ECG STRIPS
### Electrocardiogram (ECG) Interpretation Examples #### Example 1: - **Graph Description**: This ECG strip spans 26 boxes horizontally. - **Heart Rate**: 58 beats per minute. - **Rhythm**: Irregular. - **P Waves**: Shown. - **QRS Complexes**: Narrow with a P-R Interval of 0.12 seconds. - **Interpretation**: Sinus bradycardia with an AV block. #### Example 2: - **Graph Description**: This ECG strip spans 22 boxes horizontally. - **Heart Rate**: 68 beats per minute. - **Rhythm**: Regular. - **P Waves**: None observed. - **QRS Complexes**: Wide, with no measurable P-R Interval. - **Interpretation**: Accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR). #### Example 3: - **Graph Description**: This ECG strip spans 21 boxes horizontally. - **Heart Rate**: Approximately 160 beats per minute. - **Rhythm**: Irregular. - **P Waves**: Shown, but wide. - **QRS Complexes**: Narrow, with a P-R Interval of at least 0.16 seconds. - **Interpretation**: Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). These examples provide insights into how to analyze and interpret various ECG readings. Understanding each component, such as heart rate, rhythm, presence and morphology of P waves, QRS complex width, and P-R interval duration, is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
