Skip a Beat
This rhythm is associated with

Normal Sinus Rhythm
dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, inability to exercise, or weakness
fast heart rate or palpitations
Atrial Fibrillation
AFib
Oxygen, Nitroglycerin, Morphine, Aspirin
ONMA
Medicine used during Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS)
if the R is far from P,
then you have a
First Degree AV Block
You will need to take this medication once daily with Aspirin for one year without interruption (unless contraindicated).
Dual Anti-platelet Therapy
This extra beat occurs sooner than normal in sinus rhythm

Pre-ventricular Contraction
PVCs
Symptoms include chest pain, fainting, dizziness, and shortness of breath, Feeling as if your heart is racing (palpitations), and leads to Cardiac arrest
Ventricular Tachycardia
this supplement, taken in conjunction with a statin, can help reduce your low density Lipoprotein
Red Yeast Rice
longer, longer, longer, drop!
then you have a
Wenkebach
Second Degree AV Block Type 1
this is recommended as first line of treatment but I better hurry because I only have 90 minutes
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
(PCI)
irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that can lead to blood clots in the heart.
Atrial Fibrillation
Pre-Syncope, Syncope, Dyspnea, Dizziness, Palpitations, cardiac murmur, Septal Involvement and Sudden Cardiac Death
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
this is performed on patients that still have a pulse but are hemodynamically stable.
Synchronized Cardioversion
Two leads have the same ST segments changes
with positive troponin
STEMI or NSTEMI
I know I have end stage heart disease that no longer responds to medical treatment. I will need this very soon
Heart Transplant
pacing stimulus is generated, but fails to trigger myocardial depolarization.
Pacemaker's Failure to Capture
reduces preload, heart rate, and possibly afterload; the benefit effect of reduction in myocardial oxygen demand.
Morphine Sulphate
this action is used when there are no coordinated intrinsic electrical activity in the heart (pulseless VT/VF) or the defibrillator fails to synchronize in an unstable patient.
Unsynchronized Cardioversion

This patient has a heart rate of 30 and hypotensive

Third Degree AV Block
I know I will requires a heart transplant if optimal medical treatment fails
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
this should not be confused with defibrillation.
Transcutaneous Pacing
Hallmark Signs: Severe chest pain unrelieved by rest, position change or nitro
Acute Coronary Syndrome
Acute MI
should be started within the first 24 hours if the blood pressure is stable and there are no contraindication after STEMI/NSTEMI
Used to prevent ventricular remodeling and prevent or slow the progression of heart failure
Ace Inhibitors
The most common complication s/p Acute Myocardial Infarction
DYSRHYTHMIAS
You shouldn't abruptly stop taking this because doing so could increase your risk of a heart attack or other heart problem.
Beta Blockers

Identify this ECG strips

Pacemaker Spikes
sharp stabbing pain in the chest, sometimes central, other times to the left, that may decrease in intensity when sitting up and leaning forward
Pericarditis
this can be used as an alternative anti-inflammatory to treat this persistent Post MI Pericarditis
Colchicine
a progressive disease of heart muscle that is causes ventricular chamber enlargement and contractile dysfunction. The right ventricle may also be dilated and become dysfunctional
Dilated Cardiomyopathy
I know there are no treatments for my heart condition. But I know beta blockers and diuretics may make me feel better
Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
this heart rate is faster than 100 beats per minute
Ventricular Tachycardia
an immune system response after damage to heart tissue or to the sac surrounding the heart (pericardium).
Presents with Pericarditis symptoms and Fever
Dressler's Syndrome
These relax smooth muscle within the blood vessels, widening them and making it easier for blood and oxygen to reach the heart
Nitrates
(ranolazine, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, nitroglycerin).
the name of a massive heart attack that occurs when the left anterior descending artery (LAD) is totally or almost completely blocked
Widow Maker

I should restrict competitive sports or vigorous recreational activities because this can worsen my condition
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
