arrythmias

EKG

QuestionAnswer
Heart rate and rhythm change, cardiac cycle stays normal Sinus arrhythmia
cardiac cycle is normal, along with heart rate 60 to 100, and rhythm NSR. Normal Sinus Rhythm
Cardiac cycle and rhythm is normal, just heart rate is < 60 Sinus bradycardia cardiac cycle and rhythm is normal, just heart rate is > 100 but < 160
Fluctuating heart rate, no rhythm Sinus arrhythmia
slow her heart rate usually in the 60s or can turn Brady Missing 1 cardiac cycle Sinus block
Usually 15 big boxes of polarization Heart rate is usually normal until arrest occurs Missing 2 cardiac cycle is 3.52 sec. of polarization state = True sinus arrest Sinus arrest
Absent P-wave Junctional
Junctional heart rate 40 to 60 bpm
Must have regular cardiac cycle with a few ab normal cycles P-wave absent or inverted Can be LETS or GEMINEY premature contractions brakes rhythm Normal sinus rhythm with PJCs PJC
Entire rhythm strip should be absent or have inverted P waves If you cardiac cycle is missing SKIPPED HEART BEAT Escape junctional rhythm EJR
Entire rhythm strip should be absent or have inverted P waves HR should be 60 to 100 bpm Accelerated junctional rhythm AJR
Entire rhythm strip should be absent or have an inverted P waves HR should be 100 to 180 bpm Junctional tachycardia JTR
PRI are all abnormal, but the same rate on all cardiac cycles Not a true HB, just a delay Atrial ventricular 1st° heart block
Entire rhythm strip should be absent or have invited P waves HR should be 60 to 100 bpm Accelerated junctional rhythm AJR
Entire rhythm strip should be absent or have an inverted P waves HR should be 100 to 180 bpm Junctional tachycardia JTR
PRI are all abnormal, but the same rate on all cardiac cycles Not a true HB, just a delay Atrial ventricular 1st° heart block
PRI gradually gets longer and longer Eventually you should see a lonely P-wave, QRS drops so you don't see it Atrioventricular 2nd° heart block Mobitz type 1 Wenckebach
Same Characteristics of 1st° , however PRI can be normal or abnormal consistently the same rate in every cardiac cycle Lonely P waves and the rhythm Atrioventricular 2nd° heart block Mobitz type 2 Classical
PRI, chaotic.it's cardiac cycle's PRI is different. NO rhythm Lonely P waves present Only AVHB that can have PVCs, abnormal QRS complexes Atrioventricular 3rd° heart block: Complete Heart Block
P wave abnormal/hidden + 1:1 Atrial
Must have regular cardiac cycle with a few ab normal cycles P-wave abnormal Can be let's or Geminey Premature contraction brakes rhythm Normal sinus rhythm with PACs Atrial PAC
Heart rate 140 to 250 Atrial tachycardia
Heart rate must be > 200 or see if P wave T wave merger For a SVT
P waves are very small. They are now F with productions P waves quiver, or shake so you will see fine or coarse pattern Atrial fibrillation
P- waves are sharp. Sawtooth like Can be in ratio or pattern Atrial flutter
QRS abnormal shape and bazaar Complex bigger than three small boxes Heart rate 20 to 40 bpm Ventricular
Must have regular cardiac cycle with a few abnormal cycles QRS During PVC, P waves are absent, NSR with PVCs, ST segment can be nonexistent T-wave goes in the opposite direction Can be Lets or GEMINEY Premature contractions brakes Ventricular PVC
Peaked and symmetrical in shape, do not see P waves, or super Duper hard to see or catch them, T waves an opposite direction, bunny ears look Ventricular tachycardia
V Tach leads to V Fib Think of Jello like appearance, they are waves Non-symmetrical Ventricular fibrillation
HR should be 20 to 40 bpm All cycles are abnormal due to PVCs Rhythm should be aregular Idoventricular rhythm I DVR
HR should be 40-100 BPM Are cycles or abnormal did to PVC is Rhythm should be regular Accelerated idioventricular rhythm AIDVR
multifocal or change in morphology, sharp peaks Torsades De Pontes
4 or more PVCs together in the middle of a normal sinus rhythm Run / salvo
P-wave abnormally long AV
