The Bix Rule (Unmasking Atrial Flutter)
Key Points: The Bix Rule is a bedside ECG clue for atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. If an apparent “P wave” sits exactly halfway between 2 QRS complexes in a…
ECG Foundations: Vectors, Leads, & Activation
Key Points: An ECG records voltage differences over time. The ECG tracing is a plot where the horizontal axis is time and the vertical axis is voltage. Leads are viewpoints….
Proper ECG Electrode Placement
Key Points A diagnostic 12‑lead ECG is only as good as your electrode placement. Misplacement can mimic MI, BBB, or poor R‑wave progression and trigger unnecessary workups. A standard 12‑lead…
The Lewis Lead (Unmasking Atrial Activity)
Key Points: Purpose: The Lewis Lead (modified S5 lead) is a bedside ECG modification designed to enhance visualization of atrial activity. It is particularly useful for differentiating VT from SVT…
Dextrocardia
Key Points Dextrocardia is a congenital condition where the heart is located on the right side of the thorax. Situs inversus totalis refers to complete reversal of all thoracic and…
