Acerca del Clinical ECG Interpretation

Aproximación a la interpretación del ECG. Cómo leer un electrocardiograma (ECG)

Learning the art of ECG interpretation requires intellect, commitment, effort and — perhaps most importantly — an organized approach.

ECGs Made Easy?

I imagine it is understood that learning all of ECG interpretation is going to take more than 10 minutes of your time and that it is not quite so easy. To be proficient, it will take a bit of effort. Some memorization and pattern recognition will be required. The more you see, the more you will remember. Having a pair of calipers is helpful.

Step 1. Learn the Basics of a 12-lead ECG Tracing

First things first. Knowing the basic parts of an ECG tracing will lay a good foundation for everything else that is to come. The different waves, complexes and intervals need to be ingrained in your brain. How many seconds is a full ECG tracing? How much time does each big box and each little box represent?

This is not the time to learn the crazy things such as the different P-wave morphologies that occur with atrial enlargements and ectopic atrial rhythms — but rather, just to know what the normal P wave looks like and what it represents. It’s a similar concept for the other parts of the ECG.

Read ECG Basics.

Step 2. Determine Heart Rate on the ECG

To determine whether bradycardia, a normal heart rate or tachycardia is present requires the knowledge to calculate the heart rate on the ECG. Remember to apply these techniques to both the atrial rate, measured by the rate of the P wave, and the ventricular rate, measured by the rate of the QRS complex.

Read Determining Rate.

Step 3. Determine Axis on the ECG

The axis on the ECG can give a clue to many different pathologic states. Unless you are going into electrophysiology as a career, the only axis that you need to measure is that of the QRS complex.

Be sure to know the causes of left axis deviation, right axis deviation and when the axis is indeterminate (northwestern). Also, know the quick shortcuts to determine the axis.

Read Determining Axis.

Step 4. Learn Abnormal Heart Rhythms

Learning a normal sinus rhythm was taken care of in Step 1. Now, learn the below rhythms like the back of your hand. Be sure to review multiple examples of each in the individual ECG Reviews and Criteria sections below.

Atrial Fibrillation ECG

Atrial Flutter ECG

Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia (AVNRT) ECG

Atrioventricular Reentrant Tachycardia (AVRT) ECG

Ectopic Atrial Rhythms ECG

First-Degree Atrioventricular (AV) Block ECG

Idioventricular Rhythms ECG

Junctional Rhythms ECG

Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia (MAT) ECG

Second-Degree Atrioventricular (AV) Block Type I (Wenkebach) ECG

Second-Degree Atrioventricular (AV) Block Type II ECG

Sinus Arrhythmia ECG

Sinus Bradycardia ECG

Sinus Tachycardia ECG

Third-Degree Atrioventricular (AV) Block ECG

Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) ECG

Wandering Atrial Pacemaker (WAP) ECG

Step 5. Learn Chamber Hypertrophies and Bundle Blocks

Sometimes this can be the most difficult part. Atrial enlargements are not too bad, but the criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy can drive you crazy. No need to memorize then all, just the main two or three.

Left and right bundle branch are not too bad, either. The “bunny ears” are easy to spot in right bundle branch blocks — though not always present. Don’t forget to learn what a non-specific interventricular conduction delay looks like, as well.

Step 6. Learn Acute MI and Ischemic ECG Findings

Step 7. Learn the Everything Else Including Atypical ECG Findings

Step 8. Review ECGs in Real Patient Case Scenarios

Step 9. Teach Others How to Read an ECG
