Here's a summary of what was covered across all 10 conditions, each with a real clinical ECG image:
- STEMI — Convex ST elevation in a vascular territory, reciprocal changes, evolving Q-waves
- Atrial Fibrillation — No P-waves, irregularly irregular rhythm, fibrillatory baseline
- Complete AV Block — Full AV dissociation with independent P-wave and escape rhythms
- Ventricular Tachycardia — Wide-complex tachycardia, AV dissociation, concordance pattern
- LVH — Voltage criteria (SV1+RV5 >35 mm), lateral strain pattern (ST depression + T inversion)
- WPW Syndrome — Short PR interval, delta wave, widened QRS, pre-excitation triad
- Acute Pericarditis — Diffuse concave ST elevation, PR depression, Spodick's sign
- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy — Giant T-wave inversions, deep narrow Q-waves, LVH voltage
- Pulmonary Embolism — Sinus tachycardia, S1Q3T3 pattern, right ventricular strain signs
- Long QT Syndrome — Prolonged QTc >480 ms, T-wave morphology subtypes, Torsades de Pointes
Each entry includes the specific leads affected, morphological criteria, and clinical context to help you recognize these patterns at the bedside or on exams.
