ECG History
Large and In Charge
It's Got Electrolytes
No Gimmick, It's a Mimic

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?
