Less than 20 bpm
AGONAL
Lower chambers of the heart
ventricles
No P wave, or P wave inverted
Narrow QRS
Regular
JUNCTIONAL ESCAPE RHYTHM
A record obtained from the combined input of two electrodes
bipolar leads, also called standard limb leads
Calculated by counting complexes in 6 or 10 seconds and multiplying by 10 or 6
HEART RATE
Flat line, death
ASYSTOLE
irregular heart rhythm
arrhythmia
HR > 100
3 different P wave shapes

Sinus arrhythmia caused by changes in breathing
SINUS RHYTHM
The region between two waves on an EKG
segments
Rate below 60 bpm
BRADYCARDIA
Also called Bicuspid
Entrance valve
Between left atrium and left ventricle
Has two cusps
MITRAL VALVE
Premature beat with wide QRS, no P wave
PVC, Premature Ventricular Contraction
Heart contracting phase
Ventricles empty blood out of chamber by contracting
Same stage as Depolarization"
SYSTOLE
PRI gradually increases and then beat drops out
TYPE I SECOND DEGREE HEART BLOCK
Respirations near death
agonal
Outer fluid sac layer
Separates heart from body
PERICARDIUM
Normal heartbeat triggered by the SA node
sinus rhythm
"Entrance valve, AV valve Has 3 cusps"
TRICUSPID VALVE
A flap of tissue in the heart or a vein that prevents blood from flowing backward
