ECG Interpretations Flashcards
P wave
depolarisation of Atria from right to left striating w/ SA node
PR interval
delay to allow ventricle to fill with blood
QRS complex
depolarisation of ventricles
ST segment
beginning of ventricular repolarization
T wave
ventricular repolarization
No P wave
atrial fibrillation
Extra p wave
ectopic beat of atria - premature atrial contraction
Inverted P wave
supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia in atria
Hidden P wave
supraventricular paroxysmal tachycardia in AV node
widened and QRS and inverted T wave
ectopic beats of ventricles
ST depression
ischaemia
ST elevation
infarction
Increased voltage
hypertrophy
right axis deviation, AvF get bigger, while lead I gets smaller
right ventricular hypertrophy
left axis deviation, lead I get bigger but aVF get smaller
left ventricle hypertrophy
