  2. QRS complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QRS_complex

    The Q, R, and S waves occur in rapid succession, do not all appear in all leads, and reflect a single event and thus are usually considered together. A Q wave is any downward deflection immediately following the P wave. An R wave follows as an upward deflection, and the S wave is any downward deflection after

  3. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    In a 12-lead ECG, all leads except the limb leads are assumed to be unipolar (aVR, aVL, aVF, V 1, V 2, V 3, V 4, V 5, and V 6). The measurement of a voltage requires two contacts and so, electrically, the unipolar leads are measured from the common lead (negative) and the unipolar lead (positive).

    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 ...

  5. Left axis deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_axis_deviation

    The easiest method is the quadrant method, where one looks at lead I and lead aVF. First, examine the QRS complex in both leads I and avF and determine if the QRS complex is positive (height of R wave > S wave), equiphasic (R wave = S wave), or negative (R wave < S wave). If lead I is positive and lead aVF is negative, then this is a possible LAD.

  6. Left anterior fascicular block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_anterior_fascicular_block

    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.

  7. ST depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_depression

    Non Q-wave myocardial infarction [3] Reciprocal changes in acute Q-wave myocardial infarction (e.g., ST depression in leads I & aVL with acute inferior myocardial infarction) [3] 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.

  8. Sgarbossa's criteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sgarbossa's_criteria

    Serial ECG changes — 67 percent sensitivity; ST segment elevation — 54 percent sensitivity; Abnormal Q waves — 31 percent sensitivity; Cabrera's sign — 27 percent sensitivity, 47 percent for anteroseptal MI; Initial positivity in V1 with a Q wave in V6 — 20 percent sensitivity but 100 percent specificity for anteroseptal MI

  9. Right bundle branch block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_bundle_branch_block

    QRS wave duration between 100 and 120 ms. rsr, rsR, or rSR in leads V1 or V2. S wave of longer duration than R wave or greater than 40 ms in leads I and V6. Normal R wave peak time in both V5 and V6, but greater than 50 ms in V1. The first three criteria are needed for diagnosis. The fourth is needed when a pure dominant R waver is present on ...
