While cleaning up my office to put in a reading chair, I found the following 12-Lead ECGs from my clinical time. I apologize for the poor quality of the first one, but it is a copy of a copy (of probably a copy). I have limited information on the patients for each of them somewhere in my clinical binder, but I haven't found those yet.

What do these two 12-Leads show?
Do you agree with the computerized statements?
Update on ECG 1 (16 Sept 2010)
The patient's lab values include a K+ of 2.1 mEq/L. What are some of the expected ECG changes in hypokalemia? Does this ECG show a classical or atypical presentation of hypokalemia?
