Q

Where do lead 1, AVL, V5 V6 pick up information and 2,3,AVF and

V1-4?

A
  • 1, AVL, V5 V6 are lateral wall heart
  • 2,3,AVF components in inferior diaphragmatic portion
  • V1-4 pick up activity over anterior portioin

Q

On the ECG each dark line represents __ and each smaller box represents ___.

A
  • 0.20 sec
  • 0.04 sec
17
Q

What is the rate?

A
  • ~125 BPM
  • each big line is 300 150 100 75 60 50 43
  • HR per min =300 divided by # large squares
18
Q

Rate

A
  • physiologic sinus arrythmia, this is normal as you inhale rate increases and exhales as you decrease
  • second R wave ~75 BPM
19
Q

What could be going on if P wave comes after QRS? What is rate?

A
  • SVT
  • Junctional rhythm seen in the picture
  • rate is ~65-70 BPM
20
Q

What is 1 2 and 3 perpendicular to?

A
  • 1 perpendicular to AVF
  • 2 perpendicular to AVL
  • 3 perpendicular to AVR
21
Q

What is axis?

A
  • look at AVF, is it running positive or negative
  • Look at Lead I, is it positive or negative
  • axis is btw 0 and 90 as both are positive
22
Q

Normal axis should have positive deflection of leads ___ &___.

A
  • lead I and aVF
23
Q

Describe what a left axis looks like.

A
  • If lead one is positive and aVF is negative
24
Q

Describe right axis

A
  • negative lead I
  • Positive aVF
25
Q

Lead I is positive and aVF is negative, what is the axis?

A

left axis (-30 to -90)

26
Q

rate? axis?

A

Rate: ~40 BPM

27
Q
