1.Easy
The rhythm on this lead II strip is regular. Use the 300 method (300 ÷ the number of large boxes between two consecutive R waves) to estimate the heart rate in beats per minute, rounded to a whole number.
lead II, 25 mm/s, 10 mm/mV1 small box = 0.04 s, 1 large box = 0.20 sstrip length 6 s
heart rate = bpm
2.Easy
Measure the PR interval on this lead II strip, in seconds.
lead II, 25 mm/s, 10 mm/mV1 small box = 0.04 s, 1 large box = 0.20 sstrip length 6 s
PR = s
3.Medium
Interpret this lead II rhythm strip. Which rhythm is it? Click your answer.
lead II, 25 mm/s, 10 mm/mV1 small box = 0.04 s, 1 large box = 0.20 sstrip length 6 s
1sinus bradycardia
2junctional rhythm
3first-degree AV block
4sinus tachycardia
4.Medium
Measure the QT interval and the R–R interval on this regular lead II strip, then calculate the rate-corrected QTc with Bazett’s formula QTc = QT/√RR (both in seconds). Give the answer in seconds to three decimals.
lead II, 25 mm/s, 10 mm/mV1 small box = 0.04 s, 1 large box = 0.20 sstrip length 6 s
QTc = s
5.Hard
Identify the rhythm on this lead II strip. Click your answer.
lead II, 25 mm/s, 10 mm/mV1 small box = 0.04 s, 1 large box = 0.20 sstrip length 6 s
1idioventricular rhythm
2third-degree (complete) AV block
3asystole
4ventricular tachycardia
6.Hard
This patient has a pacemaker. Interpret the lead II strip. Click your answer.
lead II, 25 mm/s, 10 mm/mV1 small box = 0.04 s, 1 large box = 0.20 sstrip length 6 s
1third-degree (complete) AV block
2sinus rhythm with wide QRS
3dual-chamber (AV) paced rhythm
4ventricular paced rhythm

1. heart rate = 60 bpm
2. PR = 0.16 s
3. first-degree AV block
4. QTc = 0.451 s
5. idioventricular rhythm
6. ventricular paced rhythm
