The electrocardiogram
(ECG) illustrates
conduction of electrical
impulses in the heart.
The depolarization of the
ventricles occurs from
the endocardium
(inside) to the
epicardium (outside)
[e]
The repolarization of the
ventricles occurs in the
opposite direction. [g]
ECG INTERPRETATION
1.   RATE
2.   RHYTHM
3.   AXIS
4.   HIPERTROPHIC SIGNS
5.   MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
6.   ARRHYTHMIA
1. RATE
          Normal heart rate : 60 – 100 x/minutes
          • > 100 x/minutes : Sinus Tachycardia
          • < 60 x/minutes  : Sinus Bradicardia



Determination heart rate (normal paper speed 25 mm/s):
•                300
    Count number of large square (bold boxes in one R – R’ interval)
•              1500
    Count number of small square in one R – R’ intervals
• Number of QRS complex in 6 seconds, multiply by 10
2. RHYTHM

 Normal cardiac rhythm : SINUS rhythm


 Sinus rhythm characteristics :
 • Rate 60-100 bpm
 • Constant R – R interval
 • Negative P wave in aVR and positive di II
 • P wave is always followed by QRS complex
3. AXIS
4. HYPERTROPHIC SIGNS
5. MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION


   Ischemia
   Injury
   Necrosis
ANTERIOR INFARCTION
INFERIOR INFARCTION
POSTEROLATERAL INFARCTION
ARRHYTHMIA
AV BLOCK
WHAT’S WRONG??
Lead Error: V1 and V3 are Transposed!
In this normal 12-lead ECG the V1 and V3 chest electrodes are
interchanged. Experienced ECG interpreters should be able to spot this
lead placement error.
DISCUSSION
Sinus arrhythmia
Limb lead reversal
