Q
A

Depolarisation towards a lead

so in V5+V6 ventricular depolarisation causes just o positive deflection. No classic ‘R’ deflection

towards

and vice versa - if the R and S waves are of equal size = depolarisation at right angles to the lead

Q
A

The depolarisation wave spreads from 11 to 5 o’clock

i.e. away from VR and towards II as seen from the front

Q
A

lead II becomes predominantly -ve

(and lead III must be as well, obviously)

*usually due to conduction defect

-30 to +90 (VL to VF)

26
Q
A

-30 to -90

27

+90 to -90 (180degrees)

28
Q
A

R and L hypertrophy

(Right may = PE
Left may = conduction defect)

29
Q
A

from left to right

30
Q
A

Left - more mass.

31
Q
A

upwards (‘R’ wave)

32
Q
A

downwards (‘Q’ wave)

33
Q
A

S wave - negative because the larger muscle mass of left ventricle outweighing the positive which would be seen from right ventricular depolarisation

34
Q
A

R wave - upward deflection as the main mass of the l ventricle is depolarising towards V5/V6

35
Q
A

Where the R and S waves are equal - indicating the position of the interventricular septum.

Right ventricular hypertrophy

39
Q
A

The bottom strip.

40
Q
A

electrical interference - multiple very high frequency spikes . (electric lights/bed motors or mattresses)

41
Q
A

At the beginning of the trace. 1mV = 1cm

43
Q
A

Calm/relax/look out for parkinsons/tremor/shake

44
Q
A

spiky baseline
especially in the limb leads
Shivering = even more pronounced spikes

45
Q
A
  1. Rhythm (normal rate = 50/min
  2. Conduction intervals (normal/abnormal PR interval - 180ms &QRS duration - 120ms)
  3. Cardiac axis
  4. QRS description
  5. ST and T wave description.
