Electrophysiologic backround for ECG evaluation Prof. J. Hanáček, MD, PhD
Scheme of horizontal cut of chest with projection of chest leads and direction of atrial and ventricular depolarisation
Evaluation of ECG curve • Basicinformation on thepatient –agegender, reasonforrecording ECG, preliminaryDg • Technicalparametersof ECG curve – speedofrecording, sensitivityofrecording device 3) Date and timeof ECG recording
Heart rhythms • Sinusrhythm • Atrialrhythm • Junctionalrhythm (atrio-ventricular) • Ventricularrhythm ● Heartrhythmisnotheart rate, isnotregularityofheartfunction ● Heartrhythmmeanslocalisationofsourceof electricalimpulsforactivationofheart
Sinus rhythm • heartfunctioniccontroled by sinusnodeactivity Characteristicsofsinusrhythm: • Thereshouldbe P wave in front of QRS complex • P waveisnegativ in aVRlead and positive in aVFlead • P waveshouldhavenormalduration and shape
Junctional rhythm • Polarity of P wave is changed • Localisation of P wave is also • changed
