YOU should have the following information:
• Patients IDs e.g. name, • Date (in years, months, days, hours and
minutes).• Place where ECG was taken.• ALL written or printed on the ECG paper

You should be able to..Differentiate normal from abnormal ECG.And at this level:1. Heart rate.2. Rhythm.3. Time duration.4. Voltage amplitude.5. Heart axis, deviations to right or left.6. Overall wave forms and configuration.

• ECG is recorded on a paper which is divided by horizontal and vertical lines forming squares.
• A large square is divide into 25 small squares.• One large square is (5 X 5) square mm; i.e.
5mm length and 5mm width.

• Each large square is divide into 25 small squares. 5 raws and 5 columns.
• Each small square is 1X1 square mm; i.e. 1mm in length and 1mm width.

• The normal speed of the ECG paper is 25mm/second. • This is equal to 25 small squares per second.• This also means 5 large squares per second.

• Horizontal line represents time.• So, one small square equals to 1/25 second or equals to 0.04
second.• And, one large square equals to 1/5 second or 0.2 second.

• Vertical line represents voltage.• Traditionally, every 1o small squares (or 2 large squares) up or down is 1mV.• So, one small square is 1/10 or 0.1 mV.• And, one large square is ½ mV or )0.5 mV.

Heart Rate: 60 - 100 bpm PR Interval: 0.12 - 0.20 sec (= 3 to 5 small sq.)QRS Duration: 0.06 - 0.10 sec (= 1.5 to 2.5 small sq.) QT Interval (QTc < 0.40 sec) (= ≤ 10 small sq.)QT < 0.42 @ 60 bpm
Corrected QT interval = QT interval /√ (RR) interval

Measurements2. Rhythm: Normal sinus rhythm:
The P waves in leads I and II must be upright (positive) if the rhythm is coming from the sinus node.
3. Conduction:Normal Sino-atrial (SA), Atrio-ventricular (AV), and Intraventricular
(IV) conductionBoth the PR interval and QRS duration should be within the limits
specified above. P Wave P duration < 0.12 sec P amplitude < 2.5 mmQRS Complex QRS duration < 0.10 sec

08:10 13
Normal Voltages in the Electrocardiogram
The voltage of the QRS complex usually is 1.0 to 1.5 millivolt from the top of the R wave to the bottom of the S wave;
The voltage of the P wave is between 0.1 and 0.3 millivolt;
The voltage of T wave is between 0.2 and 0.3 millivolt.
![Page 14: Ecg reading](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022100305/557aafafd8b42a70408b4e56/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
08:10 14
P-Q or P-R Interval The time between the beginning of the P wave and the
beginning of the QRS complex is the interval between the beginning of electrical excitation of the atria and the beginning of excitation of the ventricles.
This period is called the P-Q interval. The normal P-Q interval is about 0.16 second. (Often this
interval is called the P-R interval because the Q wave is likely to be absent.)

Heart Rate• Heart rate is measured in beats/minute.• ECG paper speed is in mm/second, so we
should change it to mm/minutes.• 25 mm/second equals to 60X25 mm/second• = 1500 mm/min. (1500 small sq/min.)• = 1500/5 =300 large sq. /min.
![Page 16: Ecg reading](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022100305/557aafafd8b42a70408b4e56/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
08:10 16
Heart Rate• One heart beat is one cardiac cycle.• One cardiac cycle starts from one wave e.g. R
wave , to the next R wave (or from p to next p)• Count the number of small sq. between two
successive R waves,• OR the number of large sq. between two RR.

Physiological Causes of axis deviation
• When the diaphragm ascends up with expiration, the heart becomes more horizontal (i.e. deviates to the left)
• Inspiration, on the other hand, makes the diaphragm to descends down, and the heart will be hanged or vertical (i.e. right axis)
![Page 24: Ecg reading](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022100305/557aafafd8b42a70408b4e56/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
08:10 28
Physiological Causes of axis deviation
• Diaphragm moves down with inspiration, standing (because abdominal contents descends) this happen also with tall persons.
• Diaphragm moves up with expiration, lying down, or in fatty person and any cause of increased intraabdominal mass (like pregnancy)
