Ekg Interpretation Steps. Look for pathological q waves. To do this place a piece of scrap paper over the ecg and mark a dot next to the top of a qrs complex draw another dot next to the top of the next qrs then slide the paper along the ecg. High voltage exists if the amplitudes are too high i e if the following condition is satisfied. Always stick to the fundamental concepts like the normal heart rate which is 60 100bpm or in the ekg strip it will be seen as 3 5 big boxes between the 2 r s.
Look for pathological q waves. S wavev1 or v2 r wavev5 35 mm. If the rhythm is regular you should see that your two dots match to the tops of the qrs complexes throughout the ecg. I personally have. Check the date and time that the ecg was performed. Confirm the name and date of birth of the patient matches the details on the ecg.
Using all the data that were gathered from the previous steps it s time to interpret the ekg strip.
