Laboratory Activity 6 Data Collection Sheet Age______years Height_______cm Weight________kg Basic ECG Interpretation To begin to learn how to read a 12-lead ECG, you must first know the basics of ECG interpretation. General Questions 1. What do the following portions of the ECG represent: a. P-wave___ Atrial depolarization _________________ b. QRS complex_____ Ventricular depolartization _______________ c. T-wave______ Ventricular repolarization ______________ 2. What is the ST segment, and why is it significant? The St segment is the change, or the inbetween the ventricular depolarization and ventricular repolarization. 3. What is an ectopic beat? An abnormal heart beat. Supine ECG Interpretation For all interpretations, please use lead II. Wave Amplitude Polarity Duration (s) Within Normal Limits? P .2 mm Positive .06 Y/ N R .23 mm Positive .06 Y /N QRS complex Y/N T .3 Positive .08 Y /N ST segment .0 .52 R-R interval (in mm) 1. Using the measured R-R interval. Calculate the heart rate with the following equation: Heart Rate (bpm) = 1500 mm∙min -1 / R-R interval (mm) _____75 _____ bpm = 1500 mm∙min -1 / __________ mm 2. Is the heart rate: bradycardic (<60 bpm), normal (60-100 bpm), or tachycardic (>100 bpm) ? Heart rate was normal 3. Do the P waves and QRS complexes occur at regular intervals? Yes or No 4. Based on the presence or absence of a P wave, where is this rhythm originating (e.g. SA Node)? The p wave is present so the rhythm is originating from the SA node.
__________________________________ 5. Are there any ectopic beats present? Yes or No Standing ECG Interpretation For all interpretations, please use lead II. Wave Amplitude Polarity Duration (s) Within Normal Limits? P .1 mm Positive .04 Y/ N R .15 Positive .08 Y /N QRS complex Y/N T .3 mm Positive .10 Y /N ST segment .0 Positive .06 R-R interval (in mm) 1. Using the measured R-R interval. Calculate the heart rate with the following equation: Heart Rate (bpm) = 1500 mm∙min -1 / R-R interval (mm) _____93_____ bpm = 1500 mm∙min -1 / __________ mm 2. Is the heart rate: bradycardic (<60 bpm), normal (60-100 bpm), or tachycardic (>100 bpm) ? 3. Do the P waves and QRS complexes occur at regular intervals? Yes or No 4. Based on the presence or absence of a P wave, where is this rhythm originating (e.g. SA Node)? __________________________________ 5. Are there any ectopic beats present? Yes or No 6. Did the amplitude of the waveforms change after the subject changed position? Yes, it decreased slightly. 7. What happened to the heart rate after the subject changed position? Why did this change happen? The heart beat actually speed up, heart rate speeds up for blood to distribute throughout the body to compensate for the change in position making the blood rush to the lower half of the body.
