Pieces and Parts
This portion of the heartbeat represents the atria, top chambers of the heart.
What is the P wave?
In this rhythm, the upper chambers of the heart quiver instead of contracting normally to allow the blood to flow down to the bottom chambers.
What is atrial fibrillation?
This rhythm has a wide QRS with a rate of <40 bpm.
What is an idioventricular rhythm?
What rhythm has a heart rate of 80, with normal P waves, normal QRS and PR interval?
What is NSR, normal sinus?
This rhythm is defined by a prolonged PR interval.
What is a first-degree heart block?
This portion of the heartbeat represents the ventricles, bottom chambers of the heart.
What is the QRS complex?
A.fib= regular or irregular?
What is irregularity?
This rhythm has all normal beats except 1 wide ugly QRS and makes the rhythm irregular with a rate of 90.
What is NSR with a PVC?
This rhythm has wide QRS's with a rate of 200 bpm that has one shape of the QRS.
What is monomorphic ventricular tachycardia?
This rhythm occurs when the atria and ventricles are not speaking to each other, the P wave and QRS come in when they want.
What is a 3rd degree heart block?
This portion of the heartbeat represents the heart relaxing before the next beat.
What is the T wave?
A patient who is in atrial fibrillation is at higher risk for?
What is blood clots, stroke?
This rhythm has a wide QRS with a rate of 80.
What is accelerated idioventricular?
Which heart block is ALWAYS irregular?
What is second degree type 1?
This rhythm occurs when the PR interval becomes increasingly longer each beat before a QRS is dropped, resulting in more than 1 P before a QRS sometimes.
What is a second-degree type 1 heart block?
This portion of the heartbeat measures how long for the impulse to get from the atria to the ventricles.
What is the PR interval?
V.Fib= regular or irregular?
What is DEAD?
Type of pause that occur when the beat doesn't come back on time after the pause.
What is sinus arrest?
What occurs in a rhythm with a P wave that is inverted or absent that comes in early?
What is a PJC?
This rhythm occurs with an constant PR interval with multiple P waves before a QRS sometimes.
What is a second-degree type 2 heart block?
How do you determine if a rhythm is regular or irregular?
What is measure the tops of the R waves and slide across the strip?
What do we want our patients in A.Fib to be as far as heart rate goes?
What is the rate controlled, <100?
What is sinus exit block?
What occurs in a rhythm with one abnormal P wave before a beat, doesn't look like all the rest, that comes in early?
What is a PAC?
Which heart blocks are ALWAYS regular?
What is first and third degree?
