CARDIAC CONDUCTION
![Page 5: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
CARDIAC CONDUCTION
How does conduction appear on an ECG?
Cardiac conduction results in the mechanical beating of the heart. Mechanical beating is created by electrical
impulses moving throughout the conduction system
Specific waves that appear on an ECG correspond both to the mechanical and the electrical depolarization (or repolarization) of a particular area of the heart.

ECG INTERPRETATION
![Page 15: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
LABEL THE ECG - REVIEW
P – Wave: Atrial Depolarization.
• Can be positive, biphasic, negative.
QRS Complex: Ventricular Depolarization.
• Q – Wave: 1st negative deflection wave before R-Wave.
• R – Wave: The positive deflection wave.
• S – Wave: 1st negative deflection wave after R – wave.
T – Wave: Ventricular Repolarization.
• Can be positive, biphasic, negative.
![Page 16: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
INTERVAL MEASUREMENT
Time between waves is an important characteristic in determining a normal heart rhythm (measured in milliseconds). An interval outside of the normal duration can be an indicator of heart problems.
Two key intervals in particular aid in the interpretation of ECGs.
1. PR interval: Normal is 120 – 200ms
2. QRS interval: Normal is defined as
60 – 100ms, but an interval up to
120ms can be considered clinically
normal.
![Page 17: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
READING ECG SQUARESINTERVALS & TIMING
Horizontal axis – time:
Each small square = 40 ms
Each block = 200 ms (5 each 40 ms squares)
Converting this to a rate in bpm:
1 min = 60,000 ms, so:
60,000/ms = bpm
60,000/600ms = 100 bpm
Pacemakers and ICDs calculate intervals (ms), not in rates (bpm)
![Page 18: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CALCULATING HEART RATE
1) Measure Cycle Length (CL). 1) (# small boxes from R – R) (40ms) = CL .
2) Calculate HR• 60,000/CL = “x” BPM
(20) x (40ms) = 800ms
60,000/800 = 75 bpm
(25) x (40ms) = 1000ms
60,000/1000 = 60 bpm
(12) x (40ms) = 480ms
60,000/480 = 125 bpm
![Page 19: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
RATE – 6 SECOND RULE
1) Count the # of complexes on a 6 second strip.
2) Multiply by 10 to get approx. “bpm”
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Approximately 70 bpm
![Page 20: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

ECG INTERPRETATION: OVERVIEW
ECG interpretation can be simplified if approached one step at a time.
Understanding and practicing three basic steps will aid in quickly and accurately
identifying any given rhythm.
Step 1—Calculate the RATE of an ECG tracing
Step 2—Determine the REGULARITY or irregularity of a given ECG
Step 3—Analyze the RHYTHM of a given ECG by describing the relationship between
the P waves and QRS complexes
![Page 23: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
ECG INTERPRETATION: RATE
Rate generally refers to the ventricular rate or R-waves.
Resting rate is typically 60 – 100 bpm.
Focus is placed on the QRS complex.
![Page 24: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
ECG INTERPRETATION: REGULARITY
• PR intervals should remain consistent.
• PR interval should be 120-200 ms.
• The PR interval is the time from beginning of the P-wave to the beginning of the QRS complex.
• Regularity is the consistency of the interval between each QRS complex.
![Page 25: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ECG INTERPRETATION: RHYTHM
PR ratio is the number of P-waves compared to QRS complexes.
Every P-wave should have an associated QRS complex.
![Page 26: HEART RHYTHM INTERPRETATION BASIC ECGS](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022012712/61ab3d4b2273d34b47177d6c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

On the following rhythm strips in subsequent slides, determine rhythm presented.
Consider the following: What is the atrial and ventricular rate? Is it normal? What is the regularity (P-P and R-R) Are any AV and/or Bundle branch blocks present? Does the rhythm have a clinical significance?
Answers can be found in the notes section of the slides.

KEY LEARNING POINTS
Cardiac conduction results in the mechanical beating of the heart, which is created by electrical impulses moving throughout the conduction system. Specific waves that appear on an ECG correspond both to the mechanical and
electrical depolarization/repolarization of a particular area of the heart.• P-wave (atrial depolarization), QRS (ventricular depolarization), T-wave (ventricular
repolarization)
Time between waves is an important characteristic in determining a normal heart rhythm (measured in milliseconds).1. PR interval: Normal is 120 – 200ms2. QRS interval: Normal is 60 – 100ms
Understanding and practicing 3 basic steps will aid in quickly and accurately identifying any given rhythm of an ECG tracing:1. Calculate the RATE2. Determine the REGULARITY or irregularity3. Analyze the RHYTHM by describing relationship between P waves and QRS
complexes
