ECG analysis Exam Questions and Correct Answers 100% Verified Graded A+
Each box is how many seconds? - 0.2
A typical strip covers how many seconds - 6 secs
Isoelectric line refers to - 0 (baseline)
P wave that is longer than how many seconds is prolonged - 0.20
Peaked p waves indicate - Right atrial hypertrophy
Inverted p waves indicate - SA node is not pacemaker
Missing p waves indicate - Junctional or AV block
Normal duration of PR interval - 0.12-0.20 seconds
Normal duration of QRS complex - 0.06-0.10 seconds
Prolonged QRS means - Slow conduction (BBB, Vt, PVC)
, ST elevation indicates - Myocardial injury
ST depression indicates - Myocardial ischemia
ST segment expected findings - Should be on isoelectric line
Peaked T waves indicate - Hyperkalemia
Notched T waves = - Pericarditis
Inverted T waves = - Ischemia
What time period of a QT interval requires interventions - >0.44 secs
Prolonged QT interval causes (3) - Electrolyte imbalances, bradycardia, antiarrhythmic
meds
Shortened QT interval causes (3) - Tachycardia, hypercalcemia, dig toxicity
Atrial rate is measured by what in a ekg strip - P to p wave
Ventricular rate is measured by what in ekg strip - QRS to QR; determines HR
