Description
Electrocardiogram: Origin, spread, and effect of excitation.
Objectives
Scope:
• Relation between electrical and mechanical activity
• Dipoles
• Timing of cardiac action potentials recorded during inscription of an ECG complex; including the concepts of action potentials designated as manifest vs those designated as concealed
• Potential decline with increasing distance from the heart
• Solid angle theorem
• Volume conductor
• Spread of excitation in the ventricles
- Early Activation
- Later Activation
- Latest Activation
- Relation of Spread of excitation in the ventricles to the Morphology of the QRS Complex
