other abnormalities Flashcards
Myocardial infarction ECG changes
t wave peaks followed by t wave inversion st segment elevation appearance of new Q waves
anterior MI
V1 - V6
lateral MI
leads I, AVL, V5 and V6
inferior MI
Leads II, III and AVF
posterior infarction
V1 (ST segment depression and tall R wave)
anterior infarction signs
sinus rhythm V2 - V4 Q waves V4-V6 inverted t waves
anterolateral infarction
sinus rhythm I, II AVL, V3-V5 Q waves V2-V6 have raised ST segments
inferior infarction signs
sinus rhythm III and AVF - Q waves AVL V6 - depressed ST segments
pulmonary embolism signs
I - large S III - Q wave III - inverted T wave
hyperkalaemia
tall tented t wave and wide QRS
hypokalaemia
small t wave and prominent U waves
hypercalcaemia
short QT interval
hypocalcamia
long QT interval, small T waves
einthovens labelling rules for the QRS complex
first positive R any negative before R is Q any negative following R is an S positive following S is known as R1 (r prime)
