HOAG ECG ACTUAL EXAM QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS COMPLETE
SOLUTION
◉ Exam coverage for the Hoag ECG Exam includes the principles of electrocardiography and the
interpretation of cardiac rhythms commonly encountered in clinical practice. It focuses on cardiac
anatomy and physiology, the electrical conduction system of the heart, ECG waveform analysis, lead
placement, heart rate calculation, rhythm interpretation, and identification of normal sinus rhythm. The
exam also evaluates understanding of atrial, junctional, and ventricular dysrhythmias, conduction
abnormalities, and recognition of clinically significant ECG changes.
◉ 0.36-0.44. Answer. normal QT interval
◉ 500. Answer. QT high limit
◉ QT interval. Answer. represents the total duration of depolarization and depolarization of phases
◉ HR. Answer. the higher the (), the shorter the QT interval
◉ Haldol, tikosyn, amiodarone. Answer. three meds that increase QTI
◉ atrial pacing. Answer. spike appears just before p
◉ 110-250. Answer. vtach rate
◉ ventricular pacing. Answer. spike appears just before qrs
◉ atrial and ventricular pacing. Answer. spike appears before and after p
