1.Easy
This lead II rhythm is regular. Count the small boxes between two consecutive R waves and use the 1500 method to find 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

lead II, 25 mm/s, 10 mm/mV1 small box = 0.04 s, 1 large box = 0.20 sstrip length 6 s
1normal sinus rhythm
2junctional rhythm
3first-degree AV block
4atrial fibrillation
4.Medium
This lead II strip shows sinus rhythm with one pause. Measure the pause, the R–R interval across it, in seconds.
lead II, 25 mm/s, 10 mm/mV1 small box = 0.04 s, 1 large box = 0.20 sstrip length 6 s
pause = s
5.Hard
Interpret this lead II strip. Which interpretation can you defend from this single 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
1second-degree AV block type II
22:1 AV block (type undetermined)
3sinus bradycardia
4third-degree (complete) AV block
6.Hard
This lead II strip shows a conduction problem between the atria and the ventricles. 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
1second-degree AV block type I (Wenckebach)
2second-degree AV block type II
3junctional rhythm
4third-degree (complete) AV block
