2. ID 380 – 53 year old man in the pre-anaesthesia clinic
3. ID 380 – 53 year old man in the pre-anaesthesia clinic
Can you see P waves?
4. ID 380 – 53 year old man in the pre-anaesthesia clinic
Yes: The P waves originate from the sinus node– The rhythm is regular – Each
P is followed by a QRS - The PR interval is normal – The rate is 60/min
NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM, 60/min
5. ID 380 - NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM, 60/min
There are no signs of left atrial enlargement or right atrial enlargement
6. ID 380 - NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM, 60/min
Let’s now look at the QRS complexes: There is normal QRS axis (between 0 and 90 degrees)
7. ID 380 - NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM, 60/min
The QRS duration is normal : There is no right bundle branch block, left bundle branch block or non-specific block
8. ID 380 - NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM, 60/min
There is no right ventricular hypertrophy or left ventricular hypertrophy
9. ID 380 - NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM, 60/min
There are no QRS signs of myocardial infarction – There are normal ST segment and normal T waves
10. ID 380 - Final diagnosis:
NORMAL SINUS RHYTHM, 60/min
NORMAL ECG
