Q wave: Duration up to 40 ms in leads other than III and aVR [6] Amplitude less than 1/3 QRS amplitude [6] (R+S) Amplitude less than 1/4 of R wave [6] Abnormality indicates presence of infarction [6] R wave: Left ventricle: lead V5 or V6 < 45 ms [7] Right ventricle: lead V1 or V2 < 35 ms [7] Large amplitude might indicate of left ventricular ...
The T wave inversion in V1-4 and a marked Q wave in III occur; these changes are characteristic for Ebstein's anomaly and do not reflect ischemic ECG changes in this patient. Other abnormalities that can be seen on the ECG include: signs of right atrial enlargement or tall and broad 'Himalayan' P waves
In the lateral leads (I, aVL, V 5-V 6) the QRS complexes are usually predominantly positive with a slow upstroke last >60ms to the R-wave peak. [4] Notching may be seen in these leads but this is not universal. The small Q-waves that are usually seen in the lateral leads are absent in LBBB. [4]
It is calculated as the time from the start of the Q wave to the end of the T wave, and approximates to the time taken from when the cardiac ventricles start to contract to when they finish relaxing. An abnormally long or abnormally short QT interval is associated with an increased risk of developing abnormal heart rhythms and sudden cardiac death.
Schwartz score to aid diagnosis of inherited long QT syndrome. [37] Corrected QT interval (QTc) ≥ 480 ms 3 points QTc defined according to Bazett's correction: 460–470 ms 2 points 450 ms and male gender 1 point Torsades de pointes: 2 points T-wave alternans: 1 point Notched T-waves in at least 3 leads 1 point Low heart rate for age (children)
Hyperacute T waves need to be distinguished from the peaked T waves associated with hyperkalemia. [16] In the first few hours the ST segments usually begin to rise. [17] Pathological Q waves may appear within hours or may take greater than 24 hr. [17] The T wave will generally become inverted in the first 24 hours, as the ST elevation begins to ...
rS pattern (small r, deep S) in the inferior leads II, III, and aVF; Delayed intrinsicoid deflection in lead aVL (> 0.045 s) LAFB cannot be diagnosed when a prior inferior wall myocardial infarction (IMI) is evident on the ECG. IMI can also cause extreme left-axis deviation, but will manifest with Q-waves in the inferior leads II, III, and aVF.
Rule 6: The R wave in the precordial (chest) leads grows from V1 to at least V4 where it may or may not decline again. Rule 7: The QRS is mainly upright in I and II. Rule 8: The P wave is upright in I II and V2 to V6. Rule 9: There is no Q wave or only a small q (<0.04 seconds in width) in I, II and V2 to V6.
