ECG (main)

Measurement

• 1 small box = 1mm = 0.04 sec = 40 miliseconds
• 5 small boxes = 1 big box = 5mm = 0.2 sec = 200 miliseconds
• Entire ECG strip is ~10 seconds

Primary Analysis

• ECG Rhythms
• ECG Axis
• Low ECG Voltage

Segments & Intervals

• ST Elevation
• ST Depression
• QT Prolongation

Interval	Time (s)	Boxes
