An ECG may show signs of right heart strain or acute cor pulmonale in cases of large PEs – the classic signs are a large S wave in lead I, a large Q wave in lead III, and an inverted T wave in lead III (S1Q3T3), which occurs in 12–50% of people with the diagnosis, yet also occurs in 12% without the diagnosis. [73] [74]
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.
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.
