-**Rhythm
+|previousname= Case 2
-***'''The ECG shows a regular rhythm with normal P waves (positive in I, III and AVF, negative in AVR), followed by QRS complexes. Sinusrhythm'''

-**Heart rate

-***'''78 bpm'''
+[[Image:KJcasus9.jpg|thumb|700px|left| The ECG]]
-**Conduction (PQ,QRS,QT)
-***'''PQ: 180ms QRS: 160ms QT: 370ms QTc: 420ms
-**Heartaxis
-***'''Negative in III, AVF and AVR, positive QRS complexes in I, II and AVL: horizontal heart axis'''
-**P wave morphology
-***'''The P waves have normal morphology.'''
-**QRS morphology
-***'''Wide QRS complexes with [[[LBBB|left bundle branch block]]] pattern.'''
-**ST morphology
-***'''ST elevation in V1-V3, AVR. ST depression in I, II, III, AVF, V4-6. The Sgarbossa criteria for ischemia in LBBB are not met (nog concordant ST deviation, no ST depression V1-V3, nog discordant ST elevation > 5 mm).'''
-**Compare with the old ECG (not available, so skip this step)
-**Conclusion?
-'''Sinusrhythm with left bundle branch block, comparison with an old ECG is mandatory to evaluate whether the LBBB is new (a sign of [[myocardial infarction]]) or old.'''
