The half along the positive side of the lead axis is the positive hemisphere. Any resultant heart vector in that hemisphere has a...
ECG axis ECG history ECGs by Example AboutNormal ECGNormal adult 12-lead ECG The diagnosis of the normal electrocardiogram is made by excluding any recognised abnormality. It's description is therefore quite lengthy. normal sinus rhythm each P wave is followed by a QRS P waves normal for ...
ECG interpretation traditionally starts with an assessment of the P-wave. The P-wave reflects atrial depolarization (activation). The PR interval is the distance between the onset of the P-wave to the onset of the QRS complex. The PR interval is assessed in order to determine whether impulse...
The J point on the normal ECG indicates the junction between the QRS complex and the ST segment and, thereby, the end of activation of the ventricles on the ECG. From: Journal of Electrocardiology, 2013 About this pageSet alert Discover other topics On this page Definition Chapters and Articl...
Example ECGNormal sinus rhythm in a healthy 18-year old male: Regular rhythm at 84 bpm. Normal P wave morphology and axis (upright in I and II, inverted in aVR) Narrow QRS complexes (< 100 ms wide) Each P wave is followed by a QRS complex The PR interval is constant...

Standard ECG paper allows an approximate estimation of the heart rate (HR) from an ECG recording. Each second of time is represented by 250 mm (5 large squares) along the horizontal axis. So if the number of large squares between each QRS complex...
