What rhythm has a gradual increase in PR interval until an impulse is not conducted to the ventricles?

Second Degree Type 1

300

What is it called when the pacemaker does not discharge a stimulus to the myocardium - evidence of an absence pacemaker spike?

Failure to Fire

What rhythm can be either be regular or irregular, QRS are wide and bizzare, and may be monomorphic or polymorphic?

Ventricular Tachycardia 

500

What is it called when the pacemaker delivers a stimulus but the stimulation of the myocardium does not occur - evidence by a pacemaker spike not followed by a P wave or QRS?

Failure to Capture
