WHAT IS ECG ?
1. ECG - Electro-cardio- gram
2. ECG - Graphical recording of electrical
activity of human heart
3. ECG - Does not always have a direct correlation with
mechanical activity of heart
![Page 3: ECG IN 100 STEPS By Dr. S. Aswini Kumar MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081415/568149a2550346895db6e31b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
ECG READING
4. ECG reading - not a Bali-kera-mala
5. ECG reading - simple arithmetic
6. ECG reading - requires logical sequence

ECG PAPER
10. ECG paper - Black Background
- Heat sensitive
- Grey substance coated
- Erased by heated stylus
11. ECG paper - moves at a constant speed
- 25 mm per second
- can be increased to
- 50 mm per second
12. ECG paper - has horizontal and vertical lines
- I mm apart
- just as in a graph paper
![Page 6: ECG IN 100 STEPS By Dr. S. Aswini Kumar MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081415/568149a2550346895db6e31b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THICKNESS OF LINES
13. Every 5th Horizontal line - Thicker
14. Every 5th Vertical line - Thicker
15. Every 25th Vertical line - Extended up
![Page 7: ECG IN 100 STEPS By Dr. S. Aswini Kumar MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081415/568149a2550346895db6e31b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
DURATION
16. Measured in horizontal direction
1 small division (S.D.) = 1mm = 0.04 sec
17. 1 Big division (B.D.) = 5mm = 0.20 sec
18. 1 Extended division (E.D.) = 25 mm = 1 sec
- 2 SD = 0.08 sec- 2 BD = 0.40 sec- 2 ED = 2.00 sec
![Page 8: ECG IN 100 STEPS By Dr. S. Aswini Kumar MD](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081415/568149a2550346895db6e31b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
AMPLITUDE
19. Measured in vertical direction
Principle : 1 mv of current produces a deflection of 10 sd
20. 1 small division (s.d) of height of wave is = 0.1 millivolt. (ie, isd = 0.1 mv)
21. However the amplitude or voltage of defections is expressed in mm of height or depth of waves
r
s
r = 6mm
s = 12mm

as P.Q.R.S.T and U waves.

NOW START READING ECG IN 12 MAJOR STEPS
I. STANDARDISATION
52. Standardisation : standard against standard lead - which other leads are read
53. Normal Standardisation
1mv current - produces deflection of 10 sd..
. . Std: 1 mv = 10 sd.
54. Half standard ECG
Reduce deflections to 1/2
. . . Std: 1 mv = 5 sd.
. . . To calculate voltage X2 Always look for the label 1/2 V1 1/2 V2 etc.

II RATE ( Heart Rate)
55. Calculate the rate : 300/ No BD in RR ; III ly 2 BD - 150
Simple method 3 BD - 100
Look for R falling on Bid Divisions 4 BD - 75
If RR = 1 BD, HR = 300/mt. 5 BD - 60
6 BD - 50
56. For more accurate value
1500/ No of Small divisions
between adjacent RR
57. If rhythm is irregular
Count QRS within 6 sec of ECG paper
Multiply by 10 to get HR in 60 sec.

III RHYTHM
58. Rhythm - is said to be Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) if
- HR 60-100/mt. - Each P - QRS - T. - PR interval -Normal - QRS duration - Normal
59. Normally slight variation during respiration
HR with inspiration with expiration
Sinus ArrhythmiaExp Insp Exp
60. Abnormal Rhythm- Arrhythmia- Study lead II & V1 - (Rhythm Strip)- P waves best seen in II & V1
Criteria - Difference between shortest & widest RR
should be > 0.12 sec.

VII Q WAVE
70. Normally. No significant Q in any lead.may be Small q in III, II, V5 V6
71. Q present & more than .04 sec ie, 1 sd. in width
It is is significant or pathological
It indicates an Electrical Window in myocardium
due to Myocardial Infarction ( AMI).
72. Before saying a Q as pathological make doubly sure
Because you are diagnosing
Transmural Myocardial Infarction
In that case Q will be present in more than one lead
representing the particular wall of heart.
Q .04 sec.

XI R/S IN V1
82. Amplitude of R in V1 ie R/S ratio in V1
