B ’ B • The atria and ventricles are electrically isolated
from one another and all electrical signals pass
through the AV node (in a normal, healthy heart)
• The SA node is the main pacemaker of the heart –
if uncontrolled it will generate a HR of 100bpm
• Sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibres
innervate the SA node to control heart rate
• If the SA node were to fail, pacemaker cells in the
AV node and His-Purkinje system take over (at a
much slower rate)

• Individual myocytes
create electrical
activity that results in a
VECTOR
• If you were to take the
‘average’ direction of
all of these vectors,
you can calculate the
AXIS
• Imagine the ECG leads
as cameras
• How the wave appears
will depend on the
angle of the ‘camera’
in relation to the axis
• An axis travelling
directly towards an
ECG lead will give a
positive wave

ECG Indications
• Chest pain and/or dyspnoea that is not readily explained
• Unstable patients, where the cause is not immediately known
• TLoC or first presentation seizure
• Unexplained falls in the elderly
• Palpitations
• Abnormal pulse (<40, >150, newly irregular)
• Drug overdoses & recreational drug use
• Diabetics with unexplained symptoms
A normal ECG does not rule out acute coronary syndrome!

on the arrow head
looking back at the heart
Augmented views
(aVR/aVL/aVF) are just
views that are calculated
by the machine, as
opposes to ‘true’ views
