Reading Assignment (p1-91 in ‘Outline’)
Objectives
• What’s in an ECG ?

1. Compute the 5 basic measurements: HR, PR interval, QRS duration, QT interval, Axis
2. What’s the basic rhythm and other rhythm statements (e.g., PACs and PVC’s)
3. Any conduction abnormalities (SA blocks, AV blocks (Types I or II), and IV blocks
4. Waveform abnormalities beginning with P waves, QRS complexes, ST-T, and U waves
5. Final interpretations: Normal ECG or Borderline or Abnormal ECG (list final conclusions)

note, these are late (or end-diastolic) PVC‘s occuring after the P wave onset. Morphology rules out aberrant conduction.

Mearurements: Rhythm (s): Conduction: Waveform: Interpretation:
A= V= ~35 • Atrial fibrillation• Junctional escapes (J)• PVC‘s (*) RV origin• Origin of the 1st beat (?) is uncertain but
most likely a conducted beat from the a-fib. Junctional escapes may look slightly different from sinus or a-fib beats.
High grade or complete AV block
T wave inversion V1-4
Abnormal ECG:1. Rhythm (A fib and PVC‘s)2. 3rd degree AV block (note fixed RR
intervals between junctional beats); this rules out conducted a-fib beats.
