About this document

EKG Waves and Heart Rate Guide by Jo is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document provides an overview of key components of an electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG). It defines the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave, and how they relate to atrial and ventricular depolarization and repolarization. Methods are described to calculate heart rate from regular or irregular rhythms. Intervals like the PR, QRS, and QT are defined, along with normal limits. The ventricular axis is also explained, identifying quadrants based on QRS deflections in leads I and avF.
