First Look at ECG Flashcards
1
Q
What does a P wave correspond to?
A
Atrial depolarisation
2
Q
What does the QRS complex correspond to?
A
Ventricular dpolarisation
3
Q
What does the T wave correspond to?
A
Ventricular repolarization
4
Q
What is the PR interval?
A
Time from atrial depolarisation to ventricular depolarisation
5
Q
What is the QT interval?
A
The time from ventricle depolarisation until the end of ventricle repolarization
6
Q
Why cant the atrial depolarisation be seen?
A
Because it is covered by the QRS complex
7
Q
What is a STEMI?
A
A ST elevated myocardial infarction
8
Q
What is a NSTEMI?
A
A non-ST elevated myocardial infarction
9
Q
Which is worse a STEMI or a NSTEMI?
A
STEMI
