EKG 1
The intrinsic rate of AV node and junctional tissues.
What is 40 to 60 beats per minute?
Rhythm that occurs from a single ectopic foci in the atria, a class 'sawtooth' pattern is seen
What is atrial flutter?
The type of heart block that is represented on EKG as a progressive lengthening of the PR interval until there is a P wave wave without a QRS complex.
What is Second Degree heart block Type 1, also called Mobitz 1 or Wenckeback?
The structures of the electrical conduction system that only beats at 20 to 40 beats per minute.
What is Purkinje fibers?
The intrinsic rate of the SA node.
What is 60 to 100?
The 2 EKG changes seen in all junctional rhythms.
What is P wave abnormalities and PR interval changes?
PVCs that look alike are called.
What is unifocal PVCs?
The type of heart block in which the atria and ventricles beat independently of each other?
What is 3rd degree or complete heart block?
Treatment of symptomatic bradycardia
What is atropine?
What is torsades de pointes?
Atrial flutter puts patients at increased risk for these 2 things.
What is heart failure and emboli formation?
What are the 2 rhythms that require immediate defibrillation?
what is v-fib and pulseless v-tach
The first line treatment for symptomatic PSVT?
What is adenosine?
known as the flat horizontal line that separates the various waves
What is the isoelectric line?
The rhythms that can occur if a PVC occurs during the T-wave.
What is V-fib or V-tach?
The type of heart block in which the PR interval is longer than 0.20 seconds, but it remains consistent.
What is 1st degree heart block?
This is the normal duration of the QRS complex.
What is less than 0.12 seconds
Sinus rhythm caused by failure of the SA node to create an impulse and complete failure of all impulses
What is asystole?
The EKG pattern/complex we see during ventricular depolarization.
What is the QRS complex?
What is hypotension, dyspnea, and/or angina?
The electrolyte abnormality associated with tall peaked T waves.
What is hyperkalemia?
Repolarization of the ventricles.
What is the T wave?
An arrhythmia in which there are multiple erratic impulses in the atria. There is no identifiable P wave, an irregular ventricular rate, and there is loss in atrial kick.
What is Atrial Fibrillation?
