ECG P-waves
p-waves for ecg rules
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Sinus Rhythm p-wave | 1 Positive; one proceeds each QRS |
Sinus Bradycardia p-wave | 2 Positive; one proceeds each QRS |
Sinus Tachycardia p-wave | 3 Positive; one proceeds each QRS |
Sinus Arrhythmia p-wave | 4 Positive; one proceeds each QRS |
SA Block p-wave | When present; Positive; one proceeds each QRS |
Sinus Arrest p-wave | Positive; one proceeds each QRS; When Present. |
PAC's p-wave | premature; positive in lead 2, one precedes each QRS, differ from sinus p-waves, may be lost in preceding t-wave |
Wandering Atrial Pacemaker p-wave | Size, shape and direction may change from beat to beat |
Atrial Flutter p-wave | No identifiable p-waves, "Saw toothed" or flutter waves present |
Atrial Fibrillation p-wave | no identifiable p-waves fibrilatory waves present, erratic wavy baseline. |
WPW Wolf-Parkinson-White p-wave | Normal and positive in Lead 2 unless WPW is associated with A-Fib. |
PJC'S P-Waves | 1 May occur before during or after QRS, If visible the P-Wave is inverted in leads II III aVF |
Junctional Escape Beat P-Waves | 2 May occur before during or after QRS, If visible the P-Wave is inverted in leads II III aVF |
Junctional Escape Rhythm P-Waves | 3 May occur before during or after QRS, If visible the P-Wave is inverted in leads II III aVF |
Accelerated Junctional Rhythm p-waves | 4 May occur before during or after QRS, If visible the P-Wave is inverted in leads II III aVF |
Junctional Tachycardia p-waves | 5 May occur before during or after QRS, If visible the P-Wave is inverted in leads II III aVF |
PVC's P-waves | 1 usually absent or, with retrograde conduction to the atria, may appear after the QRS (usually upright in the ST-segment or T-Wave. |
Ventricular Escape Beat P-Waves | 2) usually absent or, with retrograde conduction to the atria, may appear after the QRS (usually upright in the ST-segment or T-Wave. |
Idioventricular Rhythm P-waves | 3) usually absent or, with retrograde conduction to the atria, may appear after the QRS (usually upright in the ST-segment or T-Wave. |
Accelerated idioventricular Rhythm p-waves | 4) usually absent or, with retrograde conduction to the atria, may appear after the QRS (usually upright in the ST-segment or T-Wave. |
Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia p-waves | May be present or absent, if present the have no set relationship to the QRS complexes appearing between the a rate different than that of the VT |
Polyporphic Ventricular Tachycardia p-waves | independent or None |
Ventricular Vibrilation p-waves | Absent |
Asystole p-waves | None,(some p-waves may be observed in p-wave asystole. |
First Degree Block p-waves | normal, one p-wave precedes each QRS. |
Second Degree Type I p-waves | 1 Normal in size and shape; some p-waves not followed by a QRS complex (more p-waves than QRS's |
Second Degree Type II P-waves | 2 Normal in size and shape; some p-waves not followed by a QRS complex (more p-waves than QRS's |
Second Degree 2:1 conduction P-Waves | 3 Normal in size and shape; some p-waves not followed by a QRS complex (more p-waves than QRS's |
Third Degree Block P-Waves Complete Block) | 4 Normal in size and shape; some p-waves not followed by a QRS complex (more p-waves than QRS's |
