ECG
 Shows electrical pattern generated by
 heart as it’s activated from atrium to
 ventricle
    Muscle undergoes depolarization and
     repolarization during each cardiac cycle
 Leadsprovide us with 3D vectors that
 indicate direction of depolarization
    Looking at different projections in different
     directions of body
3




   Cardiac
    depolarization
    spreads from upper
    right to lower left (in
    reference to the
    body as a whole),
    considering the tilt of
    the heart.
   This is important in
    understanding the
    various ECG lead
    tracings

Pacemakers of the Heart
 SA Node - Dominant pacemaker with an
 intrinsic rate of 60 - 100 beats/minute.

 AV  Node - Back-up pacemaker with an
 intrinsic rate of 40 - 60 beats/minute.

 Ventricular cells - Back-up pacemaker
 with an intrinsic rate of 20 - 45 bpm.

  The ECG Paper

     One large box - 0.20 s
 Vertically
     One large box - 0.5 mV

        sec                       sec


  Every  3 seconds (15 large boxes) is
   marked by a vertical line.
  This helps when calculating the heart rate.
 NOTE: the following strips are not marked
   but all are 6 seconds long.
The “PQRST”

             P wave - Atrial
                        depolarization
              QRS – Ventricular
              depolarization
             T wave – Ventricular
              repolarization

        11
The PR Interval
   Atrial depolarization
             +
   delay in AV junction
(AV node/Bundle of
 His)
(delay allows time for the
 atria to contract before
 the ventricles contract)


                             12

 The ECG Tracing: Waves
 P-   wave
      Marks the beginning of the cardiac cycle and
       measures the electrical impulse that causes atrial
       depolarization and mechanical contraction
 QRS-       Complex
      Measures the impulse that causes ventricular
       depolarization
          Q-wave- may or may not be evident on the ECG
          R-wave- first upward deflection following P wave
          S-wave- the first downward deflection following the R-
           wave
 T-   wave
      Marks ventricular repolarization that ends the
       cardiac cycle
14




Intervals and Segments
   P-R interval-
       Time interval for impulse to go from the SA to the AV
        node
       normal 0.12-0.20 secs
   QRS Interval
       Time interval for impulse to go from AV node to stimulate
        Purkinjie fibers
       Less than 0.12 secs
   QT Interval
       Time interval from beginning of depolarization to the end
        of repolarization
       Should not exceed ½ the length of the R-R
   ST segment
       end of the S to the beginning of the T
15



CARDIAC CYCLES




 Recorded    on graph paper.
    Time is measured across (x-axis)
    Voltage is measured up and down. (y-axis)
    Small squares 1mm high 0.04 secs wide
    5 small squares = 1 large square
    1 large square is 5mm high and 0.20 sec wide

Principles of
Electrocardiograph

 Electrocardiograph  – is the instrument that
  records the electrical activity of the heart
 Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the record of
  that activity

ECG Changes: Infarct
   Significant Q-wave where none previously existed
     Why?
        Impulse traveling away from the positive lead
        Necrotic tissue is electrically dead
   No Q-wave in Subendocardial infarcts
     Why?
        Not full thickness dead tissue
        But will see a ST depression
        Often a precursor to full thickness MI
   Criteria
     Depth of Q wave should be 25% the height of the R wave
     Width of Q wave is 0.04 secs
     Diminished height of the R wave

   Understand Reciprocal
    changes
     The posterior aspect of
      the heart is viewed as a
      mirror image and
      therefore depressions
      versus elevations
      indicate MI
     Rarely by itself usually in
      combo
35




Posterior MI
36




Color Coding ECG- SubEndo
 No  color for
  SubEndocardial
  infarcts since they
  are not transmural
 Look for diffuse or
  localized changes
  and non – Q wave
  abnormalities
     T-wave inversions
     ST segment
      depression
37

    Inferoposterior blue and green
    Anteroseptal yellow and green
