EKG strip physiology question
Work with the following EKG strip for following questions: The EKG strip above is indicative of STEMI: ST-segment elevated myocardial infraction. Another common sign of acute MI is wide QRS complex. Research both pathological EKG signs and confirm their presence (or not) on this EKG strip. Furthermore, every EKG has universal voltage and time scale for interpretation of heart rate/period/amount of polarization etc. Again, learn how to apply this scale and answer following questions. What is the heart rate of this patient? Is the heart in a normal sinus rhythm? What part of heart is affected? Design a new method to diagnose the condition depicted above would like to see original bioengineering approach.Explanation / Answer
a.) The R waves are separated by 3 boxes so the heart rate is 300 / 3 = 100 bpm.
b.)The QRS complex is wide, and ST segment is Elevated and the heart is not having a normal sinus rhythm it also doesn't have a proper PQRS wave.
c.)aVF Variations show inferior myocardial infractions and changes in chest leads shows anterior or lateral myocardial infractions.
d.)Echodiagram or chest radiograph can be used.
