EKGs Flashcards
LV strain pattern
inverted T and ST depression in V5, V6, I & II due to delayed repolarization
R atrial enlargement finding
P wave height over 2.5mm in I,II or aVF
L atrial enlargement finding
P wave width over 0.12sec in II or ant leads negative P wave in V1 notched (biphasic) P wave
Wellens Syndrome on EKG
T wave inversion in V2 and V3 Due to LAD stenosis
Brugada Syndrome on EKG
RBBB pattern with ST elevation in V1-V3 due to Na+ channel abnormality increased sudden cardiac death risk accentuated with fever or antiarrhythmics
Causes of ST depression (3)
subendocardial infarction positive stress test digitalis
Signs of prior MI on EKG
poor Q wave progression Q wave over 0.4sec (one square) wide inverted T waves
Long QT Syndrome
QT over 1/2 cardiac cycle increased Ventricular arrhythmias
EKG findings with COPD
low voltages R axis deviation multifocal atrial tachycardia
EKG findings with PE
large S wave in I ST depression in II long Q wave in II with T wave inversion
EKG findings with hyperkalemia
no P wave wide QRS peaked T wave
EKG findings with hypokalemia
flat T wave U wave
EKG findings with hypercalcemia
shortened QT
EKG findings with hypocalcemia
prolonged QT
Digitalis effect on EKG
ST depression with a rounded appearance
Signs of digitalis toxicity
premature atrial beats (early sign) PVCs/ventricular bigeminy worsened with hypokalemia
Quinidine toxicity effects on EKG
wide P wave wide QRS ST depression and prolonged QT U waves
Brain insult/stroke on EKG
diffuse inverted T waves prolonged QT
