ECG History
Large and In Charge
It's Got Electrolytes
No Gimmick, It's a Mimic
ItSTEMI....a heart attack
100
The father of modern electrocardiography
Who is Willem Einthoven?
100
Lead II and Lead V1
What two leads are used to identify Atrial Enlargement?
100
This electrolyte imbalance is the most dangerous.
What is Hyperkalemia?
100
S1Q3T3 occurs in about 10% of patients with this diagnosis.
What is a Pulmonary Embolus?
100
What is a Lateral MI?
200
This lead is the most common lead for monitoring and provides a view of the ventricles.
What is Lead II?
200
Also known as P Pulmonale, this enlargement creates tall peaked T Waves in Lead II
What is RAE?
200
Tall peaked T Waves are indicative of this electrolyte imbalance.
What is Hyperkalemia?
200
Diffuse ST segment elevation may be indicative of this condition.
What is Pericarditis?
200
What is an Anterior MI?
300
This ECG complex represents atrial depolarization.
What is the P wave?
300
Also known as P-Mitrale, this enlargement shows a biphasic P Wave in Lead II and is biphasic with a large negative deflection in V1.
What is LAE?
300
This electrolyte helps with repolarization of the ventricles.
What is Calcium?
300
This syndrome is also referred to as "Broken Heart Syndrome"
What is Takatsubo Cardiomyopathy?
300
What is Anterolateral STEMI?
400
This ECG complex represents ventricular depolarization.
What is the QRS complex?
400
The most common cause of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy.
What is Hypertension?
400
This electrolyte imbalance causes prolonged PRI and increasing P wave amplitude while flattening the T Wave.
What is Hypokalemia?
400
What is Pericarditis?
400
What is Anterior MI with "Tombstoning"?
500
Changes in the EKG leads opposite the area of injury in the myocardium.
What are reciprocal changes?
500
What is LVH?
500
The fusion of the QRS complex with the T Wave in the absence of a P wave.
What is a Sine Wave or Sine Wave pattern?
500
What is Brugada Syndrome?
500
What is an Inferior MI with posterior extension?
