EKG week 7 & 8 Hypertrophy & Arrhythmias

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
left atrial hypertrophy   Myocardium thickens Shows on V1 biphasic pwave  
🗑
biphasic   pwave has both positive and negative  
🗑
right atrial hypertrophy   atrium is thickened lead 2 peaked pwave  
🗑
biatrial hypertrophy   when both happen biphasic pwave V1 and peaked pwave lead 2  
🗑
premature atrial contractions   shorter R-R - longer R-R a beat comes premature with a rhythm*  
🗑
nonconducted premature atrial contractions   pwave without a QRS long R-R is call: "Cause for the Pause" with rhythm*  
🗑
paroxysmal atrial tachycardia   PAT=SVT supraventrical tachycardia starts and stops quickly rate 150bpm won't see pwave they are there but hidden  
🗑
atrial flutter   SA not firing, any rate, NO PWAVE flutter waves are saw toothed  
🗑
atrial fibrillation   irregularly irregular NO PWAVE any rate, QRS normal  
🗑
wandering atrial pacemaker   pwaves are all different shapes and sizes. rhythm regular or slightly irregular  
🗑
left bundle branch block   only on V1 the QRS is wide .12 or greater & 99% NEGATIVE V2 can not know right or left BBB  
🗑
right bundle branch block   on V1 QRS is wide .12 or greater and POSITIVE has rwaves  
🗑
premature ventricular contraction   no pwave, wide QRS, will have normal sinus rhythm 1 or 2 beats will have short R-R - long R-R  
🗑
bigeminal   every other beat is a PVC  
🗑
trigeminal   every third beat is a PVC  
🗑
couplet   2 PVC in a row (paired)  
🗑
triplet   3 PVC in a row  
🗑
4 PVC or more   a run of ventricular tachycardia  
🗑
unifocal   all look a like  
🗑
multifocal   all look different  
🗑
ventricular tachycardia   Vtach 250bpm QRS.12-.22 pic pg199  
🗑
ventricular fibrillation   Vfib chaotic rhythm NO QRS complex pic pg 202  
🗑
asystole   flatline  
🗑
premature junctional contraction   short R-R - long R-R delay at AVnode pwave can be negative, No pwave or pwave after QRS pic pg144  
🗑
juctional rhythm   regular rhythm, rate 40-60bpm, pwave may or may not, PR interval short .08 QRS normal .04-.11  
🗑
accelerated juntional   regular rhythm, rate 60-100bpm, pawave may or may not, PR interval short, QRS normal .04-.11  
🗑
junctional tachycardia   regular rhythm, rate 100bpm or above, pawave may or may not, PR interval short, QRS normal .04-.11  
🗑


   

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.
