Help - EKG terms - mt


Posted: Nov 26, 2012

I have 2 blanks not able to understand.  The first one sounds like oil or soil and the second one sounds like towish (tow like towel) maybe tawlish. 

A 12-lead EKG showed a slightly sinus _____ pattern in the 1 and _____ P wave in lead 2, so I cannot rule out the possibility of borderline atrial enlargement.

TIA

Foujnd one maybe the second - mt

In case anyone is guessing, the first was sinusoidal and I think the second is tallish.

EKG leads - sibcat

would go with sinusoidal if you don't hear an "n" sound, otherwise possibly sinus nodal, and tallish. Leads are normally transcribed as I, II, III, aVF, aVL, and V1 through V6

in lead 1 (not in "the" 1) - sm

agree with "tallish P wave".

maybe first blanks is "normal" and second is "sluggish" because there can be slow P waves.

I know I'm late to the party, but... - sm

1st blank possibly sinus nodal pattern in V1  (not "lead 1" or "the 1")


2nd blank possibly biphasic P wave


EKG leads:
limb leads I, II, III  (never 1, 2, 3)
augmented limb leads aVR, aVL, aVF
precordial leads V1, V2, V3, V4, V5, V6
