P wave has a notch is indicative of
left partial hypertrophy
p mitrale
associated with mitral valve disease
p wave is tall and peaked
right atrial hypertrophy
p pulmonale- associated with pulmonary disease
St elevation
II, III, AVF
inferior MI-RCA
st elevation
V1-V4
anterior
anterior septal
LAD
St elevation leads V5,V6, I, aVL
lateral
LCX (sometimes LAD)
st depression in V1,V2
posterior MI associated with RCA and RCA
fixed or transient ST segment elevations (fixed changes suggest acute MI)- what should you consider
LV aneurysm
Pericarditis
Prinzmetal angina
early repolarization
WPW
poor R wave progression is used to describe what?
R waves that decrease in size from V1-V4
who might you expect to see an R wave normal variation in
young women
what might you think is wrong when you see a R wave progression and it is NOT a young women
