18. Depolarization : Electrical impulse begin spread Repolarization : Recovery phase will produce electric changes ( action potential of cells ) Terminology
24. How to start reading an ECG: 1) Don’t panic!! 2) check Name, Age and Date 3)Voltage (10mm/mV) and Speed Calibration(25 mm/sec) 4) aVR are all inverted…!!!
25. basic ECG: 5) Rhythm 6) Rate= for regular 300 Number of big Squares = for irregular R PEAK TIMES 10.
26. FORMULA FOR CALCULATE HEART RATE FOR REGULAR RHYTHM LARGE SQUARE RATE 1 300 2 150 3 100 4 75 5 60 6 50

28. waves: 7) P wave ( not more than 2 small squares high and 2 small squares wide) 8) PR interval (not more than 5 small squares)
29. 9) QRS complex: ( R wave progression from V1 to V6) (width less than 3 small squares)
