QuestionAnswer
Normal Atria Depolarization begins at the SA node; travels from RA to LA via the intra-atrial septum; P-wave on ECG; RA is initial portion, LA terminal; 45° - 60° axis
Left Atrial Enlargement (LAE) Dx - P wave terminus in LEAD-V1 1 small box wide/deep; (time)(depth in mm) < -0.04; notched P-wave in LEAD-1 and LEAD-2 > .12 ms -> P mitrale; P-wave axis shift +15°
LAE Dx Valvular DZ -> Mitral Stenosis & Regurgitation; ↓ LV Compliance -> Chronic ↑ BP; Obstructive Cardiomyopathy; Aortic Stenosis; Aortic Regurgitation; Infiltrative Heart Disease; All ↑ P or V on the atria -> hypertrophy
Right Atrial Enlargement (RAE) Dx - P wave in LEADS II, II and aVf peak > 2.5 mm (P pulmonale); P wave is 75° +; Positice aspect of P wave in LEADS V1 or V2 > 1.5 mm
RAE Dx Valvular DZ -> Tricuspid Stenosis & REgurgitation; Pulmonary Hypertension -> COPD, Pulmonary Emboli, Interstitial Lung DZ, Sleep Apnea, Mitral Valve DZ, LV Systolic Dysfunction; Congenital Heart DZ -> Ebstein's Anomaly
Biatrial Enlargement Dx - Look @ P wave; Biphasic in LEAD V1; Beginning > 1.5 mm height; Terminus at least 1 mm depth; 0.04 s duration; P wave amplitude > 2.5 mm & > .12 s in LEAD II
Normal Ventricles Depolarization shown in QRS; Normal Axis: 30° - 105°
Ventricular Hypertrophy Caused by ↑ in load, pressure or volume in ventricles; ↑ in QRS voltage
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) Part 1 Dx - > 40 years; LIMB LEADS (low sen/high spec) - R wave in LEAD I and S wave in LEAD III > 25 mm; R wave aVL > 11 mm; R wave aVF > 20 mm; S wave aVR > 14 mm
Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (LVH) Part 2 Dx - > 40 years; PRECODIAL LEADS (high sen/low spec) - R wave V5 or V6 > 26 mm; R wave in V5 or V6 and S wave in V1 >35 mm; Largest R wave and Largest S wave in PRECODIAL LEADS > 45 mm
LVH Differential Dx Part 1 Aortic Stenosis, Aortic Regurgitation, Mitral Regurgitation, Systemic ↑ BP, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy; Sokolow + Lyon: V1(S) & V5(R) > 35mm; Cornell: V3(S) & aVL(R) > 28 mm (men) 20 mm (women)
LVH Differential Dx Part 2 Framingham: aVL(R) > 11 mm, V4-6(R) > 25 mm, V1-V3(S) > 25 mm, V1-V2(R) & V5-V6 > 35 mm IS(R) in III > 25 mm; Romhilt & Estes: Point Score System
Right Ventricular Hypertrophy (RVH) Right Axis Deviation: 110° +; R/S(V1) ration > 1; V1(R) < 7 mm; V1(S) < 2 mm; qR in V1; rSR' in V1 w/R' > 10 mm
RVH Differential Dx Part 1 Pulmonary Stenosis, Mitral Stenosis, Ventricular Septal Defect, Atrial Septal Defect, Pulmonary Hypertension (COPD, Pulmonary Emboli, Sleep Apnea, Interstitial Lung Disease
RVH Differential Dx Part 2 Causes large R wave in LEAD V1: Posterior Infarct, Muscular Dystrophy, Type A Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome, Right Bundle Branch Block
Biventricular Hypertrophy Dx - One or more criteria for RVH or LVH; LVH in PRECORDIAL LEADS axis > 90°
Ventricular Strain Pattern

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
