PQRST Measuring boxes Horizontal measure time: small box 0.04 seconds Large box 0.20 seconds Vertical voltage: small box 1mm or 0.1 mV large box 5mm or 0.5 mV P wave Atrial depolarization Small, smooth, rounded No taller than 2.5 mm No wider than 0.11 sec Q wave First downward deflection Should be less than 0.03 seconds in duration and less than 25% of the R wave Indicates myocardial infarction QRS Complex Represents ventricular depolarization T wave Ventricular repolarization Usually rounded Should be same direction as QRS Inverted T waves can be a sign of ischemia Peaked T waves can be a sign of hyperkalemia U wave Small rounded wave not always present, thought to be part of ventricular repolarization PQRST Chronic Stable Angina Angina (Stable Chronic) Most common sign of ischemic heart disease Myocardial oxygen demand is increased by exercise, smoking, eating heavy foods, weather extremes, emotional distress, etc… Atherosclerosis causes progressive fixed narrowing of the arterial lumen Relieved by rest or pharmacological interventions Goal is to prolong survival, reduce disease progression Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) Unstable Angina (UA) Non-ST Elevated Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) ST Elevation Myocardial
