Q

Left axis deviation of MEA per this class? what about textbook def?

<0 degrees

Q

Right axis deviation of MEA per this class? what about textbook def?

A

anything more than 59 degrees

> 90 degrees

31
Q

Normal deviation of MEA in this class? What about textbook definition?

A

59 degrees

0 to 90 degrees

32
Q

Left axis deviation means

A

the heart is tilted towards left arm (counter-clockwise)

33
Q

Right axis deviation means

A

The heart is tilted towards right arm (clockwise)

34
Q

What can swing axis one direction or other?

A

Bundle branch block, depending which side

35
Q

If you have COPD/huge lungs, what happens to axis?

A

Heart is pointing straight up and down, 90-degree axis

36
Q

If we took all the air out of our lungs, what happens to axis?

A

Left axis deviation

37
Q

If we took a huge deep breathe, what happens to axis?

A

Right axis deviation

38
Q

If textbook tells you the MEA is -90 degrees, it means its also

A

270 degrees

-90 would just mean counterclockwise from 0 degree

270 is the clockwise orientation from 0 degree

39
Q

Counter-clockwise means the degree is going to be

A

negative

40
Q

Clockwise means the degree is going to be

A

positive

41
Q

right wall of right ventricle will be ________, why?

A

thinner because it only pumps against the pulmonary circulation

42
Q

Left ventricle will be ____, why?

A

Thicker, thats why it takes longer time for action potential, also bc its furthest away from AV node, pumps against more pressure.

43
Q

Direction of depolarization, and starting at where?

A

Interventricular septum, goes up and around the ventricles to the inside of ventricle and outside of ventricle, and through the ventricle walls

44
Q

Why is P-wave positive?

A

Electrons are moving towards lead II during depolarization

45
Q

If repolarization started at SA node, what would the deflection be?

A

Negative

46
Q

The walls of atria are very _____ compared to ventricles

A

thin

47
Q

Why does atrial repolarization get hidden?

A

QRS of ventricles is much stronger, hiding the repolarization of smaller atrial muscles

48
Q

If we had action potentials being generated at AV node, what can happen to P-wave?

A

Negative deflection if AP is going backwards

49
Q

If the atrial t-wave was visible, would it be positive or negative?

A

Negative, because repolarization happens in same direction

50
Q

Einthovens law

A

magnitude of Lead I + lead III = magnitude of Lead II

51
Q

order of the 3 leads, what is the order of magnitude of EKG reading be in a healthy heart from largest to smallest?

A

Largest: Lead II
Middle: Lead III
Smallest: Lead I

52
Q

If the MEA is -150 degrees, what would be the magnitude detected in Lead III? Why?

A

0 degrees; its perfectly perpendicular to the 120 degree angle of lead III

53
Q

If the MEA is -90 degrees, what would be the magnitude detected in lead I?

A

0 degrees; its perfectly perpendicular to the 0 degree angle of lead I

54
Q

What are the angle degrees of Lead II? Positive and negative?

A

+60 degrees, + 240 degrees

-300 degrees, -120 degrees

55
Q

What are the angle degrees of Lead III? Positive and negative?

A

+120, + 300

-60, -240

56
Q

What are the angle degrees of lead I? Positive and negative?

A

0 and +180

0 and -180

57
Q

If the MEA is right axis deviated, whats the direction of deflection in lead I?

A

negative

58
Q

If the MEA is left axis deviated to 20 degrees, whats the direction of deflection for lead III?

A

negative deflection

59
Q

If the MEA is left axis deviated to 35 degrees, whats the direction of deflection for lead III?

A

Positive

60
Q

what degree range will all 3 leads be positive?

A

Lead III needs to be between >30 degrees and <210 degrees
Lead II needs to be between >-30 and <150 degrees
Lead I needs to be between >-90 and <90

Therefore, for all 3 to be positive, the angle of MEA needs to be between 31 and 89 degrees.

61
Q

What angle does Lead III need to be positive?

A

Lead III needs to be between >30 degrees and <210 degrees

62
Q

What angle does Lead II need to be positive?

A

Lead II needs to be between >-30 and <150 degrees

63
Q

What angle does Lead I need to be positive?

A

Lead I needs to be between >-90 and <90

64
Q

The net deflection in lead II will have to equal

A

the net deflection of lead I and III

einthovens law

65
Q

When using einthovens law, you MUST include the ___ deflection of each lead.

A

NET

subtract the negative deflection from the positive deflection for EACH lead!

66
Q

Once you get past 50% depolarization, how do the QRS waves and the arrow on destructured einthovens triangle react?

A

Still positive, but just less positive than before

arrow is shorter

67
Q

Is the endocardium depolarized or resting here?

A

Resting. Only the interventricular septum is depolarized at this exact moment.

68
Q

Where will the direction be towards? What will the leads read? What wave is this most likely?

A

Up towards left arm; lead III is very negative, lead II is very slightly negative, and lead I is still positive; likely S wave

69
Q

What are the leads reading right here?

A

Absolutely nothing. The heart is completely depolarized, there is no electron movement.

70
Q

Will lead I read an S-wave?

A

likely not, as lead I should be seeing positive current during S-wave.

71
Q

Bundle branches will depolarize the ______

A

little slice of tissue of LEFT ventricular side depolarizes first, then sending current toward right arm, creating that negative deflection shown in Q-wave

72
Q

Is the Q-wave positive or negative in lead III?

A

Positive, cause its moving to the right side of the body
