Key Points: Posterior OMI can hide on the standard 12-lead. Acute posterior coronary occlusion may produce no diagnostic ST elevation in the conventional leads. Instead, posterior ST elevation is seen…
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: The ST segment extends from the J point, where the QRS complex ends, to the beginning of the T wave. It represents the period after ventricular depolarization when…
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…
