2. Pericarditis 3. Left Bundle Branch Block 4. Left Ventricular Hypertrophy 5. Benign Early Repolarization 6. Brugada Syndrome 7. Prinzmetal's angina 8. Pulmonary Embolism 9. Ventricular Aneurysm 10. Hyperkalemia |
|
EKG findings in Hyperkalemia
|
* Peaked T waves
* Flat P waves * Prolonged PR interval * Wide QRS * Sine Wave |
|
EKG findings in Benign Early Repolarization
|
* Diffuse ST segment elevations (V2, V3, V5)
* ST Segment is concave * J point is elevated with ST segement |
|
EKG characteristics of WPW
|
* Short PR interval (<0.12 sec)
* Widening of QRS (>0.10) * Delta wave |
|
EKG characteristics of pericarditis
|
* ST elevation (diffuse)
* PR depression * ST elevation height> T wave * NO reciprocal changes (can be in AvR) |
|

SVT with BBB |
|
Hypothermia
1. J (Osborn Waves) 2. Sinus bradycardia, junctional rhythms 3. Prolongation of all intervals 4. Slow irregular atrial fibrillation 5. Ventricular fibrillation 6. Asystole |
|
Causes of Prolonged QT interval (5)
|
1. Hypokalemia
