2024年11月17日 · Doubling the standard rate can reveal subtle ECG findings hidden at the slower rates, in particular atrial flutter waves in a 2:1 block: At 50mm/sec, P waves are more clearly discernible in a 2:1 ratio to QRS complexes

2023年6月5日 · If the vertical distance on the ECG trace and the baseline after the J-point is at least 1 mm in a limb lead or 2 mm in a precordial lead, it is clinically significant for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction.

2011年2月28日 · ST-elevation is significant when it is greater than 1 mm (1 small square) in 2 or more contiguous limb leads or >2mm in 2 or more chest leads. It is most commonly caused by acute full-thickness myocardial infarction.

The P-wave is frequently biphasic in V1 (occasionally in V2). The negative deflection is normally <1 mm. P-wave duration should be ≤0,12 seconds. P-wave amplitude should be <2,5 mm in the limb leads. P-pulmonale implies that the P-wave has an abnormally high amplitude in lead II (and in other leads in general).

2009年2月19日 · The current ECG standards for diagnosing acute ischemia/infarction require that ST-segment elevation be present in 2 or more contiguous leads and that the elevation of the ST segment at the J point be greater than 0.2 mV (2 mm with standard calibration) in leads V 1, V 2, and V 3 and greater than 0.1 mV in all other leads. 4 In the classic ECG ...

U Wave (The most ignored ECG waveforms): U waves are more prominent at slower heart rates and usually best visualized in the right precordial leads (V1-V3). Amplitude: 1-2mm or roughly < 1/3 the amplitude, in the same direction of the T wave in the corresponding lead.

2025年1月18日 · P-wave may be biphasic (diphasic) in V1 (the negative deflection should be <1 mm). It may have a prominent second hump in the inferior limb leads (particularly lead II). P mitrale : increased P-wave duration, enhanced second hump in lead II and enhanced negative deflection in V1.

2025年2月11日 · In the US, the ECG paper speed is generally 25 mm/s. Alternatively, a paper speed of 50 mm/s can be used. Machine calibration : 1 mV = 1 cm (i.e., 1 mV of electrical activity results in a 1 cm vertical deflection on the grid paper)

4 天之前 · Each large square (5 small squares) represents 0.2 seconds; Five large squares equal one second; For voltage calibration, the ECG machine is standardised so that 1 mV causes a 10 mm deflexion on the paper. This standardisation is essential for accurate diagnosis as small variations can significantly impact interpretation of ECG abnormalities.

To calculate the rate of a regular ECG, simply divide 300 by the number of large squares between two complexes. For irregular rhythms, count the number of complexes between 30 large squares and multiply by 10 (30 large squares = 6 seconds, assuming standard paper speed of 25 mm/s).
