11. Q wave
Pathological if
>40 ms wide
>2mm deep
>0.25% QRS
Present in leads v1-v3
> 2mm Can be normal in leads III /avR
12. R wave in V1
RVH - PE
Posterior MI
RBBB
HOCM
WPW
Dextrocardia
Normal in Kids
13. R Wave
R wave in AVR
Na channel blockade
VT
Dextrocardia
Limb lead reversal
R wave
progression
R wave <3mm in V3
Signifies
anteroseptal MI
LVH
14. Left Ventricular hypertrophy
Voltage + non
voltage
Muscle wall thickens
Leading to increased S wave
amplitude in right sided leads
Increased R wave amplitude
in left sided leads
Prolonged depolarisation
Repolarisation abnormalities
in lateral leads
Causes
HTN
AR/AS
MR
HOCM
15. LVH
voltage
S in V1 + R in V5/V6
> 35mm
AVL R wave 11mm
Non voltage
ST depression/T
wave inversion in
lateral leads
Increased R wave
peak time > 50msec
in V5 V6
17. RVH
Right axis
Dominant R in V1 > 7mm or RS ratio >1
Dominant S in V6 > 7mm or RS ratio <1
RV strain – ST depression in V1-4 and
inferiorly
27. QT
Ventricular depolarisation and repolarisation
Calculate in lead 2 or V5 V6
Include U waves
440 msec for women 450msec for men
Prolongs at slower HR
QT> 500 increased risk of toursades
Bezetts formula accurate over HR 60-100
HR nomogram for toxicology for risk of toursades
30. T waves
Inverted in V1 and AVR
Can be – flat, biphasic, inverted, camel
humped or hyperacute
Dynamic change most important
Don’t miss Wellens syndrome
39. VT or SVT with abberancy
If >35 or Hx of IHD – likely VT
Look for
Width > 160msec QRS VT likely
Concordance
Fusion beats
Capture beats
Right/left axis
AV dissociation – p waves notching the QRS
First rabbit ear taller RSR1
40.

43. Children
Right sided dominance as infants
Should be normal by age 3-4
Rate age dependent
Inverted T waves V1-4 can be normal
Infant QT 490
