4. Abnormal ECG
1- Atrial enlargement
• P Mitrale:
Lead II: broad ↑3mm ± notched
Lead V1: negative deflection is broad ↑1mm and
deep ↑1mm
• P pulmonale:
Lead II: tall ↑2.5 mm + peaked
Lead V1: +ve deflection ↑1.5 mm
• Biatrial enlargement:
Lead II: tall ↑2.5 mm + broad ↑3mm
Lead V1: +ve deflection ↑1.5 mm and : negative
deflection is broad ↑1mm and deep ↑1mm
5. Left ventricular enlargement
1- R in V5 or V6 (the taller) ≥ 25mm
2- R in V5 or V6 (the taller) + S in V1 ≥ 35mm
3- R in V5 or V6 (the taller) + S in V2 ≥ 45mm
4- R in V6 > R in V5
5- R in avf > 20 mm
6- R in avl > 13 mm
Strain pattern: inverted ST segment and/or
inverted T wave in V5 and V6 LVH
6. • Right ventricular enlargement
Lead V1: R > 7mm or R/S ratio ≥ 1
Lead V6: deep S
Strain pattern: inverted ST segment and/or
inverted T wave in V1 and V2 RVH
• Biventricular enlargement
Signs of LVE + tall R in V1
Or Signs of LVE + Rt axis deviation
7. 3- Low voltage ECG
• QRS amplitude in I+II+III is < 15 mm
8. • LBBB:
Width: 2.5-3mm → incomplete LBBB
≥3mm → complete LBBB
Shape:
V1 and V2: Qs or rS
V5 and V6 and I: monophasic ± notched R
T wave: 2ry inversion in V5 and V6
• IVCD
Wide QRS but the pattern is not consistent with
RBBB or LBBB
9. 4- Bundle branch block
• RBBB:
Width: 2.5-3mm → incomplete RBBB
≥3mm → complete RBBB
Shape:
V1 and V2: rsR (wide R) or RR (monophasic
notched tall R)
V5 and V6 and I: qRs (slurred S)
T wave: 2ry inversion in V1 and V2
10. Pacemaker pattern
• As LBBB or IVCD but a spike precedes each
QRS Ventricular pacemaker
• If a spike precedes each QRS and each P wave
Dual chamber pacemaker
11. Hemiblock
• Left anterior hemiblock left axis deviation +
deep S in II-III-aVF
• Left posterior hemiblock Rt axis deviation +
deep S in I-aVL
• Bifascicular hemiblock RBBB + hemiblock
• Trifascicular hemiblock bifascicular + 1st
degree heart block
