Prolonged Arterial Occlusion Worksheets

Intro paragraph? These worksheets are for self-study only. Answers will not be evaluated. Instructions and examples Instructions for Chapter 15 Worksheets Complete basic measurements. Note if inverted T waves or ST segment depression is present. Note the presence of Q waves or Q wave equivalents as described in columns A, B, and E in Figure […]

Prolonged Arterial Occlusion Case Studies

Case 1: Inferior Q wave infarction Tap the arrow to view the case.EKG: The first 0.04 seconds of the QRS are entirely negative in leads II, III, and AVF. These are significant Q waves (Figure 15.7).Visualization: The beginning of the QRS is pointing to the left and superiorly away from the inferior wall.Critical Thinking: The […]

Totally Occluded Artery Worksheets

Intro paragraph? These worksheets are for self-study only. Answers will not be evaluated. Instructions and examples Instructions for Chapter 14 Worksheets Complete basic measurements. Note if ST elevation is present in two or more leads that represent a pattern in Table 14.1. Describe this as ST elevation MI (STEMI) and note the location. In addition, […]

Totally Occluded Artery Case Studies

Case 1: Inferior STEMI: Syndrome of RCA occlusion Tap the arrow to view the case.EKG: The ST segment is positive in leads III and AVF (Figure 14.10).Visualization: The ST is pointing to the patient’s right side, which is toward the inferior wall (Figure 14.11).Critical Thinking: Since the ST segment is pointing toward the inferior wall […]

In this material Self-study learning goals Define and Identify the following: Start of the QRS. Normal direction of the start of the QRS. Define and identify an abnormal Q wave. Define and identify an abnormal Q wave equivalent. Describe an approach to the timing of Q waves as acute, recent, or old. Define and identify […]

14. Totally Occluded Artery: ST Elevation MI

In this material Self-study learning goals Define and identify the following: Normal ST segment. Normal ST segment amplitude. Define the two EKG criteria for abnormal ST segment elevation. List four clinical causes of ST elevation. Describe the expected EKG changes in ST elevation MI (STEMI). Describe the pathophysiology of STEMI. Define the Third Rule of […]

Partially Occluded Artery Worksheets

Intro paragraph? These worksheets are for self-study only. Answers will not be evaluated. Instructions and examples Complete basic measurements. Do all previous work. Note if inverted T waves or ST segment depression is present in two or more leads that represent a pattern in Table 13.2. Here the ST segments are diffusely abnormal. Provide an […]

Partially Occluded Artery Case Studies

Case 1: Inferior ischemia or infarction Tap the arrow to view the case.EKG: The T wave is negative in leads II, III, and AVF, but positive in I and AVL (Figure 13.13).Visualization: The T is pointing to the left and superiorly, away from the inferior wall (Figure 13.14).Critical Thinking: The T wave is pointing away […]
