ECG Review for practical 1:For the practical you will be required to provide an answer for each ECG that includes the name of the ECG, what is the disorder, why it is abnormal, and give the rate when required. Be specific. Don’t overwrite with excess unnecessary information.

We will review in class on _______.Until then go through these slides and fill in the needed information via your notes. If you do not have this filled out you will not be allowed to stay for the review.

RATE

Normal Sinus Rhythm

In this example, the heart rate is 68 beats · min–1.

Sinus Bradycardia

Sinus Tachycardia

In this example, the heart rate is 136 beats · min–1.

Myocardial Infarction

See Figure 11.3, Page 120 for reference

Note the Q wave may be the only remaining evidence of the MI

Biphasic P wave in this case.

PAC

• Blocked or non-conducted PAC. AV node is still in the refractory period.
