2nd Degree Heart Block (Mobitz II) - ansRare, but more serious

Sudden appearance of a nonconducted P-wave

P-waves are nl, but some aren't followed by a QRS complex

PR & RR intervals are constant

2nd degree heart block type 1 (Wenkebach) - ansProgressively longer PR interval until

the P wave is not followed by a QPR

3rd degree heart block - ansno obvious correlation between p and qrs, need pace

maker

Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm - ansRate: 50 - 100 usually (usually slow)

P wave: Obscured by ventricular waves (occur during ventricular contraction) - SA node

slower than faster ventricular pacing than should be

QRS: Wide QRS

Conduction: Ventricular only

Rhythm: Regular

- benign rhythm that is sometimes seen during acute MI or early after reperfusion. -

Rarely sustained, does not progress to vfib, rarely requires treatment

asystole - ansabsence of contractions of the heart

Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib) - ansan irregular and often very fast heart rate originating from

abnormal conduction in the atria

Atrial Flutter - ansirregular beating of the atria; often described as "a-flutter with 2 to 1

block or 3 to 1 block"

Atrial paced rhythm - ansspike before P wave

Bigeminy PVC - ansevery other beat is a PVC

Failure to capture (pacemaker) - ans

failure to sense (pacemaker) - ans

First degree heart block - ansatrioventricular (AV) block in which the atrial electrical

impulses are delayed by a fraction of a second before being conducted to the ventricles

Idioventricular Rhythm - ans<40

*looks like vtach but slow*

-

no P waves (from vent foci)

-

Wide QRS

(serious, death like rhythm)
