Electrocardiography
Electrocardiography
• Electrical phenomena, science
• Simple, cheap, usefull but limited
• Almost all arrhythmias
• Infarction or ischaemia
• LVH
• Electrolyte imbalance
Bipolar standard leads I, II and III
The unipolar
limb leads and
their axes
Locations of unipolar
precordial leads
The precordial leads and their axes
ECG Information
• The 12 leads allow
tracing of electric
vector in all three
planes of interest
• Not all the leads are
independent, but are
recorded for
redundant
information

Example:
• sinus rhythm 80 x/minute, normal axis (normal sinus
rhythm)
• sinus rhythm 80 x/minute, LAD, LVH
• sinus rhythm 75 x/minute, RAD, RA abnormality, RVH
• sinus bradycardia 50x/minute, normal axis, Inferior LV wall
ischaemic
• sinus tachycardia 110 x/minute, normal axis, acute
myocardial infarction on anterior LV wall

Normal Sinus Rhythm
• Rate: 60-100 b/min
• Rhythm: regular
• P waves: upright in
leads I, II, aVF
• PR interval: < .20 s
• QRS: < .10 s
P wave
Contour :
-normal : smooth, monophasic (except V1)
-abnormal: monophasic > 0.25mV or P biphasic (notched)
Configuration :
-normal : positive at I,II, aVF, V3-V6, negative at aVR
-abnormal: negative at II,III or aVF,
may be an inversal leads or junctional rhytm
Duration (horisontal axis): 0.08-010 second (2-2.5 small box)
Amplitudo (vertikal axis): ≤ 0.25 mV or 2.5mm or 2.5 small box
PR interval: 0.12-0.20 second (3-5 small box),
-short PR interval: may be preexitacion syndrome
-long PR interval: may be AV blokade

Q wave
Configuration :
-normal : small q
-abnormal : patologic Q, wide (≥ 0.04s)
and deep ( 4mm or ≥ 25% R)
Lead of abnormal Q: old infarction area
-lead V1-V4 : anteroseptal
-lead V1-V6, I and aVL : anterior extensive
-lead V4-V6, I and aVL : anterolateral
-lead V3-V5 atau V1-V6: anterior
-lead II,III and aVF : inferior
-lead I and aVL : high lateral
-Mirror image of V1-V3 to horisontal line: true posterior
•Normal: Isoelektris
•Abnormal:
Depol. Repol. Restoration of - Elevation: > 1mm
ionic balance - Depression: horizontal,
downsloping,
upsloping
> 1mm was significant;
deeper: more specific
ST Segment depression : Ischaemic area
• Normal adult: positive T wave in all lead except aVR and V1.
• Abnormal: - Tall T/ hyperacute T: Injury/ Acute Infarction
- Negative T (vector of T was on opposite direction
than QRS vector/ T inversi): myocardial ischaemia,
more specific if arrow head T inversion.
• Area of injury or ischaemic
