        Help  

Description
ECG Rhythm
Atrial rate in excess of 200 bpm but ventricle response limited....   atrial flutter  
An ECG that is described as a saw tooth....   atrial flutter  
Slowed rate below 60 bpm noted on ECG with normal rhythm..   sinus bradycardia  
Rapid series of irregular atrial contractions, leading to an irregular response from ventricles...   atrial fibrillation  
Rapid, regular heart rate, without disruption in rhythm, conduction to ventricles is complete (not from sinus node)...   atrial tachycardia  
Conduction from the atria to ventricles is partially or completely blocked (slowed rate 25-45 bpm)...   Heart block  
Regular pattern, nearly 200 bpm, no visible p wave, electricle source some where in the ventricles...   ventricle tachycardia  
Complete loss of regular rhythm, evidence of cardiac contraction is gone, as ventricle function is absent....   ventricle fibrillation
