---|---|---|---|---|---|
P wave | atrial DEpolarization
🗑

QRS wave | ventricular DEpolarization
🗑
|
||||
ST segment | beginning of ventricular REpolarization
🗑
|
||||
T wave | ventricular REpolarization
🗑
|
||||
QT interval | time for electrical systole
🗑
|
||||
Heart Rate | # of intervals between QRS complexes in a 6-second strip multiplied by 10
🗑
|
||||
Ventricular arrhythmias | originate from an ectopic focus in the ventricles (outside normal conduction system)
🗑
|
||||
Ventricular fibrillation | pulseless, emergency situation requiring EMT: CPR, defibrillation, medications
🗑
|
||||
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) | NO P wave, bizarre & wide QRS that is premature, followed by a long compensatory pulse
🗑
|
||||
Serious PVCs | >6 per minute, paired or in sequential runs, multifocal, very early PVC (R on T Phenomena)
🗑
|
||||
Ventricular tachycardia | 3 or more PVCs occuring sequentially; very rapid rate (150-200 bpm)
🗑
|
||||
Ventricular tachycardia | wide, bizarre QRS waves, NO P waves, seriously compromised cardiac output
🗑
|
||||
Ventricular fibrillation | chaotic activity of ventricle originating from multiple foci; unable to determine rate
🗑
|
||||
Ventricular fibrillation | bizarre, erratic activity without QRS complex
🗑
|
||||
Ventricular fibrillation | No effective cardiac output; clinical death within 4-6 mins
🗑
|
||||
Atrial arrhythmias (supraventricular) | Rapid & repetitive firing of 1 or more ectopic foci in the atria
🗑
|
||||
Atrial arrhythmias (supraventricular) | P waves abnormal (variable in shape) or not identifiable (atrial fibrillation)
🗑
|
||||
Atrial tachycardia | 140-250 bpm
🗑
|
||||
Atrial flutter | 250-350 bpm
🗑
|
||||
Atrial fibrillation | >300 bpm
🗑
|
||||
Atrioventricular blocks | ab(N) delays or failure to conduct through (N) conductiong system
🗑
|
||||
If ventricular rate is slowed, | Cardiac output is decreased
🗑
|
||||
3rd degree AV block | life threatening, requires meds (ATROPHINE), pacemaker
🗑
|
||||
ST depression | impaired coronary perfusion (ischemia or injury)
🗑
|
||||
MI central zone of infarction | Ab(N) Q waves
🗑
|
||||
MI zone of injury | ST elevation
🗑
|
||||
MI zone of ischemia | T wave inversion
🗑
|
||||
Hyperkalemia | wide QRS, flat P wave, peaked T wave
🗑
|
||||
Hypokalemia | flat T wave (or inverted), produces U wave
🗑
|
||||
Hypercalcemia | wide QRS, short QT interval
🗑
|
||||
Hypocalcemia | prolonged QT interval
🗑
|
||||
Hypothermia | ST segment elevation; slow rhythm
🗑
|
||||
Digitalis | ST segment depression, flattened T wave (or inverted), shortened QT
🗑
|
||||
Quinidine | long QT, T flat/inverted, QRS long
🗑
|
||||
BetaBlockers (Propranolol/Inderal) | decreased heart rate, blunts HR response to exercise
🗑
|
||||
Nitrates (nitoglycerin) | Inc HR
🗑
|
||||
Antiarrhythmic agents | may prolong QRS & QT intervals
🗑

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
To hide a column, click on the column name.
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
