  2. Left bundle branch block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_bundle_branch_block

    Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a conduction abnormality in the heart that can be seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG). [1] In this condition, activation of the left ventricle of the heart is delayed, which causes the left ventricle to contract later than the right ventricle.

  3. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG [a]), a recording of the heart's electrical activity through repeated cardiac cycles. [4] It is an electrogram of the heart which is a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart [ 5 ] using electrodes placed on the skin.

  4. T wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_wave

    ECG would be abnormal in 75 to 95% of the patients. Characteristic ECG changes would be large QRS complex associated with giant T wave inversion [4] in lateral leads I, aVL, V5, and V6, together with ST segment depression in left ventricular thickening. For right ventricular thickening, T waves are inverted from V2 to V3 leads.

  5. Right axis deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_axis_deviation

    Bifascicular block is a combination of right bundle branch block and either left anterior fascicular block or left posterior fascicular block. Conduction to the ventricle would therefore be via the remaining fascicle. The ECG will show typical features of RBBB plus either left or right axis deviation. [7] [8]

  6. Left axis deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left_axis_deviation

    The hexaxial reference system is a diagram that is used to determine the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane.. In electrocardiography, left axis deviation (LAD) is a condition wherein the mean electrical axis of ventricular contraction of the heart lies in a frontal plane direction between −30° and −90°.

  7. Right bundle branch block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_bundle_branch_block

    The criteria to diagnose a right bundle branch block on the electrocardiogram: The heart rhythm must originate above the ventricles (i.e., sinoatrial node, atria or atrioventricular node) to activate the conduction system at the correct point. The QRS duration must be more than 100 ms (incomplete block) or more than 120 ms (complete block). [9]

  8. P wave (electrocardiography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_wave_(electrocardiography)

    Bifid P waves (known as P mitrale) indicate left-atrial abnormality - e.g. dilatation [6] or hypertrophy. [1] If at least three different shaped P waves can be seen in a given ECG lead tracing, this implies that even if one of them arises from the SA node, at least two others are arising elsewhere.

  9. U wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U_wave

    A 'U' wave as seen on Electrocardiogram (ECG) An electrocardiogram of an 18-year-old male showing 'U' waves, most evident in lead V3. The U wave is a wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It comes after the T wave of ventricular repolarization and may not always be observed as a result of its small size.
