    This document is a presentation on ECG rhythm interpretation that is divided into multiple modules. It introduces ECG basics like normal impulse conduction through the heart, the PQRST waveform, and pacemakers of the heart. It describes the ECG paper format and how to measure time and voltage. The presentation aims to teach participants how to recognize normal sinus rhythm and the most common rhythm disturbances, as well as diagnose a myocardial infarction on a 12-lead ECG. Learners are directed to a practice quiz after completing the first module on ECG basics. The document promotes a website for additional free medical presentations.

    (AV node/Bundle of His)

    (delay allows time for


    the atria to contract
    before the ventricles
    contract) For more presentations www.medicalppt.blogspot.com
    Pacemakers of the Heart

    SA Node - Dominant pacemaker with an


    intrinsic rate of 60 - 100 beats/minute.
    AV Node - Back-up pacemaker with an
    intrinsic rate of 40 - 60 beats/minute.
    Ventricular cells - Back-up pacemaker
    with an intrinsic rate of 20 - 45 bpm.

    The ECG Paper

    Horizontally
    One small box - 0.04 s
    One large box - 0.20 s
    Vertically
    One large box - 0.5 mV

    For more presentations www.medicalppt.blogspot.com


    The ECG Paper (cont)
    3 sec 3 sec

    Every 3 seconds (15 large boxes) is


    marked by a vertical line.
    This helps when calculating the heart
    rate.
    NOTE: the following strips are not marked
    but all are 6 seconds long.
