Sinus Rhythm
P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in
aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval

Sinus Rhythm
![Page 4: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Rate
<60bpm bradycardia >100bpm tachycardia Normal rate between 60 and 100
bpm If regular with <10% variation of R-
R interval, termed “sinus arrhythmia”
![Page 5: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Determining Rate
EKG grid made of large and small boxes
One large box= 0.2ms One small box= 0.04ms
![Page 6: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Determining Rate
Locate a QRS complex on a bold line (ie edge of large box)
If the next QRS complex is separated by one large box, the rate is 300, two boxes 150, three boxes 100, etc.

Example
![Page 8: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rate
If rhythm is irregular, may use the “six second rule” to estimate the rate
Count the number of QRS complexes present in span of 30 large boxes, then multiply by 10 for an estimated heart rate

Axis
Normal QRS in an adult between –30° and +105°
Axis determined by finding “isoelectric” lead
I, aVF most important for quick estimate

Intervals
![Page 12: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Intervals
P-R interval: beginning of p-wave to beginning of QRS; normal 0.12-0.2ms (3-5 small blocks)
Q-T interval: initiation of QRS complex to termination of T wave. Normal QT is 0.4 +/- 0.05ms
QT normal if <1/2 of the R-R interval
![Page 13: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
QRS
QRS complex represents the depolarization through the ventricles
Normal QRS duration between 0.08 and 0.12ms (2-3 small blocks)
![Page 14: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
S-T segment
Distance from the termination of the QRS complex to the initiation of the T-wave
Important to note its configuration (depression or elevation)
J-point: where ST segment “takes off” from QRS
![Page 15: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
ST Elevation
![Page 16: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
T-wave
Should be of the same direction as the main deflection of QRS complexes in all leads
Positive in II, V3-V6 Negative in aVR Variable in other leads No greater than 5mm in limb leads
and 10mm in precoridal
![Page 17: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Pathological Q waves
Significant Q-wave is >1mm wide OR >1/3the total vertical magnitude of the QRS
Must be present in contiguous leads for clinical significance
Small Q-waves common in I, ii, V5 and V6 and are considered “non-pathologic”
![Page 18: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Localizing Injury
![Page 19: The Normal EKG Eric J Milie D.O.. Sinus Rhythm P wave before every QRS complex P waves upright in II, negative in aVr Reproducibility of the R-R interval](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf941a28abf838c903a7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
R wave progression
Transition from a mostly negative to a mostly positive QRS complex in the precordial leads should occur between V3 and V4
Before V3 “early transition” After V4 “poor R-wave
progression”
