why is qrs complex inverted?

Wider than a normal QRS (usually ≥0.12 second) c. The QRS morphology is generally bizarre. d. A preceding P wave is absent; however, retrograde conduction of a premature ventricular contraction can occasionally result in an inverted P wave after the QRS complex.

The T wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG) represents typically ventricular repolarization. [1][2] However, various waveform morphologies may present as an indication of benign or clinically significant injury or insult to the myocardium.

As septal depolarization moves from left to right, the depolarization vector is directed towards the - electrode of lead II (RA), and therefore a negative-going deflection (Q-wave) is produced.

Inverted T waves. Ischemia: Myocardial ischemia is a common cause of inverted T waves. Inverted T waves are less specific than ST segment depression for ischemia, and do not in and of themselves convey a poor prognosis (as compared to patients with an acute coronary syndrome and ST segment depression).

A right bundle branch block typically causes prolongation of the last part of the QRS complex and may shift the heart's electrical axis slightly to the right. ... Left bundle branch block widens the entire QRS, and in most cases shifts the heart's electrical axis to the left.

This double negative of direction and charge is why the T wave is positive; although the cell becomes more negatively charged, the net effect is in the positive direction, and the ECG reports this as a positive spike. However, a negative T wave is normal in lead aVR.

The ECG has a target viewpoint of the left ventricle In precordial leads, the current is flowing toward the active electrode The polarity of the P wave and the QRS complex are positive and upright waveforms in leads: I, II, III, and aVF .

How to recognize electrical and mechanical capture. Electrical capture will result in a QRS complex with a T wave after each pacer spike. Mechanical capture will cause palpable peripheral pulses and usually a noticeable improvement in patient condition.

When ECG waves are tall, R or S waves may extend into the QRS complexes above or below them. To prevent this superimposition, the whole ECG may be calibrated at 5mm/mV. Some ECG recorders detect tall ECG waves and switch from one calibration to another automatically.

if you look at the tire and its obvious that the left and right of center are the same just inverted, its pretty clear that they are symetrical and non directional.

If the resonance is so strong (fields decay very slowly), the wiggling of the fields can sometimes cause a positive slope and makes a negative Q value. ... This can ensure that the slope is negative and thus a positive Q value.

The abnormal left axis deviation is one of the most common abnormal ECG findings. Among 67,375 Air Force men without symptoms, Hiss and associates found a frontal plane QRS axis of −30 to −90 degrees in 128 (1.9 percent).

Occasionally, LQRSV in the ECG may not have an apparent explanation; and thus, in normal subjects, it is considered a normal variant. Low ECG QRS voltage may be noted only in the limb leads (a frequent encounter), the precordial leads, or both.

Introduction. The T wave is the most labile wave in the ECG. T wave changes including low-amplitude T waves and abnormally inverted T waves may be the result of many cardiac and non-cardiac conditions. The normal T wave is usually in the same direction as the QRS except in the right precordial leads (see V2 below).

This depolarization of ventricular cells underlies the QRS complex within the ECG. As the ventricular cells contract, intraventricular pressures increase above those in the atria, and the atrioventricular valves abruptly close. Closure of the atrioventricular valves results in the first heart sound, S1.

Left bundle branch block can reflect damage to the left ventricle caused by high blood pressure, a heart attack, a failing aortic valve, coronary artery disease, heart failure, or other cardiac conditions.

Right bundle branch block is rare in healthy young people. It happens more often in older people. This may be due to the normal changes in the heart's conduction system that occurs with age.
