ECG interpretation in emergency settingsAimanSaleh5
The document provides an overview of ECG interpretation in emergency settings. It discusses how to identify and diagnose common ECG changes seen in emergencies, including tachyarrhythmias, bradyarrhythmias, acute coronary syndrome, pulmonary embolism, hyperkalemia, and pericardial effusion. Specific ECG patterns are described for conditions like sinus tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, heart block, myocardial infarction, and more. The goal is to help emergency clinicians rapidly identify and manage critical ECG findings.
This ECG shows ventricular tachycardia in a middle-aged patient presenting with palpitations and dizziness. Key findings include a regular broad complex tachycardia with northwest axis and an atypical RBBB pattern in V1 with a taller left "rabbit ear", indicating ventricular tachycardia rather than supraventricular tachycardia with aberrant conduction. Immediate treatment is needed given the life-threatening nature of sustained ventricular tachycardia.
The document contains ECG readings from multiple patients. It discusses cases of supraventricular tachycardia, anterolateral ischemia, atrial fibrillation with complete heart block, right bundle branch block, ventricular extra systoles, anterior myocardial infarction, hypokalemia, acute anterolateral myocardial infarction, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Diagnoses are provided for each case.
The document discusses the ST segment of the ECG and various abnormalities that can occur. It notes that the ST segment represents the interval between ventricular depolarization and repolarization. ST segment elevation or depression can indicate myocardial ischemia or infarction. Various conditions are described that can cause ST segment changes, including myocardial infarction in different coronary artery territories, coronary vasospasm, pericarditis, early repolarization, and others. The morphology and patterns of ST segment abnormalities are discussed for evaluating these conditions.

A 60-year-old male with diabetes and hypertension was found unconscious and intubated. His ECG showed normal sinus rhythm, symmetrical deep T-wave inversions, and ST elevation in aVR. CT brain revealed a large left frontal-parietal intracerebral hemorrhage. The symmetrical T-wave inversions are likely due to reversible cardiomyocyte damage from excessive sympathetic stimulation caused by the increased intracranial pressure from the hemorrhage, known as cerebral T-waves. The differential diagnoses include electrolyte abnormalities, myocardial infarction, and other cardiac and non-cardiac causes, but the findings are consistent with cerebral T-waves in this case.
A 65-year-old man presented to the emergency department with chest pain radiating to his left arm and jaw for 2.5 hours. His EKG showed tall R waves in leads V1-V3 and downsloping ST depression in V1-V4, suggestive of a posterior wall myocardial infarction (MI). Echo revealed akinesia of the posterior left ventricular wall. He received fibrinolytic therapy, which resolved his symptoms. However, he later developed cerebral hemorrhage. The EKG findings, in combination with his risk factors and history, suggested a posterior MI despite the unconventional presentation on EKG.
This document discusses the ST segment of the electrocardiogram (ECG) and abnormalities that can occur.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

1. ECG Review 2020
Eric Hockstad, MD
Medical Director of Cardiac Cath Labs
University of Kansas Medical System
2020 American Heart Association
Virtual Cardiac Symposium
8. ST Segment
■Segment between end of QRS complex (J point) and beginning of T wave
■Represents state of unchanged polarization between end of depolarization
and beginning of repolarization
■Should be on the same plane as the TP segment (between T wave and next P)
9. T Wave
■ Represents ventricular repolarization
■Occurs in general direction of ventricular depolarization
(QRS)
■Upright in I, II, V5-V6
■Inverted in aVR
11. ■ Normal = 350 – 450 ms for HR=60
■For every 10-beat increase or decrease of the rate, 20 ms is deducted or added to
the QT
■ Bazett's correction
■QTc = measured QT (secs) divided by square root of RR interval (secs)
■ Obvious abnormality if QT > ½ RR interval (extending more than 1/2 way to
next QRS)
■ Prolonged QT can lead to Torsades de pointes (the QRS complexes “twist”
around the isoelectric line
QT Interval
14. Heart Block
Complete Heart Block
No relationship between p wave and qrs
2nd degree heart block
Every other beat is dropped
nonconducted premature
atrial beat
18. In RBBB, activation of the right ventricle is delayed as depolarisation has to
spread across the septum from the left ventricle.
• The left ventricle is activated normally, meaning that the early part of
the QRS complex is unchanged.
• The delayed right ventricular activation produces a secondary R wave
(R’) in the right precordial leads (V1-3) and a wide, slurred S wave in
the lateral leads.
• Delayed activation of the right ventricle also gives rise to secondary
repolarization abnormalities, with ST depression and T wave inversion
in the right precordial leads.
Right Bundle Branch Block
20. Left bundle branch block
• The overall direction of depolarization (from right to left) produces tall R
waves in the lateral leads (I, V5-6) and deep S waves in the right
precordial leads (V1-3), and usually leads to left axis deviation.
• As the ventricles are activated sequentially (right, then left) rather than
simultaneously, this produces a broad or notched (‘M’-shaped) R wave
in the lateral leads.
23. Early repolarization causes mild ST elevation with tall T-waves mainly in the precordial
leads. There is often notching of the J-point — the “fish-hook” pattern.
ST elevation
24. ST Elevation
Acute Pericarditis causes widespread concave (“saddleback”) ST segment
elevation with PR segment depression in multiple leads, typically involving I,
II, III, aVF, aVL, and V2-6.
Spodick’s sign Downsloping TP segment in patients with acute pericarditis
25. ST Elevation
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) causes ST elevation in the leads with
deep S-waves (usually V1-3) and ST depression/T-wave inversion in the
leads with tall R waves (II, III, aVF, V5-6).
26. Definition of ST elevation MI

