MODULE 1 Essential 12-Lead Interpretation
Essential 12-Lead ECG Interpretation • Goals • Recognize and localize AMI on the ECG • Feel comfortable with 12-lead interpretation
12-Lead ECG 080.0 0.080 80 milliseconds = 0.08 seconds
QRS • Q waves • Physiologic Q waves • < .04 sec (40ms) • Pathologic Q • >.04 sec (40 ms)
QRS • Q wave
Practice • Find J-points and ST segments
Practice • Find J-points and ST segments
ST Segment • Compare to TP segment ST TP
12-Lead ECG • AMI recognition • Two things to know • What to look for • Where you are looking
AMI Recognition • What to look for • ST segment elevation • One millimeter or more (one small box) • Present in two anatomically contiguous leads
ST Segment Elevation • Presumptive evidence of AMI • Indication for acute reperfusion therapy

Know what to look for ST elevation > 1mm Two contiguous leads Know where you are looking Use pocket card as a reference You will soon have this memorized AMI Recognition
Evolution of AMI • Hyperacute
Evolution of AMI • Acute
Evolution of AMI • Acute
Evolution of AMI • Age undetermined
AMI Recognition A normal 12-lead ECG DOES NOT rule out AMI
