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 ...
The ST segments can be elevated in all leads except AVR and rarely, in V I (see ECG in definition pericarditis). Symmetrical T- wave inversion (due to epicardial "ischemia") usually develops after the ST segments have returned to baseline (but can can appear during the injury stage). ...
In LBBB you will see wide complexes with a negative (sometimes W shaped) complex in V1 and an M pattern in V4 -V6 and T wave inversion in the anterolateral leads. The T wave inversion is due to abnormal repolarization (after abnormal depolarization) rather than ischaemia. From first princip...
If not identified and properly treated the mean time from onset of symptoms to extensive anterior wall MI is *8.5 days* What will you see on an EKG with Wellens syndrome? Progressive *(i.e. V3 deeper than V2)*symmetrical, deep T wave inversion in chest leads V2 and V3. ...
Left ventricular hypertrophy (in the lateral leads) Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(widespread) General illness Around 50% of patients admitted to ITU have some evidence of T wave inversion during their stay. Observe the distribution of the T wave inversion (e.g. anterior/lateral/posterior leads). You...
