Cardiac Electrophysiology and ECG Interpretation

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a fundamental diagnostic tool in cardiology that records the electrical activity of the heart.

The Electrical Conduction System

The heart’s electrical systemconsists of specialized cells that generate and conduct electrical impulses. The sinoatrial (SA) node, located in the right atrium, acts as the heart’s natural pacemaker…

Key Components

• SA Node: Primary pacemaker (60-100 bpm)
• AV Node: Delays impulse before ventricular activation
• Bundle of His: Connects AV node to bundle branches
• Purkinje Fibers: Rapidly distribute impulses throughout ventricles
