3. P wave:
a. Absent P wave: Af Q
b. P mitrale: wide P wave (>2.5mm),
indicates left atrial enlargement
Q
Extra Edge:
In case of Sub arachnoid hemorrhage increase QT
interval with wide T wave inversion occurs This is
known as CVA T wave pattern
7. ST segment:
a. ST elevation: Acute MI, Prinzmetal's
angina, acute pericarditis (saddleshaped), left ventricular aneurysm.
b. ST depression: digoxin, angina, acute
posterior MI.
8. T wave:
a. Peaked in hyperkalemia Q and Hyperacute
phase of acute MI.
b. Flattened in hypokalemia Q.
9. Hyperkalemia:
a. Tall, tented T wave Q,
b. Prolong PR
c. P-Wave disappear (atrial arrest)
stick sign) Q.
14. In digoxin toxicity, any arrhythmia or block may
occur (ventricular ectopics and nodal bradycardia
are common) bigeminy Q is also common. Nonparoxysmal atrial tachycardia with variable block
is characteristic.Q
Extra Edge:
In digoxin toxicity all types of arrhythmias and blocks
can happened but atrial flutter, type II B block do not
occurQ.
15. Bundle branch block Delayed conduction is
evidenced by prolongation of QRS >0.11s (LQ
2012).
a. In RBBB, the following pattern is seen:
QRS >0.11s, 'RSR' pattern in V1 dominant
R in V1, inverted T waves in V1-V4, deep
wide S wave in V6.
degree AV block)
b. Right Bundle Branch Block
c. Either left anterior fascicular block or left
posterior fascicular block
Important Points:
Trifascicular block also is said to occur in cases of
alternating RBBB with LBBB (Ref. Hari. 18th ed., pg
-1835)
18. Pulmonary embolism: Sinus tachycardia Q is
the commonest. There may be RAD, RBBB,
Causes:
i. left anterior hemiblock Q,
ii. Inferior MI.
iii. Right pneumothorax
iv. LVH
v. ASD (septum primum)(LQ
2012)
Causes Q:
i. RVH,
ii. PE,
iii. Anterolateral MI,
iv. Left posterior hemiblock,
v. Left pneumothorax.
vi. ASD (Septum secundum)
20. Causes of low voltage QRS complex Q: (QRS
<5mm in all limb leads)
a. Hypothyroidism
b. Emphysema
c. Pericardial effusion
21. Hypothermia :
a. Bradycardia,
b. Osborn (J) wave
22. Electrical alternans : It is seen in cardiac
tamponade due to changes in the ventricular
electrical axis due to fluid in the pericardium.
23. Athletes = ECG finding seen are
a. Bradycardia,
b. Ist degree
c. A degree heart block,
d. Increase QRS voltage,
e. T inversion. (In athletes on
auscultation S3 is heard normally)
24. MI:
a. Within minutes, the T wave may
become peaked Q (Earliest features)
Q.
b. With in 2-3 hrs, ST segments may
begin to rise (Pardees sign) Q
c. Within 8-12 hrs, the T wave inverts
Q
Extra Edge:
Causes of ST elevation in ECG (LQ 2012)
1. Acute MI
2. Prinzmetal angina
3. LV aneurysm
4. Acute pericarditis
Site of MI
Extra Edge:
Dobutamine Qor dipyridamole Qmay be used if the
patient cannot exercise:
