  2. ST depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_depression

    ST segment depression and T-wave changes may be seen in patients with unstable angina; Depressed but upsloping ST segment generally rules out ischemia as a cause. Also, it can be a normal variant or artifacts, such as: Pseudo-ST-depression, which is a wandering baseline due to poor skin contact of the electrode [3]

  3. ST elevation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_elevation

    An upsloping, convex ST segment is highly predictive of a myocardial infarction (Pardee sign) while a concave ST elevation is less suggestive and can be found in other non-ischaemic causes. [1] Following infarction, ventricular aneurysm can develop, which leads to persistent ST elevation, loss of S wave, and T wave inversion. [1]

  4. T wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_wave

    An episode of chest pain in Wellens' syndrome is associated with ST elevation or depression and later progressed to T wave abnormality after chest pain subsided. T wave inversion less than 5 mm may still represents myocardial ischaemia, but is less severe than Wellens' syndrome. [5]

  5. Left axis deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_axis_deviation

    The hexaxial reference system is a diagram that is used to determine the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane.. In electrocardiography, left axis deviation (LAD) is a condition wherein the mean electrical axis of ventricular contraction of the heart lies in a frontal plane direction between −30° and −90°.

  6. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takotsubo_cardiomyopathy

    [37] [38] It classically mimics ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, and is characterised by acute onset of transient ventricular apical wall motion abnormalities (ballooning) accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, ST-segment elevation, T-wave inversion or QT-interval prolongation on ECG.

  7. Electrocardiography in myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography_in...

    The 2018 European Society of Cardiology/American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association/World Health Federation Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction for the ECG diagnosis of the ST segment elevation type of acute myocardial infarction require new ST elevation at J point of at least 1mm (0.1 mV) in two contiguous leads with the cut-points: ≥1 mm in all leads ...

  8. Intraventricular block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraventricular_block

    IVCD can be caused by abnormalities in the structures of bundle of His, Purkinje fibers or ventricular myocardium. [5] [6] Nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (NICD) is a delay with widened QRS complex but without a specific intraventricular block present. [7]

  9. ST segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_segment

    In electrocardiography, the ST segment connects the QRS complex and the T wave and has a duration of 0.005 to 0.150 sec (5 to 150 ms). It starts at the J point (junction between the QRS complex and ST segment) and ends at the beginning of the T wave.
