1 Rapid 12-Lead EKG Interpretation Jon Tardiff, BS, PA-C OHSU Clinical Assistant Professor What a 12-Lead EKG can help you do Diagnose ACS / AMI Interpret arrhythmias (computer Dx) Identify life-threatening syndromes (WPW, LGL, Long QT synd., Wellens synd., etc) Infer electrolyte imbalances Infer hypertrophy of any chamber Infer COPD, pericarditis, drug effects, and more! Disclosures: I work for Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center. And I am a medical editor for Jones & Bartlett Publishing. For example: 73 y.o. male with nausea, syncope 5 Goals for today s ECG Review: Determine Right vs Left bundle branch block Diagnose Acute MI Diagnose old MI Location of the infarct Other Acute Coronary Syndromes Other ECG confounders Determine Axis Pfun! 3 Acute Inferior MI ST elevation 6
2 What rhythm? (look at V1 for P waves) WPW with Atrial Fib 10 Atrial flutter (w/septal MI?) The flutter waves are invisible in Lead II WPW Graphic Wolff-Parkinson-White synd. short PR wide QRS delta wave another example 9 Same pt, converted to SR 12
3 Limitations of a 12-Lead ECG Truly useful only ~40% of the time Each ECG is only a 10 sec. snapshot Serial ECGs are necessary, especially for ACS Other labs help corroborate ECG findings (cardiac markers, Cx X-ray) Confounders must be ruled out (dissecting aneurysm, pericarditis, WPW, LBBB, digoxin, RVH) 13 hrs later Acute Anterior MI Elevated ST segments 16 Confounder: Left Bundle Branch Block Impending AMI with normal ECG! Confounder: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome ECG Pearls Pt is a 4 y.o. child w/ one episode of tachycardia and shortness of breath. WPW mimicking MI (false Q waves in Lead II, III, AVF, V1, & V3). Also mimicking LBBB. Lead II is the easiest lead to read / most intuitive But Lead V1 is our single best lead. Lead V3 is best for QT interval measurement A Q in III is free. (isolated Q in L III) 80% of reading an ECG is finding the P wave! The other half is knowing where the + electrode is.

7 V Lead Cutaway V Lead Progression Lots of ways to read EKGs QRSs wide or narrow? Regular or irregular? Fast or slow? P waves? Sinus rhythm or not? If not, is it atrial fibrillation? BBB? MI? Step-by-step method for reading a 12-Lead Symptoms: Syncope is bradycardia, heart blocks, or VT Rapid heart beat is AF, SVT, or VT 41 Normal 12-Lead ECG Rapid Interpretation Tips Rapid Interpretation Tips Identify the rhythm. If supraventricular*, If no LBBB, If present, Rule out other confounders: WPW, pericarditis, LVH, digoxin effect Identify location of infarct, and consider appropriate treatments: MONA, PCI [or fibrinolytic], nitrate infusion, heparin infusion, GP IIb, IIIa inhibitor, betablocker, clopidogrel, statin, etc.
8 Supraventricular rhythms Sinus rhythm Atrial fibrillation Junctional rhythm PSVT / AVNRT Atrial tachycardia Atrial flutter Wandering atrial pacemaker MAT The Problem with Bundle Branch Blocks Desynchronized contraction of the ventricles Reduced cardiac output Worsened heart failure LBBB confounds the EKG interpretation and makes it harder to find ACS Normal 12-Lead ECG Bundle Branch Blocks (QRS > 0.12 sec.) (right-sided lead) (left-sided lead) V1 R r I notch S Right BBB (V1, V2, MCL1: rsr pattern) Left BBB (L I, V5, V6: upright QRS with a notch) 47 Rapid Interpretation Tips Rapid Interpretation Tips Identify the rhythm. If supraventricular, If no LBBB, If present, Rule out other confounders: WPW, pericarditis, LVH, digoxin effect Identify location of infarct, and consider appropriate treatments: MONA, PCI [or fibrinolytic], nitrate infusion, heparin infusion, GP IIb, IIIa inhibitor, betablocker, clopidogrel, statin, etc. Bundle Branch Blocks Two QRSs Healthy ventricle Blocked bundle V1 R notch slur r I I S 48

24 Case report: 58 y.o. male c/o chest tightness and shortness of breath x 20 minutes, which gradually subsided. Recurrent episodes over several months. Pt thought it was acid reflux, but finally goes to ED. Pt is noncompliant with statin therapy, & admits to poor diet. Family Hx cardiac disease. Hx HTN. Meds: Plavix, ACE inhibitor. EKG follows. What treatment? Excellent outcome: Pt is active, healthy, has improved diet, is compliant with meds; and has inspired thousands of Americans to go to their physician for cardiac evaluations The Bill Clinton Effect HIPPA note: this is not Bill Clinton s actual ECG! Angiography reveals 90% occlusion in some coronary arteries. But he did have CABG & became adherent to his meds Ischemia / Impending MI no loss of R waves yet but inverted T waves Treatment: quadruple CABG (coronary artery bypass graft).
