What does a widened QRS mean?
A “wide QRS complex” refers to a QRS complex duration ≥120 ms. Widening of the QRS complex is related to slower spread of ventricular depolarization, either due to disease of the His-Purkinje network and/or reliance on slower, muscle-to-muscle spread of depolarization.
What does an inverted QRS mean?
• Usually the QRS complex consists of positive. (upright) deflections called R waves and. negative (inverted) deflections called Q and S. waves. • If there is no R wave, the complex is called a QS.
What rhythms have a wide QRS?
Kardia Advanced Determination “Sinus Rhythm with Wide QRS” indicates sinus rhythm with a QRS, or portion of your ECG, that is longer than expected. This could indicate a bundle branch block in which there is a delay in the passage of heart’s electrical signals along the bottom of the heart.
What does T wave inversion indicate?
Despite this fact, inverted T waves in the setting of an appropriate clinical history are very suggestive of ischemia. Ischemia can be due to an acute coronary syndrome caused by rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque or due to factors increasing oxygen demand or decreasing oxygen supply such as severe anemia or sepsis.
What is P wave inversion?
If the P wave is inverted, it is most likely an ectopic atrial rhythm not originating from the sinus node. Altered P wave morphology is seen in left or right atrial enlargement. The PTa segment can be used to diagnose pericarditis or atrial infarction.
