ECG Analysis for Students

This document contains an ECG lab report template for a student to record and analyze electrocardiogram data from 3 different conditions: supine, seated, and post-exercise. The template includes tables to record heart rate, ventricular systole and diastole durations, and ECG component durations and amplitudes. It also provides questions for the student to analyze changes between conditions, compare their data to norms, and test their understanding of cardiac physiology concepts demonstrated by the ECG such as the cardiac pacemaker system, effects of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity, and the purpose of intervals like the AV delay.

  • Data and Calculations: Collects and calculates physiological data such as heart rate and systolic/diastolic measurements relevant to ECG analysis.
  • Questions: Provides a series of analytical and interpretative questions based on the ECG data, focusing on understanding physiological mechanisms and comparison to normative data.
  • Components of the ECG: Details the ECG components, their normal values, and provides a comprehensive table for analyzing ECG readings.

Note Interpreting ECGs is a skill that requires practice to distinguish between normal variation and those arising
from medical conditions. Do not be alarmed if your ECG does not match the ―normal values‖ and references
above and in the Introduction.

II. Questions
A. Using data from table 5.3:
1) Explain the changes in heart rate between conditions. Describe the physiological mechanisms causing these
changes.

2) Are there differences in the cardiac cycle with the respiratory cycle (segment 3 data)?

B. Using data from table 5.4:


1) What changes occurred in the duration of systole and diastole between resting and post-exercise?
Lesson 5: ECG I Page 17

C. Using data from table 5.5:


1) Compared to the resting state, do the durations of the ECG intervals and segments decrease during exercise?
Explain

2) Compare your ECG data to the normative values. Explain any differences.

3) Compare ECG data with other groups in your laboratory. Do their data differ? Explain why this may not be unusual.

D. In order to beat, the heart needs three types of cells. Describe the cells and their function.
1) ____________________________________________________________________
2) ____________________________________________________________________
3) ____________________________________________________________________
E. List in proper sequence, starting with the normal pacemaker, elements of the cardiac pacemaker system.

F. Describe three cardiac effects of increased sympathetic activity, and of increased parasympathetic activity.
Sympathetic

Parasympathetic

G. In the normal cardiac cycle, the atria contract before the ventricles. Where is this fact represented in the ECG?

H. What is meant by ―AV delay‖ and what purpose does the delay serve?

I. What is the isoelectric line of the ECG?
