A waveform   refers to a positive (upright deflection) or negative (downward deflection) from the isoelectric line.  
🗑
The isoelectric line   is the straight line seen on the ECG strip.  
🗑
The waveforms produced   on the ECG graphing paper correlate with the heart’s electrical activity  
🗑
Baseline: This is a flat, horizontal line separating ECG cycles.   The baseline (or isoelectric line) is used as a reference point when centering the tracing  
🗑
The waves will deflect positively or negatively from the baseline. A positive deflection is characterized by an upward deflection above the isoelectric line as the electrical signal moves toward the electrode.   . A negative deflection is characterized by a downward deflection below the isoelectric line as the electrical signal moves away from the electrode.  
🗑
Segment:   This is the space between two waves  
🗑
Interval:   : This includes a combination of one or more waves and a segment. This represents the length of a wave.  
🗑
P wave   0.06–0.1 seconds Depolarization of the left and right atria  
🗑
PR segment   Represents the conduction time of the atrioventricular node, down the bundle of His and through the bundle branches. (Begins with the end of the P wave and finishes with the start of the Q wave.) Not really significant in disease.  
🗑
PR interval   Time interval from SA node through internodal pathways to the ventricles. (Begins with the start of the P wave through the start of the QRS complex.) 0.12–0.2 seconds  
🗑
QRS wave or complex   Conduction of impulse from the bundle of His through the ventricles; represents ventricular depolarization. Widening may suggest a ventricular escape rhythm disorder or a bundle branch block. 0.13 seconds  
🗑
ST segment   The time at which the entire ventricle is depolarized; end of the S wave to the beginning of the T wave. An elevation may indicate a myocardial infarction or pericarditis; a depression may indicate ischemia.  
🗑
QT interval   The total time from ventricular depolarization to complete repolarization; Begins at the start of the Q wave and ends at the end of the T wave. An increase in length predisposes the patient to an increased risk of tachycardia arrhythmias such as V-tac

The ECG paper is imprinted with two sets of squares. Each small square is 1 mm high and 1 mm wide, while each large square is 5 mm × 5 mm, and consists of 25 small squares   Each large square is outlined in darker ink for easy counting. Each small square is equal to 0.04 seconds and each large square is equal to 0.2 seconds.  
🗑
stylus (the wire that produces the tracing)   moves in response to the patient’s heartbeat, it melts the plastic, resulting in a tracing.  
🗑
The vertical   measure the amplitude or how high the complex deflects,  
🗑
the horizontal lines   measure the timing of the impulses  
🗑
The ECG paper normally runs through the machine at a rate of 25 millimeters per second (mm/sec). If the heart rate is elevated and the complexes are spaced too closely together for an accurate interpretation, the paper speed may be increased   the paper speed may be increased to 50 mm/sec, which will spread the complexes farther apart. The change in paper speed is usually automatically indicated at the top or bottom of the tracing.  
🗑
Electrodes, also known as sensors,   are attached to the patient and designed to detect electrical activity coming from the heart  
🗑
A standard ECG consists of a total of 12 leads;   however, only 10 sensors and lead wires are attached to the patient’s body  
🗑
Each lead transmits   a recording of the electrical impulses coming from the heart at different angles.  
🗑
Waves of depolarization moving TOWARDS a positive pole usually   result in a positive deflection  
🗑
waves of depolarization moving AWAY from a positive pole usually   result in a negative deflection  
🗑
If a particular lead produces a deflection other than what is anticipated   , it could indicate heart pathology or a problem with the placement of the electrodes.  
🗑
The limb electrodes are placed on the   fleshy, nonbony part of the patient’s upper arms and lower legs  
🗑
The tabs on the electrodes should be pointing downward on the arms   and upward on the legs to reduce tension or pulling on the electrodes.  
🗑
Electrode tabs on the chest should also be facing downward   and placed on the wall of the chest at the appropriate spaces.  
🗑
Leads I, II, and III are known as the “standard limb leads” and are often referred to as bipolar leads because   they record the electrical activity from two limb electrodes at the same time. .These leads measure the electrical activity of the heart between a negative (–) pole and a positive (+) pole  
🗑
Lead I records the difference in voltage   between the RA (– pole) and LA (+ pole);  
🗑
lead II records the difference in voltage   between the RA (– pole) and LL (+ pole)  
🗑
lead III records the difference in voltage   between the LA (– pole) and LL (+ pole)  
🗑
Note: The RL wire is used as a reference point or ground wire and is not part of the recording even though an electrode is placed on the right leg.   Note: The RL wire is used as a reference point or ground wire and is not part of the recording even though an electrode is placed on the right leg.  
🗑
The next three limb leads—aVR, aVL, and aVF— are known as the augmented leads and referred to as unipolar because only a single positive electrode is referenced against a “null point"   (a point with little or no significant electronic variation) between the remaining limb electrodes  
🗑
The aV stands for augmented voltage and is referred to as augmented because the electrical impulses from these three leads are very small   and the ECG machine must augment or increase their size to make them readable.  
🗑
The last letter in each of the augmented leads is an abbreviation   that relates to the positive pole or electrode used in each lead.  
🗑
Lead aVR (right arm) records the difference in voltage between the RA (the + pole)   and a midpoint between the LA and LL (the negative reference point).  
🗑
Lead aVL (left arm) records the difference in voltage between the left arm (+ pole)   and a midpoint between the RA and LL (negative reference point).  
🗑
Lead aVF (foot or left leg in this case) records the difference in voltage between the left leg (+ pole)   and a midpoint between RA and LA (negative reference point).  
🗑
The chest or precordial leads are the last six leads of the standard 12-lead ECG   and do not require any amplification because of how close they are to the heart  
🗑
V1: Fourth intercostal space at the   right margin of the sternum  
🗑
V2: Fourth intercostal space at the   left margin of the sternum
