The normal ECG Waveform:
P - Wave
How to write:
Deflection ≥ 5 mm = Large letter QRS
Deflection < 5 mm = small letter qrs
T-wave
• Represent repolarization of ventricle
• Positive on almost lead except on aVR & V1
• Height of the T-wave :
– ≤ 5 mm on limb lead
– ≤ 10 mm on precordial lead
Gelombang U
• Represent the recovery period of the purkinje fibres.
• Positive deflection after T-wave and before the next
• Usually positive in lead V2 & V3
• Biasanya tegak dan paling besar terdapat di V2 dan
V3.
• U-wave often unclear because hidden in T-wave.
• Height = 1/10 of T-wave amplitude
INVERSI - U
ST Segment
• ST segment begins at the end of the S wave and terminates
at the upsroke of the T-wave.
• The J point (junction point) marks where the S wave ends
and the St segment begins.
• Normal value : ISOELECRIC
• ST Segment that is above a isoelectric line called ST
segment elevation.
• ST segment that is under a isoelectric line called ST segemnt
depression.

PR Interval
• PR Interval is measured from the beginning
of P-wave to the beginning of QRS
complex.
• Normal duration is 0.12 – 0,20 second.
QT Interval
• Represents the depolarization and
repolarization of the ventricles.
• Is measured from the beginning of
QRS complex to the end of T-wave.
• Depends on heart rate.

How to calculate heart rate ?
www.uptodate.com
(300 / 6) = 50 bpm
What is the heart rate?
www.uptodate.com
(300 / ~ 4) = ~ 75 bpm
What is the heart rate?
Rhythm : reguler
HR : 60-100 bpm
P-wave : normal, every P is always followed by QRS
PR Interval : normal (0,12 - 0,20 second)
QRS Complex: normal (0,04 – 0,10 second)
ECG INTERPRETATION
• If the normal ECG is
known then
interpretation of
abnormal becomes
easier
