14 Features to Analyze on Every ECG

1. Standardization (calibration) and technical quality
2. Heart rate(s): atrial and ventricular if not the same
3. Rhythm/AV conduction
4. PR (AV) interval
5. QRS interval (width)
6. QT/QTc intervals
7. QRS axis
8. P waves (width, amplitude, shape)
9. QRS voltages: normal, high or low
10. R wave progression in chest leads
11. Q waves (normal vs. abnormal)
12. ST segments
13. T waves
14. U waves

Cerebral Hemorrhages: CT Patterns You Must Recognize

[MedicoNotes @MedicoNotes]

🧠 MCA vs ACA vs PCA — Localise the Stroke in 5 seconds!

⸻

1️⃣ MCA — Middle Cerebral Artery

🔸 Contralateral Face & Arm weakness
🔸 Contralateral Face & Arm sensory loss
🔸 Aphasia → if dominant hemisphere
🔸 Gaze deviation TOWARD the lesion
🔸 Visual field: Contralateral Homonymous Hemianopia
🧩 Why? MCA supplies the lateral cortex — face, arm, and language areas

⸻

2️⃣ ACA — Anterior Cerebral Artery

🔸 Contralateral LEG weakness (arm spared!)
🔸 Contralateral LEG sensory loss
🔸 Abulia / Apathy → behavioural changes
🔸 Urinary incontinence
🔸 Visual field: Contralateral Homonymous Hemianopia
🧩 Why? ACA supplies the medial frontal and parietal lobes — leg area and motivation circuits

⸻

3️⃣ PCA — Posterior Cerebral Artery

🔸 Contralateral Visual Field Loss → often isolated
🔸 Visual Hallucinations → Charles Bonnet Syndrome
🔸 Visual Agnosia → impaired visual recognition
🔸 Visual field: Contralateral Homonymous Hemianopia with macular sparing
🧩 Why? PCA supplies the occipital lobe (vision) and inferior temporal lobe (visual memory)

⸻

🧩 The 5-Second Localisation Rule
➊ Face + Arm weak + Aphasia → MCA
➋ Leg weak + Behavioural change → ACA
➌ Vision loss only + Hallucinations → PCA

⸻

⚠️ The Exam Trap

🔹 All three can cause Contralateral Homonymous Hemianopia
🔹 ACA and MCA → full field defect
🔹 PCA → macular SPARING (occipital cortex has dual blood supply)

The most challenging kind of patient is a DOCTOR.
Behind all that knowledge, may denial, may takot, at hirap maging pasyente.
At the end of the day, darating ang point na magiging pasyente rin tayo, we just need another doctor to take care of us. #doctor
