Keterangan
Elektrokardiografi (ECG atau EKG) adalah teknik medis non-invasif yang merekam perilaku listrik jantung dengan menempatkan elektroda pada permukaan kulit, biasanya di dada, lengan, dan kaki. Elektroda ini mendeteksi depolarisasi dan repolarisasi otot jantung, menerjemahkannya ke dalam representasi visual pada elektrokardiogram. Bentuk gelombang yang dihasilkan, yang terdiri dari gelombang P, QRS, dan T, memberikan wawasan tentang kesehatan jantung. Profesional medis menggunakan EKG untuk mendiagnosis aritmia, iskemia (berkurangnya suplai darah), ketidakseimbangan elektrolit, dan kondisi jantung lainnya. Data EKG membantu dalam keputusan pengobatan, penilaian risiko, dan pemantauan efektivitas intervensi, menjadikannya alat yang sangat diperlukan dalam kardiologi dan pengobatan darurat.

Ringkasan
- The presentation focuses on the fundamentals of ECG interpretation, emphasizing its significance in cardiac diagnosis and management. It covers the historical context, highlighting Enthoven's Nobel Prize-winning work, and underscores the ECG's capacity to reveal various cardiac conditions and abnormalities.
- The core principles of ECG are explained, including depolarization (contraction) and repolarization (relaxation) within the cardiac cycle. The presentation details the normal conduction pathway, starting from the SA node to the Purkinje fibers, emphasizing the importance of electrode placement for accurate readings.
- The presentation thoroughly explains the ECG leads, including bipolar and unipolar types, as well as standard, augmented, and precordial leads. The correct placement of V1-V6 precordial leads is emphasized, highlighting potential errors and their impact on interpretation. Right-sided and posterior leads are also discussed in the context of specific conditions like inferior MI.
- ECG paper calibration and standardization are thoroughly detailed. The presentation meticulously explains the significance of small and large squares, highlighting how to measure amplitude and duration accurately. Speed settings are emphasized with the need for normal standardization is 10mm and 25mm per second speed.
- Methods for calculating heart rate from the ECG are presented, including the rule of 300 and the 10-second rule. Normal intervals, such as PR, QRS, and QT, are defined, and their clinical significance in identifying heart blocks and other conduction abnormalities is explained.
- The presentation discusses axis deviation, providing a simplified method using leads I and aVF to determine left or right axis deviation. P-wave analysis is explained, including features indicative of right or left atrial enlargement. QRS complex morphology and its variations are also discussed.
- Criteria for identifying left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) using ECG voltage measurements are presented. The presentation also highlights ST-segment analysis, focusing on ST elevation in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and ST depression in ischemia. T-wave abnormalities and the presence of U waves are also discussed.
- Finally, the presentation highlights ECG findings in specific conditions such as hyperkalemia (tall, tented T waves), hypokalemia (U waves), and digitalis effect. The importance of understanding normal ECG patterns before interpreting abnormalities is stressed.
