How to Read an Electrocardiogram (EKG/ECG) - Nurse.org
WEBAug 23, 2024 · Being able to read an EKG or ECG is an important skill for nurses. But looking at a 12-lead EKG/ECG can put your own heart into a lethal rhythm. Nurses are usually the first ones to read that “hot off the press” EKG tracing. This article will explain everything you need to know about EKG readings.

WEBFigure 1. Electrode positions on an ECG (EKG). When electrical activity (or depolarisation) travels towards a lead, the deflection is net positive. When the activity travels away from the lead the deflection is net negative. If it is at 90 degrees then the complex is ‘isoelectric’ i.e. the R and S wave are the same size.
