Hello Group It has been a quiet week here. Hope you are all safe this Holiday. I also just wanted to let you know, that Tom B. and I have recently successfully...
Hi all, Yes, as Nick said, a quiet week in EKG_club land, but not anywhere else! Was hoping to respoind to this sooner, but life and work got out of...
As mentioned before, my service uses LP10s... while I'm getting used to having a mile of ribbon paper to view, the quality doesn't seem to be as good as on the...
Cognitive failure, and lack of texts handy... What are the criteria that show T wave significance... height, duration, etc... Another way, what things say,...
Jon I feel your pain regarding LP10s. I went from LP3s to LP9s then LP12s and got used to them. Lead placement has been my biggest factor in toning down ...
Hi Jon, The biggest things are that they should not be symmetrical but asymmetrical (reverse checkmark). The upstroke should be slow and the downstroke fast...
Try putting your leads where their names say: Right arm, left arm, left leg. I usually put them there and get much better tracings than when I put them on...
I have been fortunate to have had the LP12 for the past 2 years. However, I was wondering where the common lead placement is for superior leads..?? I was...
I place them in the middle of the deltoids, which in my experience results in an accurate, clean tracing. Any lower on the arms and wandering baseline seems to...
We just re-evaluated where our limb leads were being placed. About 3 years ago we started consistently getting the arm leads off the chest, and saying that...
According to the local Physio rep for my neighborhood, it doesn't matter really *where* you place them, whether on the torso, or extremities, as long as you...
We haven't used LP10's in years, but I remember trying to use them for 12 lead. The diagnostic mode opens up all the filters that are in place to give you the...
Great reply! I was fascinated about the cable touching the floor. Great investigative work and something to keep in mind. Tom G ... ===== ++++++++++++++++++ ...

Nick - interesting comments...and certainly some good points/food for thought. Having said that, however, our instructions came from the head of cardiology at...
30 year old male with no complaints has a routine physical. Any observations worth mentioning? Tom B. P.S. You'll need power point to open this .pps file....
I see this: Normal sinus rhythm, normal QRS axis, no acute ST-T wave changes. Slurred initial component of the QRS especially in leads II, III, aVl, aVf and...

Hi all! We had this same discussion in our ekg dept. this week. Our policy is also to go under the breast. We had a surgeon ask us to repeat his patient's...
Tom B., Thank you for this interesting EKG strip! I believe this 30 yo man is exhibiting PAC's with aberrant conduction; causing the wide QRS complexes, BBB...
Ok.... its been a while Tom B, thanks for the mental challenge. I am thinking that the delta wave and repolarization pattern is possible Brugadas. Without...
I don't see wide QRS complexes, although the morphology does look a bit atypical to me, particularly in leads II, aVF, and V2. In leads II and aVF, there isn't...
I would call it a normal ECG with a slight interventricular conduction defect. That is the reason for the strange QRS complexes. Neil...
