ECG Abnormalities
A -- Common ECG Abnormalities
| 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 |
