Q

What does the T-wave represent?

A

Represents the return to the resting state (repolarization) of the ventricles. It normally starts at the isoelectric line, rises gradually & then returns to the isoelectric line

  • Normally appear in Leads I, aVL, V5, V6
20
Q

What are some characteristics of pathologic Q-waves?

A
  • Prolonged duration > 0.20 sec (1 mm)
  • > 2 mm deep (2 large blocks)
  • > Depth 25% - 33% of QRS amplitude

Q

What type of rhythm is this?

A

1st degree heartblock

25
Q

What does the QT-interval reprsent?

A

Represents time between onset of ventricular depolarization & the end of ventricular repolarization, Normal QT Interval= Usually < 0.40 seconds depending on HR

26
Q

What does the p-wave represent in the qrs complex?

A

atrial depolarization

27
Q

What type of rhythm is this?

A

Atrial flutter

28
Q

What does the ST segment represent?

A

represents the time between ventricular depolarization & repolarization of the ventricles; normally isoelectric

30
Q

In what order does an electrical impulse travel down the cardiac conduction system?

A
  1. SA node
  2. AV node
  3. Bundle of His
  4. Intervenricular septum
  5. Purkinje fibers
32
Q

What does the QRS complex represent?

A

It represents spread of the electrical impulse through both ventricles.
