Impulse GenerationUnder Usual circumstances
Impulse generated from pacemaker cells in SA node
Impulse then travels to AV node
Impulse then travels to Bundle of His
Impulse then travels to Right and Left Bundle Branches
Impulse travels to Perkinje Cells that innervate ventricles

EKG Graph
X Axis = time Y Axis = amplitude
Displays electrical activity of heart
Electrical impulse precedes contraction
Depolarization and repolarization are depicted as waves Atrial Depolarization = P wave Atrial repolarization occurs during ventricular
depolarization Ventricular depolarization = QRS complex Ventricular repolarization = T wave

EKG BasicsMeasures electrical potential between the
electrodes
AKA ‘Standard Limb Leads’
Leads I,II,III
Used to monitor only for dysrhythmias
Lead II most commonly used
![Page 13: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

![Page 15: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The P Wave SA node is pacemaker,
Impulse begins in SA node moves R-> L, and down
Rate 60 – 100
Precedes atrial depolarization
PR interval 0.12-0.2 sec
Determines atrial rate
Irregular P wave Afib/flutter PAC SVT AV Block
![Page 16: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The QRS Complex Represents normal
depolarization of the ventricles
Normal duration 0.06- 0.12 sec
Measured from Q wave (first deviation from isoelectric line) to S wave (the return to isoelectric line)
Abnormal QRS is abnormal depolarization PVC (wide bizarre QRS) BBB (prolonged QRS) Ventricular pre-excitation Cardiac pacemaker
![Page 17: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The T wave
Represents Ventricular repolarization
Occurs during end of ventricular systole
Typically in same direction as QRS complex
Lasts 0.10 – 0.25 sec
Irregularities most often caused by pharmacology
![Page 18: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Measuring the Waves
![Page 28: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
PR Interval Represents progression of electrical
impulse from the SA node or an ectopic pacemaker (in atria or AV junction) through entire conduction system of the heart to the ventricular myocardium
Normal duration 0.12 – 0.20
Irregular P waves demonstrate changes in atrial function (Afib/flutter, SVT, PAC)
PR >0.20 represents delayed conduction of impulse (AVB)
![Page 29: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
PAC’s Premature Atrial Contraction
P wave followed by normal QRS
Generally followed by noncompensatory pause
P waves vary, PR intervals normal
AV Ratio 1:1 Conduction
![Page 30: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
QRS ComplexRepresents normal
depolarization of the ventricles
Onset is point where first wave (Q) deviates from isoelectric line
End is where last wave (S) returns to isoelectric line
Duration 0.06 – 0.12
Irregular QRS complex correlate with changes in ventricular function (PVC, Vtach, Vfib)
![Page 31: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
QT IntervalRepresents time it takes for
ventricles to depolarize and repolarize
Prolonged QT associated with pericarditis, myocarditis, MI, LVH, hypothermia, CVA, increased IC trauma or hemorrhage, medication SE, electrolyte imbalances (K, Ca), or liquid protein diets
![Page 32: EKG’s Kelly Marchant RN July 28, 2015 Adapted from NURO 438 Cardiac Dysrhythmias](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081515/5697bfa01a28abf838c95152/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Irregular QRSRepresents
abnormal depolarization of ventricles
Irregular QRS present in Bundle Branch Block Ventricular
preexcitation Cardiac pacemaker

Take Home PointsEKG is measurement of ELECTRICAL activity
Electrical activity precedes mechanical activity
Use the 8 Step Method
Identifying Normal Rhythms will enable you to identify Irregular Rhythms
Changes in atrial function displayed as irregular P wave (Afib/flutter, PAC, AVB)
Changes in ventricular function displayed as changes in QRS complex (PVC, BBB)
