ECG Interpretation and Analysis

ECG waveform illustration

📊 Part 1: ECG Fundamentals

1. What does ECG stand for?

Electrocardiogram

Electrocardiology

Electronic Cardiac Graph

Electrical Cardiac Generator

2. Which of the following are standard ECG lead placements? (Select all that apply)

Right arm (RA)

Left leg (LL)

V1-V6 chest leads

Behind the neck

3. A normal resting heart rate for adults is:

40-60 bpm

60-100 bpm

100-120 bpm

120-140 bpm

4. The P wave on an ECG trace represents:

Ventricular depolarisation

Atrial depolarisation

Ventricular repolarisation

Atrial repolarisation

📈 Part 2: ECG Analysis and Interpretation

5. Label the following components of a normal ECG waveform in the diagram below:

Components to label: P wave, QRS complex, T wave, PR interval, QT interval

6. Explain what happens in the heart during the QRS complex:
7. Calculate the heart rate if there are 15 QRS complexes in a 10-second ECG strip:
8. A prolonged PR interval (>0.2 seconds) may indicate:

Normal heart function

First-degree heart block

Ventricular tachycardia

Atrial fibrillation

⚕️ Part 3: Common ECG Abnormalities

9. Describe two key features that would help you identify atrial fibrillation on an ECG trace:
10. An ECG showing no P waves and a heart rate of 150 bpm with wide QRS complexes most likely indicates:

Sinus tachycardia

Ventricular tachycardia

Atrial flutter

Normal sinus rhythm

11. Explain why it's important to check lead placement before interpreting an ECG:
12. List three factors that could cause artefacts (interference) on an ECG recording:
