ECG Rhythm Interpretation

How to Analyze a Rhythm

The ECG Paper

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

Rhythm Analysis

Step 1: Calculate rate. Step 2: Determine regularity. Step 3: Assess the P waves. Step 4: Determine PR interval. Step 5: Determine QRS duration Step 6: ST -T

Step 1: Calculate Rate

300/No of large square between 2 R waves= 90 bpm

Step 2: Determine regularity

Look at the R-R distances (using a caliper or markings on a pen or paper). Regular (are they equidistant apart)? Occasionally irregular? Regularly irregular? Irregularly irregular? Interpretation?
Regular
R
R

Step 3: Assess the P waves

Are there P waves? Do the P waves all look alike? Do the P waves occur at a regular rate? Is there one P wave before each QRS? Interpretation?
Normal P waves with 1 P wave for every QRS

Step 4: Determine PR interval

Normal: 0.12 - 0.20 seconds. (3 - 5 boxes)

Interpretation?

0.12 seconds

Step 5: QRS duration

Normal: 0.04 - 0.12 seconds. (1 - 3 boxes)

Interpretation?

0.08 seconds

Step 6: ST -T

ST Start from S wave till the beginning of T wave

Reading 12-Lead ECGs
The best way to read 12-lead ECGs is to develop a step-by-step approach (just as we did for analyzing a rhythm strip). In these modules we present a 6-step approach: Calculate RATE Determine RHYTHM 3. Calculate INTERVALS 4. Determine QRS AXIS 5. Assess for HYPERTROPHY 6. Look for evidence of INFARCTION

QRS AXIS
