VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS

22. Ventricular premature complexes

23. Ventricular escape complexes or rhythm

24. Accelerated idioventricular rhythm

25. Ventricular tachycardia

26. Ventricular tachycardia, polymorphous (including torsade de pointes)

27. Ventricular fibrillation


ATRIAL VENTRICULAR CONDUCTION

28. First-degree AV block

29. Mobitz Type 1 second-degree AV block (Wenckebach)

30. Mobitz Type 2 second-degree AV block

31. AV block or conduction ratio, 2:1

32. AV block, varying conduction ratio

33. AV block, advanced (high-grade)

34. AV block, complete (third-degree)

35. AV dissociation

INTRAVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION

36. Left bundle branch block (fixed or intermittent)

37. Right bundle branch block (fixed or intermittent, complete or incomplete)

38. Intraventricular conduction delay, nonspecific

39. Aberrant conduction of supraventricular beats

40. Left anterior fascicular block

41. Left posterior fascicular block

42. Ventricular pre-excitation (Wolff-Parkinson-White pattern)

QRS AXIS AND VOLTAGE

43. Right axis deviation (+90 to +180 degrees)

44. Left axis deviation (-30 to -90 degrees)

45. Indeterminate axis

46. Electrical alternans

47. Low voltage (less than 0.5 mV total QRS amplitude in each extremity lead and less than 1.0 mV in each Precordial lead)

CHAMBER HYPERTROPHY OR ENLARGEMENT

48. Left atrial enlargement, abnormality, or conduction defect

49. Right atrial abnormality

50. Left ventricular hypertrophy (QRS abnormality only)

51. Left ventricular hypertrophy with secondary ST-T abnormality

52. Right ventricular hypertrophy with or without secondary ST-T abnormality

REPOLARIZATION (ST-T,U) ABNORMALITIES

53. Early repolarization (normal variant)

54. Juvenile T waves (normal variant)

55. Nonspecific abnormality, ST segment and/or T wave

56. ST and/or T wave suggests ischemia

57. ST suggests injury

58. ST suggests ventricular aneurysm

59. Q-T interval prolonged
