Electrocardiogram ECG/EKG Dr. PANKAJ

Electrocardiogram When impulses passes through heart then electrical current also spreads to the surrounding tissues and to surface of body. When electrodes are placed on the surface then it can record the electrical activity . This is known as EC G.

ECG paper -ECG paper: contains small and large squares. -Each small square is 1 mm and large square is 5mm -Time is measured along horizontal line and each small square is 0.04 sec and each large square is 0.2 sec. -Voltage is measured along vertical line and 10 mm is equal to 1 mV -ECG paper moves at 25 mm/s speed, i.e. 1500 squares/min

ECG leads 3 t ypes o f le ads : Hor izont al pl ane leads : 1.Chest leads/precordial leads: V1, V2, V3, V4,V5,V6 Fro nta l p la ne leads : 2.Bipolar leads/standard/Einthoven’s leads: I,II,III 3.Augmented unipolar leads: aVR, aVL, aVF

Placement of leads Augmented leads: aVR: right arm aVL: left arm aVF: left foot Ch est le ad s V1: in 4th ICS at right sternal border V2: in 4th ICS at lft sternal border V3: midway between V2 and V3 V4: 5th ICS in lft MCL V5: anterior axillary line in 5th ICS V6: mid axillary line in 5th ICs

The more cardiac muscle is stretched within physiological limits, the more forcibly it will contract. Rubber band analogy Increasing volumes of blood in ventricles increase the stretch & thus the force generated by ventricular wall contraction. Greater stretch means more blood volume is pumped out, up to physical limits.

Increased blood volume = increased stretch of myocardium

Increased force to pump blood out.

ECG waves & genesis P wave: normally upright , signifies atrial depolarisation <2.5mm height and 0.11 sec duration QRS complex: ventricular depolarisation N: 0.08 – 0.12 sec T wave: ventricular repolarisation U wave: it is positive deflection which comes after T wave. Is due to slow repolarization of interventricular purkinje fiber. Often it is not evident in ECG R-R interval: distance between two successive R wave P-R interval : time taken for impulse to travel from SA node to ventricles 0.12-0.22sec QT interval: total time for ventricular depolarisation and repolarisation <0.42 sec

Axis Normal axis lies between -30 and +110 degree Left axis deviation: -30 and -90 degree Right axis deviation: +110 and +/- 180 degree Intermediate axis : -90 and +/- 180 degree

Uses of ECG 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Aids diagnosis, prognosis and treatment Gives information regarding functioning of atria and ventricles Identify damage to heart (infarction) Identify abnormal rhythm and rate Identify change in size of chambers of heart

Some A bn orm ali ti es i n ECG

P wa ve : a) p wave wide and notched (p-mitral)-left atrial hypertrophy b) p wave tall and peaked ( p-pulmonale) –right atrial hypertrophy

QRS compl ex: Tall QRS- ventricular hypertrophy Tall peaked T wave- hyperkalemia Low or inverted T wave- myocardial ischemia

U wave : Prominent U wave- hypokalemia

ST seg men t: Elevated with convexity upward-myocardial infaction Depressed- angina pectoris

PR i nter va l: Increased PR interval -Bradycardia Decreased PR interval- tachycardia No PR interval- complete heart block

Normal sinus rhythm

RVH

Coronary infarction

Sinus tachycardia

Ventricular tachycardia following extrasystole
