Module title = Tutorial: Origins of Activity
Lesson title = The 4 Options
This is lesson 1 of 8 in this module
There are 4 options where the electrical activity can start in the heart:
Sino-atrial (SA) node
Atria
Atrio-ventricular (AV) node
Ventricles
We can determine the origin of the P wave and also the origin of the QRS. Usually, there is only 1 origin of electrical activity and it produces both the P wave and the QRS. However, sometimes there are 2 origins of electrical activity and one produces the P wave and the other produces the QRS. You will understand how and why this occurs in better detail after you finish the
next module on diagnostic criteria
.
If this lesson seems too easy so far, please be patient; the concepts will get more difficult. In fact, determining the origin(s) of the electrical activity is probably the
most difficult step
of analysing the ECG ... so be patient if you feel like you are struggling. Practice will make it easier.
On to the rules ...
Lesson 1 of 8
That was the last lesson!