• 2 day admission stay, discharged to home
44. Clinical History
• 47 yo female arrived to Emergency Room c/o chest pain up into her
throat while cleaning approximately 30 mins prior to arrival, SOA and
dizziness as well
• No significant PMH
50. Outcome Results
• Subtotal occlusion, 99% of the mid to distal LAD, s/p balloon
angioplasty and 2 stents
• Initial Trop result 0.58
• Subsequent echo showed reduced ejection fraction of 40% and a
thrombus in the LV
• 7 day admission stay, discharged to home

53. ST depression never takes precedence over ST elevation. If you see depression
check contralateral leads
54. Clinical History
• 60 yo male arrived to Emergency Room from nursing care facility with
complaints of GI bleed, SOB; states having vomiting and abdominal
pain.
• While en route, EMS obtained EKG and when questioning pt again
about pain and specifically chest, pt states having "some" chest pain in
mid chest rating it 8-9/10.
• Pt also hypotensive en route.
• PMH: Hepatitis C, HTN, hemorrhagic stroke. Has had decreased
appetite the past few days
55.
56. Outcome Results
• STEMI activated by EMS
• Pt emergently to cath lab: cardiogenic shock in the setting of
takotsubo cardiomyopathy; IABP placed. Pt admitted to CICU.
• Dx: acute systolic and diastolic HFrEF, EF: 15%, Hypovolemic shock, on
pressor support with Vasopressin; GI consulted for GI bleed/melena
58. Wellen’s Syndrome
• Deep symmetric T waves or biphasic T waves anteriorly
• 89% specific for proximal Left Anterior Descending Stenosis
59. Hypothermia
• Classic ECG finding called Osborne Waves (J waves)
• J point is the spot marking the end of the QRS, and the
start of the ST segment
• J waves occur just proximal to the J point, as a notch in the
end of the QRS
• J waves are very rare, and originally described in
hypothermia
• The height of the J wave correlates with the severity of the
hypothermia (<90°)

61. Aneurysm
Scarred heart muscle that cannot contract and bulges
out
Factors suggesting left ventricular aneurysm
• ECG identical to previous ECGs (if available).
• Absence of dynamic ST segment changes.
• Absence of reciprocal ST depression.
• Well-formed Q waves.
Factors favoring acute STEMI
• New ST changes compared with previous ECGs.
• Dynamic / progressive ECG changes — the degree of ST elevation
increases on serial ECGs.
• Reciprocal ST depression.
• High clinical suspicion of STEMI — ongoing ischemic chest pain, sick-
looking patient (e.g. pale, sweaty), hemodynamic instability.
63. De Winter ECG pattern
• Anterior STEMI equivalent that presents without obvious ST segment elevation
• Upsloping ST depression/J point depression (> 1mm at J-point) in the precordial leads
V2-6, plus leads I & II.
• Peaked anterior T waves, with the ascending limb of the T wave starting below the
isoelectric baseline.
• ST elevation in aVR > 0.5mm
• The de Winter pattern is seen in ~2% of acute LAD occlusions andis under-recognised
by clinicians.
64. MI in left bundle branch
block
• Discordant (opposite direction
to major QRS direction) ≥ 5 mm
ST elevation
• > 1 mm of ST elevation in same
direction as QRS in any lead
• Concordant ST depression in
V1-V3 < 1 mm
