1 1 ECG Waveforms and Intervals ECG waveforms labeled alphabetically P wave== represents atrial depolarization QRS complex=ventricular depolarization ST-T-U complex (ST segment, T wave, and U wave)== V repolarization. J point = junction between end of QRS complex -beginning ST Segment Atrial repolarization =too low in amplitude to be detected, may become apparent in acute pericarditis and atrial infarction ECG CONVENTIONS AND INTERVALS Depolarisation towards electrode: positive deflection Depolarisation away from electrode: negative deflection Sensitivity: 10 mm = 1 mv Paper speed: 25 mm per second Each large (5 mm) square = 0.2 s Each small (1 mm) square = 0.04 s HR= 1500/R-R interval (mm) (i.e. 300 No. of large sq.between beats) 1
2 2 Origin of ECG waves & segments 1-Normal Complexes (waves) 2-Normal Intervals 3-Normal Segments and Junctions P wave Origin=produced by atrial depolarization Length(duration)= 0.12 second long or less Amplitude(height)(voltage)=2.5mm Direction= leftward and inferiorly in the frontal plane normal P wave -positive in lead II and negative in lead avr. normal P wave in lead V1 =biphasic with a positive component reflecting right atrial depolarization, followed by a small (<1 mm2) negative component reflecting left atrial depolarization. 2
3 3 Abnormalities of P wave Absent (ventricular or supraventricular arrhythmias) Relation of P wave to QRS complex Long P wave = Right atrial enlargement or hypertrophy, or interatrial conduction delay (conduction system disease. Notched=left Atrial enlargement (MS) Retrograde P waves (negative in lead II, positive in lead avr) (activation of atria from ectopic pacemaker in lower part of either atrium or in AV junction region) PR interval measures Atrio-Ventricular conduction time= 1- time required for atrial depolarization 2- normal conduction delay in AV node (approx sec.) 3- impulse propagation through His bundle and bundle branches to the onset of ventricular depolarization. Normal PR interval= second related to heart rate and to prevailing autonomic tone 3
4 4 QRS Complex QRS-T waveforms of surface ECG correspond in general way with =different phases of simultaneously obtained ventricular action potentials (intracellular recordings from single myocardial fibers Rapid upstroke (phase 0) of AP = onset of QRS. Plateau (phase 2) corresponds to = isoelectric ST segment Active repolarization (phase 3) = inscription of T wave. Nomenclature of QRS complex (ventricular depolarization). Q (q) wave =initial negative deflection = onset of ventricular depolarization; R (r) wave =first positive deflection = ventricular depolarization S (s) wave =negative deflection = ventricular depolarization that follows first positive (R) wave. QS wave =negative deflection that does not rise above baseline. R' (r') wave = second positive deflection and follows an S wave; s wave= negative deflection that follows r is termed; If s wave does not follow initial R wave==> second positive deflection ==> R'(r') wave.qrs complex ==> Rr (rr') complex. 4
5 5 Capital letters (Q, R, S) =waves greater than 5 mm; lowercase letters (q, r, s) =waves less than 5 mm. QRS Phases of vent.depolarization 1-Depolarisation of interventricular septum =moves from left to right==>small initial negative deflection in lead V6 (Q wave) and initial positive deflection in lead V1 (R wave). 2-activation of body of LV, =large positive deflection or R wave in V6 (with reciprocal changes in V1). 3-final phase of depolarisation =RV ==>produces small negative deflection or S wave in V6. Appearance of QRS Complex during Normal V. dep. Right precordial lead (V1) =biphasic depolarization process = small positive deflection (septal r wave) followed by a larger negative deflection (S wave). Left precordial lead-v6= same sequence with a small negative deflection (septal q wave) followed by a relatively tall positive deflection (R wave). Intermediate leads =relative increase in R-wave amplitude (normal R-wave progression) and decrease in S-wave amplitude progressing across chest from right to left. Precordial lead where R and S waves are of approximately equal amplitude ==transition zone (usually V3 or V 5

ST segment = begins at J point and ends at onset of T wave. usually isoelectric - may vary from -0.5 to +2 mm in precordial leads; considered elevated or depressed compared with portion of baseline between end of T wave and beginning of P wave (TP segment). ST-segment abnormalities are important diagnostically in acute myocardial ischemia and infarction and pericarditis Abnormalities of ST segment ST elevation ST depression 7

(usually positive) deflection preceding subsequent P wave; (??repolarization of intraventricular (Purkinje) conduction system Abnormities of U wave 1-Abnormal increase in U-wave amplitude drugs (dofetilide, amiodarone, sotalol, quinidine, procainamide, disopyramide) or 9
