Represents atrial depolarization?
What is the P wave?
We push on patient's shins to test for it
What is Edema?
The most common condition found through ECG for heart failure patients
(hint: in prechordial leads)
What is Left ventricular hypertrophy?
the septal leads
what is V3/V4?
detects abnormalities that cause/worsen heart failure but can't be used to officially diagnose
what is ECG?
Needed for a rhythm to be considered sinus rhythm?
What is a P wave before every QRS and a QRS after every P wave?
The most common reported symptom for heart failure

What is Normal axis?
The 2 tests/imaging ordered first for a patient with shortness of breath and poor O2 perfusion
what is an ECG and a chest X ray?
The normal width of a PR interval?
what prolonged capillary refill, clammy, discolored skin indicates
What is poor oxygen perfusion?
ECG signs (2) of left ventricular hypertrophy
what is poor R wave progression (late)
abnormally high negative V1-V3
The artery supplying leads I, avL, v5 and v6
LCX
something that symptoms of heart failure are often mistaken for by patients
