A q-wave is an initial downward deflection in the QRS complex. These are normal in left-sided chest leads (V5, 6, lead I, aVL) as they represent septal depolarization from left to right. This is as long as they are <0.04secs long (1 small square) and <2mm deep. If q-waves are ...
Duration: 10 seconds.Several years ago, Pinciroli=-=[1]-=- began studying methods for determining the direction of the axis, in order to create ``virtual ECG leads'' which would represent what might be obtained from electrodes fixed in position relative to t...Pellegrini, A., Pinciroli,...
The P waves are abnormal, and they are tall, narrow, and peaked inleads II, aVF, and V1-V2. The P-wave morphology is characteristic ofaP pulmonale, a result ofright atrial hypertrophy. This may also betermed ari...

In this paper, we will review common feature extraction methodologies that have been applied to ECG signals over the years (refer to Fig.2), everywhere from single-lead ECGs to multi-lead ECGs (note that the number of leads used affects the complexity of the techniques discussed, and thus ...
What is an ECG? What does a normal ECG indicate?Question:What is an ECG? What does a normal ECG indicate?Cardiovascular Diseases:Cardiovascular diseases are those diseases that affect the normal functioning of the heart. The most common cardiovascular diseases are arrhythmias, congenital heart diseas...
information in ECG signals. The study presents a novel approach to ECG classification that considers the regional constraints of leads, offering promising classification accuracy in the PhysioNet Challenge 2021. This research underscores the potential of 3-D imaging and CNNs in advancing cardiac ...
There are also ST-T wave changes in leads I and V4-V6 (^), which are associated with left ventricular hypertrophy and represent chronic subendocardial ischemia. The axis is normal between 0° and +90° (positive QRS complex in leads I and aVF). The QT/QTc intervals are normal (400/...
3.2. Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) and Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB) Bundle Branch Blockis an interruption in the regular conduction system that leads to abnormalQRSmorphology. Typically, the right bundle depolarizes theRight Ventricle(RV). In an RBBB, the right bundle does not activate....
These diagnostic ECGs use 12 leads and are 10 s in length. For each ECG, the database provides a machine measurement. As the cardiologist reports are not yet published, we opted to use the text-based cardiological reports generated by the ECG machines to train the model. Under the ...
