ib‐‐EKG showing ventricular fibrillation in leads II through IV

Calculations

• Millimeters to Millivolts (10mm=1mv)– Suppose that we are looking to calculate the amplitude of the “P”wave. 

• So you would measure the “P” wave, lets say that it is 2mm.

• Then plug it into the equation Amplitude of the P wave = 2mm x 1mV = 0 2 mVAmplitude of the P wave = 2mm x 1mV = 0.2 mV

10mm

• This equation can be used to calculate the Millivolts of any wave on an ECG.

Calculations

• Millimeters to Seconds (25mm = 1 sec)– Suppose that you wanted to measure the duration of an interval.

• So you would measure the width of the wave, and the PR wave is 4mm. 

• Then you would plug it into this equationDuration of the PR wave = 4 mm x 1 sec = 0 16 secDuration of the PR wave = 4 mm x 1 sec = 0.16 sec.

25 mm

Calculations

• Artial Rate‐ is the number of atrialt ti i tcontractions per minute.

– This is determined by measuring the PP interval distance. (Suppose 30 mm)

– Then plug it into this equation:1 P wave x 1 atrial contraction x 25 mm x 60 sec = 50 Contraction

30 mm 1 P wave 1 sec 1 min        1 minute

– Now to calculate the ventricular rate… assume that the atrial and ventricular contraction rates are the same.

Calculations

• Ventricular rate‐ is the number of ventricular t ti i tcontractions per minute.

– So in order to figure the ventricular rate out you need to measure the RR interval. (30 mm)

– Then plug that number into this equation1 QRS x 1 ventricular contraction x 25 mm x 60 sec = 50 Contraction

30 mm 1 QRS 1 sec 1 min        1 minute

– If the numbers from the atrial and the ventricular rate come out as the same number… You have calculated a correct heart rate

Acute Myocardial Infarction• Is also known as a Heart Attack.

• Is when the blood supply to part of the heart is interrupted; most commonly because of an occlusion (blockage) of the coronary artery.

• This is what it looks like on the ECG:

Cardiac Arrhythmia

• Literally meaning “abnormal electrical ti it ”activity”

– Whether the pulse is bradycardic (slow) or tachycardic (fast)

• Bradycardic‐ can be caused by a slowed sinus node or a blockage of electrical activity to the atria

T h di b d b h i l ti it t• Tachycardic‐ can be caused by physical activity or stress
