The document discusses ECG leads and their axis. It explains that the 12-lead ECG places electrodes on the body in different configurations to view electrical activity from different perspectives. The 3 limb leads (I, II, III) and 3 augmented leads (aVR, aVL, aVF) use the arms and legs. The 6 precordial leads (V1-V6) are placed on the chest. Together, the 12-leads provide a multi-dimensional view of the heart's electrical activity. Each lead orientation favors visibility of certain heart regions, with limb leads viewing the inferior side and precordial leads viewing anterior-posterior activity.
ECG
An ECG is a graphic recording of the electrical activity of the heart over time captured by electrodes placed on the skin. It detects the impulse as it travels through the heart and provides information about heart rate and rhythm, as well as the size and position of the chambers, any damage to the heart, and the effects of drugs or devices. The standard ECG uses 12 leads attached at specific positions on the limbs and chest to detect the P, QRS, and T waves representing atrial depolarization, ventricular depolarization, and ventricular repolarization respectively. The ECG is useful for diagnosing heart conditions like heart attacks, arrhythmias, and damage as well as monitoring effects of drugs.
Electrocardiogram
The document discusses the basics of electrocardiography (ECG). It describes what an ECG is, how it is recorded, the ECG grid, and the normal waves, complexes, intervals and segments seen on an ECG. Specifically, it explains the P wave, QRS complex, T wave, and other components and their significance in assessing electrical conduction through the heart. The conductive system of the heart is also summarized, describing how impulses originate in the sinoatrial node and are conducted to initiate coordinated contractions.
Introduction to ECG
An electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) is a graphic recording of the electrical activity of the heart over time captured by electrodes placed on the skin. The ECG depicts the heart's electrical conduction system and can be used to diagnose cardiac conditions like arrhythmias, ischemia, infarction, and others. An ECG records the P wave from atrial depolarization, the QRS complex from ventricular depolarization, and the ST-T wave from ventricular repolarization. The standard 12-lead ECG uses limb leads and precordial leads positioned on the torso to measure the heart's electrical activity from different angles.
ECG
Topic; "ECG"
An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple test that can be used to check your heart's rhythm and electrical activity.
Sensors attached to the skin are used to detect the electrical signals produced by your heart each time it beats. An ECG is often used alongside other tests to help diagnose and monitor conditions affecting the heart.
It can be used to investigate symptoms of a possible heart problem, such as chest pain, palpitations (suddenly noticeable heartbeats), dizziness and shortness of breath.
An ECG can help detect:
arrhythmias – where the heart beats too slowly, too quickly, or irregularly
coronary heart disease – where the heart's blood supply is blocked or interrupted by a build-up of fatty substances
heart attacks – where the supply of blood to the heart is suddenly blocked
cardiomyopathy – where the heart walls become thickened or enlarged.

