Fast & Easy ECGs – A Self-Paced

Other Cardiac Conditions and
the ECG
Other Cardiac Conditions
•  Many conditions cause changes to the
ECG
– Electrolyte abnormality
– Ischemia
– Infarction
– Inflammation
– Medications
Pericarditis
•  Inflammation of pericardium
I
ECG Changes in Pericarditis
•  T wave initially upright and elevated but then during
recovery phase it inverts
•  ST segment elevated and usually flat or concave
Pericardial Effusion
•  Can occur with
pericarditis
•  Can cause low-
voltage QRS
complexes in all
leads and
electrical
alternans
Electrical Alternans
•  QRS complexes
change in height
with each
successive beat
Pulmonary Embolism
•  Acute blockage of one of the pulmonary
arteries
•  Leads to obstruction of blood flow to the
lung segment supplied by the artery
•  Produces large S wave in lead I, deep Q
wave in lead III, inverted T wave in lead III
– Called the S1 Q3 T3 pattern
A
Pulmonary Embolism
Pacemakers
•  Implanted pacemakers regulate heart rate
•  Patients often have:
– A condition which causes the heart rate to
occasionally slow down
– A complete heart block where the ventricular
escape rate is too low
•  Artificial devices produce an impulse and
convey it to the myocardium
I
Pacemakers
•  Firing of a pacemaker produces one or two small
spikes on the ECG
I
Electrolyte Imbalances
•  Increases or decreases in potassium and
calcium serum levels can have a profound
effect on the ECG
Hyperkalemia
•  Key characteristics include:
– T wave peaking
– Flattened P waves
– 1st-degree AV heart block
– Widened QRS complexes
– Deepened S waves
– Merging of S and T waves
Hyperkalemia
Hypokalemia
•  Key ECG characteristics include:
– ST segment depression
– Flattening of the T wave
– Appearance of U waves
Hypokalemia
Hypocalcemia
•  QT interval
slightly
prolonged
Digoxin
•  Slows influx of sodium while allowing a greater
influx of calcium
•  Increases myocardial contractility and improves
the heart’s pumping ability
•  Slows heart rate and AV conduction
•  Useful in the treatment of fast atrial dysrhythmias
Digoxin
•  Gradual downward curve of the ST segment
Digoxin
•  Very narrow therapeutic margin
•  Excreted from the body slowly
•  Excessive levels can cause slower heart
rates, faster heart rates and PVCs
Practice Makes Perfect
•  Determine the type of condition

Summary
•  Pericarditis is an inflammation of the pericardium.
•  In pericarditis the T wave is initially upright and elevated
but then during the recovery phase it inverts. The ST
segment is elevated and usually flat or concave.
•  Substantial pericardial effusion can occur with
pericarditis and produce ECG changes which include low
voltage QRS complexes in all leads and electrical
alternans.
Summary
•  A pulmonary embolism is an acute blockage of one of
the pulmonary arteries.
•  Characteristic ECG changes seen with massive
pulmonary embolus include a large S wave in lead I, a
deep Q wave in lead III and an inverted T wave in lead
III.
Summary
•  A pacemaker is an artificial device that produces an
impulse and conveys it to the myocardium.
•  The firing of a pacemaker produces one or two small
spikes on the ECG.
•  Increases or decreases in the potassium and calcium
serum levels can have a profound effect on the ECG.
•  Key characteristics of hyperkalemia include T wave
peaking, flattened P waves, 1st-degree AV heart block,
widened QRS complexes, deepened S waves and
merging of S and T waves.
Summary
•  Key ECG characteristics of hypokalemia include ST
segment depression, flattening of the T wave and
appearance of U waves.
•  In hypocalcemia the QT interval is slightly prolonged.
•  Digoxin slows the influx of sodium while allowing a
greater influx of calcium.
•  A characteristic gradual downward curve of the ST
segment is seen with digoxin.
