Key Points: Every ECG tracing is built from waveforms (deflections), segments (baseline portions between waveforms), and intervals (time that include waveforms plus segments). Waveforms describe electrical events (depolarization or repolarization)….
Key Points: Most missed occlusion MI. Isolated posterior occlusion MI is frequently missed because the standard 12-lead ECG often lacks ST elevation. Instead, posterior injury appears as reciprocal anterior ST…
Key Points Definition: The ST segment runs from the J point (end of QRS) to the start of the T wave, the interval between ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Normal: Usually…
Key Points Definition: The PR segment is the flat line from the end of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS. It reflects conduction through the AV node,…
Key Points Definition: The TP segment is the isoelectric interval from the end of the T wave to the start of the P wave. It reflects electrical diastole when the…
