# ECG Interpretation Guide

## Image Description

The image displays an electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing on grid paper, which is used to measure the electrical activity of the heart. The tracing shows repeating wave patterns typical of an ECG, including P waves, QRS complexes, and T waves.

Each small box on the grid typically represents 0.04 seconds on the x-axis and 0.1 mV on the y-axis. 

## Instructions for Analysis

1. **Rate:** 
   - Determine the heart rate in beats per minute (bpm).

2. **Rhythm:**
   - **P-P Atrial Rhythm Regular?** Mark Yes/No.
   - **R-R Ventricular Rhythm Regular?** Mark Yes/No.

3. **Conduction:**
   - **All Waves Present?** Indicate Yes/No and note any missing waves.
   - **PR Interval:** Measure the duration (normal is 0.12 to 0.20 seconds). Check if it's greater than 5 small boxes.
   - **QRS Complex:** Measure duration (normal is less than 0.12 seconds). Check if it's greater than 3 small boxes.
   - **ST Segment:** Assess whether it is normal, elevated, or depressed.
   - **T Wave:** Determine if it's normal, spiked, or inverted.

4. **Ectopic Beats:**
   - **PACs (Premature Atrial Contractions)?** Mark Yes/No.
   - **PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions)?** Mark Yes/No. This image indicates "Yes."

5. **Interpretation:** 
   - Provide an overall assessment based on the collected data.

This guide can assist with diagnosing various cardiac conditions based on the ECG analysis.

### ECG Interpretation Practice

**Image Description:**
The image above displays an ECG strip graph, which features a visual representation of heart activity over time, marked by a series of peaks and troughs across a grid. Each division represents a specific time interval that is used to measure heart rate and rhythm.

**Exercise Details:**

1. **Rate: __________ bpm**

2. **Rhythm:**
   - **P-P atrial rhythm regular?** ___________ Yes/No
   - **R-R ventricular rhythm regular?** ___________ Yes/No

3. **Conduction:**
   - **All waves present?** Yes / No, missing __________
   - **PR interval:** ____ (> 5 boxes?)
   - **QRS:** ____ (> 3 boxes?)
   - **ST segment:** normal / elevated / depressed
   - **T wave:** normal / spiked / inverted

4. **Ectopic Beats:**
   - **PACs?** Yes/No
   - **PVCs?** Yes/No

5. **#16. Interpretation:** __________________________

---

This exercise is designed to help students analyze ECG traces for practicing accurate cardiac assessments, focusing on elements such as rhythm, conduction, and the identification of ectopic beats.
