricular ectopics
Which are the lateral leads on ECG?
I, aVL, V5 and V6
Complete heart block = 3rd degree heart block
(if your Ps and Qs don’t agree, you’ve got 3rd degree)
First degree heart block
(PR interval more than 200 msecs)
Sinus tachycardia
How does atrial fibrillation appear on ECG?
Irregularly, irregular rhythm plus absence of p waves
Atrial fibrillation
Mobitz type 2
(Some P waves don’t get through)
Wenckebach
(progressive lengthening of PR interval culminating in a dropped QRS)
How much time is represented by one large square on an ECG?
200 msec = 0.2 sec
What is a normal QRS complex duration?
3 small squares
Which are the inferior leads on ECG?
II, III and aVF
