12-Lead EKG
MEPN Level IV

OBJECTIVES
• Discuss the changes in T wave and
ST segment morphology with an MI
• List the criteria for identification of
right or left bundle branch blocks.
• List the anatomically congruent
leads associated with an inferior,
lateral and anterior wall MI
• Describe morphology of Q wave
presence

ECG Leads
• 6 limb leads (frontal plane)
– 3 bipolar leads
– 3 unipolar leads
• 6 precordial leads (horizontal plane)
– V1 – V6

AUGMENTED (UNIPOLAR) LEADS
Augmented leads
combine 2 leads
together (the null
point) from the
center point of the
triangle with one
positive pole.

combination of
bipolar Leads I
and II

• Myocardial ischemia
– Various definitions are used. The term
commonly refers to diffuse ST
segment depression, usually with
associated T wave inversion
• Myocardial injury
– Injury always points outward from the
surface that is injured with ST
segment elevation
16
Ischemia, Injury, Infarction
Waveforms
17
ST
Segments
ST segment should be electrically
neutral
18
• Visual aid in
determining:
– Ischemia or
injury to
myocardium
– Normal should
be at baseline
– Depressed ST
segment - >2
mm below
baseline

EKG 1
21
ST Segment Elevation
• ST segment elevation is attributed
to impending infarction
– but can also be due to pericarditis or
vasospastic (variant) angina.
• The height of the ST segment is
measured at a point 2 boxes after
the end of the QRS complex
– significant if it exceeds 1 mm in a limb
lead or 2 mm in a precordial lead.
22
EKG 2
23
T Waves
• T waves are normally positive in
leads with a positive QRS
• T waves are normally asymmetrical
• T waves are normally not more
than 5 mm high in limb leads or 10
mm high in precordial leads or 2/3
the height of the R wave

ST-T Wave
• Combination of infarction and often
hyperkalemia
• Called Tombstone ‘T’ because of
the shape.
• Usually a sign of impending cardiac
death.

Pathology of an MI
29
Localization of ECG Pathology
• Inferior: Abnormalities that appear
in leads II, III, and aVF (called the
inferior leads) indicate pathology on
the inferior or diaphragmatic
surface of the heart.
• Lateral: Leads I, aVF, and V5-V6
are called lateral leads. Abnormality
in these leads indicates pathology
on the lateral, upper surface of the
heart.
• Anterior: Anterior pathology is
seen in leads V1-V4, and often in
lead I.

EKG Changes from Infarction
First Detectable
Change in EKG
•Tall T-waves
•increase in height
•more symmetric
•may occur in the
first few minutes
Hyper-acute Phase
33
Acute Phase
•ST Segment Elevation
•Primary indication of injury
•Occurs in first hour to hours
ST Segment Elevation in Leads
•1mm or greater in limb leads
•2 mm or greater in chest leads
•Hallmark indication of AMI

Q Waves
• Definition
– Septal depolarization
– Normally present in I, aVL, V6
49
Two types of Q
waves
– Non-pathologic
• Narrow, shallow Q
waves
• Not visible in all leads
– Pathologic
• > 0.04 in duration; at
least 1/4 to 1/3 height of
R wave
• Represent an infarcted
area of myocardium
50
PATHOLOGICAL Q WAVES
51
Bundle Branch Blocks
If the QRS duration is > .12
there is usually an abnormality of
conduction of the ventricular
impulse
52
RBB Block
Most common ventricular
conduction defect
Can be acute or chronic
Acute RBBB is associated
with an acute anterior MI