The document discusses cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS). CPR involves restoring circulation through chest compressions, opening the airway, and providing rescue breathing. ACLS uses techniques like defibrillation to rapidly restore an effective heart rhythm. It describes how to perform CPR, use different airway techniques, and operate an automated external defibrillator to deliver shocks.
non invasive and invasive cardiac monitoring.pptx
A chest x-ray can determine the size, position, and contour of the heart and reveal cardiac abnormalities, though it cannot diagnose an acute myocardial infarction. It is also used to confirm correct placement of devices like pacemakers. Fluoroscopy allows real-time visualization of heart pulsations and movement of instruments through the body during a procedure. Stress tests evaluate for coronary artery disease and assess heart function by monitoring the patient's heart rate and symptoms during increasing physical exertion or pharmacologically induced stress. Echocardiography uses ultrasound to examine cardiac structures and function noninvasively. Radionuclide imaging injects radioactive tracers to evaluate perfusion and function through gamma camera imaging.
cardiac catheterization.pptx
Cardiac catheterization is an invasive procedure used to visualize the heart chambers, valves, and vessels to diagnose and treat coronary artery abnormalities. It involves inserting a long, flexible catheter into a vein or artery and guiding it to the heart under x-ray or angiography. It is used to measure chamber pressure, oxygen saturation, and ventricular function, and to identify valvular issues, defects, and abnormalities. It also helps determine the best treatment options and evaluate the effects of medical or invasive treatments on cardiovascular function. Certain conditions like coagulopathy, impaired renal function, and debilitation can contraindicate catheterizing both sides of the heart.
anginapectoris(1).pptx
This document outlines the pharmacological, procedural, and lifestyle management of cardiovascular disorders. It discusses drug therapies like aspirin, beta-blockers, opioids, and antiplatelet agents. It also mentions procedures like cardiac catheterization and revascularization. Lifestyle factors encouraged include smoking cessation, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol, managing diabetes, nutrition counseling, exercise, and stress management. The nursing management section lists diagnoses related to chest pain, decreased tissue perfusion, low cardiac output, impaired breathing, and bleeding risk.
anginapectoris.pptx
Angina pectoris is chest pain caused by inadequate blood supply to the heart muscle. There are several types of angina including stable angina brought on by exertion and relieved by rest, unstable angina which occurs at rest, and variant angina caused by coronary artery spasms. Factors that can trigger angina include increased cardiac demand from exercise or stress as well as reduced blood supply from conditions like atherosclerosis. Diagnosis involves evaluating symptoms, ECG, cardiac enzymes, and imaging tests like angiography. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes, medications to relieve symptoms and improve blood flow, and potentially revascularization through procedures like angioplasty.
pvd.pptx
Peripheral vascular disease is caused by narrowing or blockage of blood vessels outside the heart due to conditions like atherosclerosis. It can affect arteries, veins or lymphatic vessels. Risk factors include smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol, obesity, and family history. Symptoms vary depending on location but may include leg pain with walking or at rest, skin changes, and ulcers or gangrene in severe cases. Treatment involves lifestyle changes, medications, procedures like angioplasty, or surgery depending on severity. Nursing care focuses on wound care, exercise, monitoring for complications, and health education.
arteriosclerosis.pptx
Arteriosclerosis refers to diseases where the arterial wall thickens and loses elasticity. It is caused by long-term high blood pressure and causes arteries to harden over years. Risk factors include aging, family history, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, and inactivity. Arteriosclerosis can lead to coronary artery disease, carotid or peripheral artery disease, aneurysms, chronic kidney disease, and issues with blood flow to limbs. Managing diseases like high blood pressure and cholesterol through diet, exercise, and medication can help prevent arteriosclerosis.
cardiac catheterization(1).pptx
The document describes the steps for catheterization procedures. The patient is placed on an x-ray table and secured with ECG leads, blood pressure monitoring, and an IV. The catheter site is cleaned and prepped. Local anesthesia is administered and general anesthesia may be used for young children. A needle is used to puncture the vein or artery and a wire is inserted. The catheter is then passed over the wire into the vessel. Common sites are the femoral vein, antecubital vein, brachial or femoral artery. The procedures can be used for coronary arteriography or transseptal techniques.
cardiacarrest-new.pptx
Cardiac arrest is when the heart suddenly stops beating, cutting off blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. It is most commonly caused by diseases affecting the ventricles that disrupt their rhythm. Risk factors include preexisting heart conditions, abnormal heart rhythms, coronary artery disease, smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Signs include loss of pulse and consciousness, no breathing or blood pressure, and dilated pupils. Diagnosis involves physical exam, ECG, cardiac catheterization, echocardiography, and blood tests. Treatment focuses on restoring normal heart rhythm through CPR, defibrillation, and antiarrhythmic drugs.
ecg.pptx
An ECG records the electrical activity of the heart through electrodes placed on the skin. It detects depolarization and repolarization of the myocardium during each heartbeat. The ECG waveform includes the P wave, PR interval, QRS complex, ST segment, T wave, and QT interval. ECGs use 12 leads in a standard configuration to view the heart from multiple angles. Holter monitoring involves continuous ECG recording over 24 hours or more to evaluate heart conditions that may not appear during a brief office ECG.
bpmonitoring.pdf
This document discusses non-invasive and invasive blood pressure monitoring. Non-invasive methods include auscultation, oscillometry, plethysmography, and tonometry. Invasive arterial monitoring requires an arterial catheter and is used when frequent measurements are needed or patients have conditions affecting blood pressure stability. The radial, femoral, axillary, and pedal arteries are common sites. Waveform analysis provides additional clinical information. Maintaining catheter patency and proper transducer leveling, zeroing, and testing ensures accurate invasive pressure readings.

Here is summary of hypertension -
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood pressure in the body's arteries is consistently too high. Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of blood vessels as the heart pumps it. Hypertension can increase the risk of heart disease, brain disease, kidney disease, and premature death.

- 6. Normal ECG
- 7. The electrical activity of the cardiac cycle is characterized by five primary wave deflections, designated by letters P, Q, R, S, T.
- 8. P wave Represents atrial contraction. Shape of the ‘P’ wave remains the same unless it is generated from a different focus. QRS complex Represents ventricular depolarization and is composed of 3 waves, the Q, R & S. Q wave is the first negative deflection. R wave is the first positive deflection after the P wave. S wave is the negative deflection following R wave. It is about 0.08 to 0.12 sec, represented by 3 small squares.
- 9. PR interval Measured from the beginning of P wave to the beginning of QRS complex. The normal PR interval is 0.12 -0.2 sec, represented by 3-5 small squares. The time it takes for the impulse to spread from atria to ventricles.
- 10. ST segment An isoelectric line representing early ventricular repolarisation. Normally not elevated >1mm or depressed > 0.5mm. T wave Represents ventricular repolarisation. Usually positive, rounded, & slightly Asymmetric. U wave Results from slow repolarisation of ventricular Purkinje fibers. More common in lead V3. Hypokalemia.
