Never On Time
I am 1 Early Ectopic Beat Originating From the Ventricles
Premature Ventricular Contraction
WHAT DISTINGUISHES ME FROM AN ABERRANT PAC?
I have a rate of </ 40bpm and a wide bizarre shaped QRS
Idioventricular Rhythm
I am a Early Wide beat that does not disrupt the underlying rhythms regularity
Interpolated PVC
I happen when the SA and AV node both fail to fire an Impulse
Ventricular Escape Beat
I am taking over the Ventricles for many different sites, I look like a twisting ribbon.
Torsades de Pointes
2 Consecutive Early Ectopic Beats originating from the Ventricles
Ventricular Couplet
I have a rate of > 100 bpm, > 3 beats and a wide bizarre shaped QRS
Ventricular Tachycardia
I am coming from multiple locations and have different deflections
Multifocal
I happen when an Ectopic Site anywhere in the Ventricles decides to fire early
Premature Ventricular Contraction
I no longer have any Electrical Activity in the Atrium or the Ventricles
Asystole
3 Early Ectopic Beats originating in the ventricles (> 100bpm)
Ventricular Run
I have a rate of 41-100 bpm and a wide bizarre shaped QRS
Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm
WHAT IS THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JUNCTIONAL AND VENTRICULAR RHYTHMS?
I am used when multiple locations are firing, but I have >3 beats
Polymorphic
When the Automaticity level in the BOH/Ventricles rises higher than the SA and AV node, I create this rhythm
Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm
My Atrium is still firing, but I have no Ventricular Activity Left.
Ventricular Standstill
1 Late Beat originating from the ventricles
Ventricular Escape Beat
You mention me when I have 6 seconds or more of no Ventricular Activity (Depolarization)
Asystole / Ventricular Standstill if you see P Waves
I am the pause that follows a PVC
Compensatory Pause
When the SA and AV node both fail to fire an impulse and my random burst do not bring back the normal rhythm, I fire 3 or more times and become..
Idioventricular Rhythm
I have some Chaotic Activity in the Ventricles but nothing is making sense.
Ventricular Fibrillation
1 Early Ectopic beat and 1 Late beat originating from the ventricles
Premature Ventricular Contraction and Ventricular Escape Beat
I have a combination of 7 Early and Late Beats with an Average Rate of 70 bpm and a wide bizarre QRS
Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm
When I fire from a site in the ventricles, why do I look the way I do?
You are not getting the rapid depolarization associated with the normal conduction pathway. The impulse is now having to slowly depolarize the ventricles cell by cell, traveling a different way through the ventricles.
When my friends and I all decide to fire rapidly in the ventricles, causing many different shapes of QRS, we are called....
Polymorphic VTach or Torsades de Pointes
I am the last ditch effort of the Ventricles trying to save myself
Agonal Rhythm
