Each small square represents 0.04 seconds Each large square represents 0.2 seconds 5 large squares = 1 second 300 large squares = 1 minute ECG timing How the 12-lead ECG works Understanding the difference between an ECG electrode and an ECG lead is important: An ECG electrode is a conductive...
The ECG can be broken down into the individual components. For the purpose of this we will look at lead II (see Figure 4). All boxes are based on the assumption that the paper speed is running at 25mm/sec, therefore 1 large square is equivalent to 0.2 secs and a small square to 0.0...
Non-invasive fetal electrocardiography (NI-fECG) is one of the most promising methods that has shown reliable results for long term monitoring of fetal heart rate (fHR)2. This technique records electrical potentials using the electrodes placed on the maternal abdomen. The signals measured are a ...
ECG paper is marked with a grid of small and large squares. Each small square represents 40 milliseconds (ms) in time along the horizontal axis and each larger square contains 5 small squares, thus representing 200 ms. Standard paper speeds and square mark...

Each 0.2-second square is further divided into five small squares of 0.04 seconds each. Voltage, or the strength of the heart’s electrical impulses, is represented on the vertical Y-axis. Each micro-volt, mV, positive electrical current raises the stylus 1cm or one large square. The ...
Each small square represents 40 milliseconds in time. To make time measurements easier, the small squares are grouped into intervals of 5 that make up a large, bold square measuring at 200 milliseconds. To measure heart rate, the count of boxes from the peak of one R-wave to the peak of...
ST-elevationis significant when it isgreater than 1 mm(1 small square)in 2 or more contiguous limb leadsor>2mm in 2 or more chest leads. It is most commonly caused byacute full-thickness myocardial infarction. ST elevation ST depression ...
ECG was monitored using a 2-lead configuration, whereby one electrode was placed under the right clavicle near the right shoulder and the other under the left clavicle along the mid-clavicular line within the rib cage. The left mastoid ground electrode was used as a reference for the ECG ...
An ECG chart has large and small red squares printed on. The standard scale is the x-axis is time with one large square being 200mS the y-axis is voltage with one large square being 0.5mV. Of course, the doctor could have fiddled with the knobs of the ECG machine and changed the ...
