### ECG Interpretation Guide

#### Example 19:
- **Rhythm:** 
- **Rate:** 
- **P Waves:** 
- **QRS Complexes:** 
- **P-R Interval:** 
- **Interpretation:**

*Graph Explanation:* The graph displays a continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) tracing with standard grid lines for measurement. Interpretations are to be done by assessing the various waveform components in relation to the categories listed above.

#### Example 20:
- **Rhythm:** Irregular
- **Rate:** 50
- **P Waves:** Shown
- **QRS Complexes:** Varies
- **P-R Interval:** 0.12
- **Interpretation:** Sinus brady into vent tachy

*Graph Explanation:* This portion of the ECG graph shows an irregular heartbeat with a rate of 50 beats per minute. P waves are visible before each QRS complex, though the QRS complexes vary in shape and interval. The P-R interval measures 0.12 seconds. The interpretation indicates a transition from sinus bradycardia (slow heart rate) into ventricular tachycardia (rapid heart rate).

#### Example 21:
- **Rhythm:** 
- **Rate:** 
- **P Waves:** 
- **QRS Complexes:** 
- **P-R Interval:** 
- **Interpretation:**

*Graph Explanation:* The third graph in the sequence displays a continuous ECG tracing. Evaluations should be based on defined criteria for rhythm, rate, P wave presence, QRS complex duration, and P-R interval measurement for accurate interpretation.

*Note:* For accurate ECG interpretation, comprehensive understanding of each ECG component is essential. Use this guide to fill in the critical details during your analysis.
