What is an EKG?
•The electrocardiogram (EKG) is a representation of the electrical events of the cardiac cycle.•Each event has a distinctive waveform •the study of waveform can lead to greater insight into a patient’s cardiac pathophysiology.

With EKGs we can identify
ArrhythmiasMyocardial ischemia and infarctionPericarditisChamber hypertrophyElectrolyte disturbances (i.e. hyperkalemia, hypokalemia)Drug toxicity (i.e. digoxin and drugs which prolong the QT interval)
![Page 8: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Contraction of any muscle is associated with electrical changes called depolarization
These changes can be detected by electrodes attached to the surface of the body

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.

Normal T wave is asymmetrical, first half having a gradual slope than the second
Should be at least 1/8 but less than 2/3 of the amplitude of the R
T wave amplitude rarely exceeds 10 mm
Abnormal T waves are symmetrical, tall, peaked, biphasic or inverted.
T wave follows the direction of the QRS deflection.
![Page 58: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
1. Total duration of Depolarization and Repolarization
2. QT interval decreases when heart rate increases3. For HR = 70 bpm, QT<0.40 sec. 4. QT interval should be 0.35 0.45 s,5. Should not be more than half of the interval
between adjacent R waves (RR interval).

Determining the Heart Rate
Rule of 300/1500
10 Second Rule
![Page 62: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Rule of 300
Count the number of “big boxes” between two QRS complexes, and divide this into 300. (smaller boxes with 1500)
for regular rhythms.
![Page 63: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
What is the heart rate?
(300 / 6) = 50 bpm
![Page 64: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
What is the heart rate?
(300 / ~ 4) = ~ 75 bpm
![Page 65: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
What is the heart rate?
(300 / 1.5) = 200 bpm
![Page 66: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
The Rule of 300It may be easiest to memorize the following table:
No of big boxes
Rate
1 300
2 150
3 100
4 75
5 60
6 50
![Page 67: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
10 Second Rule
EKGs record 10 seconds of rhythm per page,
Count the number of beats present on the EKG
Multiply by 6
For irregular rhythms.
![Page 68: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
What is the heart rate?
33 x 6 = 198 bpm
![Page 69: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
![Page 70: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Calculate the heart rate
![Page 71: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
The QRS Axis
The QRS axis represents overall direction of the heart’s electrical activity.
Abnormalities hint at:
Ventricular enlargement
Conduction blocks (i.e. hemiblocks)
![Page 72: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
The QRS AxisNormal QRS axis from -30° to +90°.
-30° to -90° is referred to as a left axis deviation (LAD)
+90° to +180° is referred to as a right axis deviation (RAD)
![Page 73: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Determining the Axis
The Quadrant Approach
The Equiphasic Approach
![Page 74: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Determining the Axis
Predominantly Positive
Predominantly Negative
Equiphasic
![Page 75: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
The Quadrant Approach1. QRS complex in leads I and aVF
2. determine if they are predominantly positive or negative.
3. The combination should place the axis into one of the 4 quadrants below.
![Page 76: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
The Quadrant Approach• When LAD is present, • If the QRS in II is positive, the LAD is non-pathologic or the
axis is normal • If negative, it is pathologic.
![Page 77: ECG BASICS IN DETAIL](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022020110/55a204c61a28abf3648b45a8/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
