Basics of the Electrocardiogram and Common Cardiac Dysrhythmias/Arrhythmias
This document relates the waves of the electrocardiogram to the action potential with a focus on the ions involved and disturbances of the ecg. The placement of each of the ecg leads and subsequent heart area is also summarized including blood supply to each heart area. Each type of dysrhythmia is summarized and an example ecg tracing is provided. The document finishes with a summary of the causes of cardiac arrest that can be medically reversed.
