ECG Analysis Flashcards
Narrow complex tachycardia is called what?
SVT
Rhythm has shark tooth like atrial activity, what is it?
Atrial Flutter
The R wave is positive in lead I and negative in Lead aVF, what axis is it?
Left axis deviation
The QRS complex width is narrow, it is below?
0.12 s
The normal range for the PR interval is?
0.12 - 0.2s
There is elevation present in leads V1, V2, V3 and V4 and no reciprocal changes. What STEMI is this?
Anteroseptal
There is elevation in leads II, III and aVF and reciprocal changes in leads I, V6 and aVL. What STEMI is this?
Inferior
You notice depression in leads V3 and V4 but no other ST changes, what could you do to investigate further?
Change V3 and V4 to same position on posterior side
You notice an M pattern in V1 and a W in V6, what could this indicate?
Right bundle branch block
The pt is young and their ECG shows universal ST elevation, what is the most likely cause of this finding?
Pericarditis
There an S wave present in V1, a Q wave and an inverted T wave in V3. What could this finding indicate?
Pulmonary embolism
The T wave is pronounced (peaky), what might this suggest?
Early stages of MI/STEMI
The patient’s rhythm shows no relation between the P wave and the QRS complexes and is irregular. What is the most likely cause?
3rd degree AV block
You noticed the patient has a consistently increased PR interval but each P wave precedes a normal QRS. What is the most likely cause?
1st degree AV block
The patient has a weak pulse, a rate of 230 and a wide QRS complex on their ECG, what rhythm are they in?
VT
