24. What is the heart rate? (300 / 6) = 50 bpm www.uptodate.com

25. What is the heart rate? (300 / ~ 4) = ~ 75 bpm www.uptodate.com

26. What is the heart rate? (300 / 1.5) = 200 bpm

29. What is the heart rate? 33 x 6 = 198 bpm The Alan E. Lindsay ECG Learning Center ; http://medstat.med.utah.edu/kw/ecg/

31. The QRS Axis By near-consensus, the normal QRS axis is defined as ranging from -30 ° to +90 ° . -30 ° to -90 ° is referred to as a left axis deviation (LAD) +90 ° to +180 ° is referred to as a right axis deviation (RAD)

33. Determining the Axis Predominantly Positive Predominantly Negative Equiphasic

36. Quadrant Approach: Example 1 Negative in I, positive in aVF  RAD The Alan E. Lindsay ECG Learning Center http://medstat.med.utah.edu/kw/ecg/

37. Quadrant Approach: Example 2 Positive in I, negative in aVF  Predominantly positive in II  Normal Axis (non-pathologic LAD) The Alan E. Lindsay ECG Learning Center http://medstat.med.utah.edu/kw/ecg/

39. Equiphasic Approach: Example 1 Equiphasic in aVF  Predominantly positive in I  QRS axis ≈ 0° The Alan E. Lindsay ECG Learning Center ; http://medstat.med.utah.edu/kw/ecg/

40. Equiphasic Approach: Example 2 Equiphasic in II  Predominantly negative in aVL  QRS axis ≈ +150° The Alan E. Lindsay ECG Learning Center ; http://medstat.med.utah.edu/kw/ecg/
