  2. QRS complex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QRS_complex

    An R wave follows as an upward deflection, and the S wave is any downward deflection after the R wave. The T wave follows the S wave, and in some cases, an additional U wave follows the T wave. To measure the QRS interval start at the end of the PR interval (or beginning of the Q wave) to the end of the S wave.

  3. Myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction

    The dead tissue is surrounded by a zone of potentially reversible ischemia that progresses to become a full-thickness transmural infarct. [76] [79] The initial "wave" of infarction can take place over 3–4 hours. [73] [76] These changes are seen on gross pathology and cannot be predicted by the presence or absence of Q waves on an ECG. [78]

    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.

  6. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_myocardial...

    Diagnose myocardial infarct via physical exam and EKG (plus blood test) A diagnosis of myocardial infarction is created by integrating the history of the presenting illness and physical examination with electrocardiogram findings and cardiac markers ( blood tests for heart muscle cell damage ).

  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.

  9. ST elevation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_elevation

    Following infarction, ventricular aneurysm can develop, which leads to persistent ST elevation, loss of S wave, and T wave inversion. [1] Weakening of the electrical activity of the cardiac muscles causes the decrease in height of the R wave in those leads facing it. In opposing leads, it manifests as Q wave. However, Q waves may be found in ...
