Q

What are you looking at with 12 lead?

A
  • Each lead provides a picture of the electrical activity of the heart.
  • Does not show actual contraction of the heart, (i.e., PEA)
  • Repolarization & depolarization of the atria & ventricles

Q

What is the signs and symptoms of patient of ACS?

A

ST segment elevation that is equal to or greater than 1 mm in two or more contiguous leads or 2mm in men and 1.5mm in women in V2-V3 and is called ST segment myocardial infarction (STEMI)

Q

bundle branch blocks
* What is it?

A
  • A cardiac conduction abnormality seen on the electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Activation of the left ventricle is delayed, which causes the left ventricle to contract later than the right ventricle

Q

Diagnostic Criteria for Right Bundle Branch Blocks:
* What happens with QRS?
* What is the pattern in V1-V3?
* What happens in lateral leads?

A
  • QRS complex widens beyond 0.12 seconds (in complete)
  • Incomplete blocks can have a narrow qrs
  • RSR pattern in V1 through V3, “M” shaped QRS complex, like rabbit ears
  • Late deep S waves in the lateral leads (I, aVL, V5-V6)

* What happens to ST and T wave?
* What difficult to do what?

A
31
Q

* V1 dominant S wave
* V6 broad, notched R wave (M shaped)

32
Q

34
Q

Where do you look for RBBB? and LBBB?

A
35
Q
  • If QRS duration > 0.12 seconds, it is likely what?
  • If QRS duration > 0.17 seconds,then the ejection fraction is what?
  • What is ejection fraction?
  • Healthy people have an ejection fraction between what?
  • This results from what?
A
  • If QRS duration > 0.12 seconds, it is likely a BBB exists.
  • If QRS duration > 0.17 seconds,then the ejection fraction is 50% at themost.
  • Ejection fraction is the volume percent of blood the heart canpump out.
  • Healthy people have an ejection fraction between 60-75% at rest.
  • This results from reduced contractility because of the increasedtime to depolarize; the contraction is also slow and weak.

T waves are inverted & ECG is otherwise normal.

49

What is stage 4 of pericarditis on EKG?

A

T waves return to uprightposition thus the ECG isback to normal.

Q

Early Repolarization
* Common in who?
* appears as what?
* More prominent in what leads?

A
  • Common in healthy young individuals
  • Appears as mild ST segment elevation that can be diffuse

Early Repolarization
* What happens to ST elevation? (2)
* Absence of what?

Pacemakers
* What should a normal paced rhythm look like?

A
  • Notice the discordance between the QRS complex and T-wave.
  • The deflection of the QRS complex & T-waves should be opposite.
66
Q
