REVIEW

  1. Characteristics of Ventricular Tachycardia Rate: Normal or accelerated P wave: inverted or absent QRS: normal Conduction: normal rhythm: irregular: PICs occur early in cycle of baseline rhythm -an ectopic pacemaker in the AV Junction produces PJC's -may occur in heatlhy or diseased hearts -if occasional, insignificant Heart Rate: Depends on underlying rhythm Regularity: Interrupts the regularity of underlying rhythm P-Wave: can be flattened, notched, or unusual. May be hidden within the T wave PRI: measures between .12-.20 seconds and can be prolonged; can be ditterent from other complexes

  1. SA node rate 60-100 bpm
  2. AV node rate 40-60 bpm
  3. Prukinje fiber rate
  4. Accelerated Junc- tional Rhythm 15-40bpm regular rhythm, rate 60-100, p waves inverted or occur before during or after QRS, PRI measured if p before QRS <0.
  5. AV Blocks AV blocks are identified as a delay or interruption of the electrical impulse conduc- tion beyond the AV node. It is evaluated by measuring the PR interval in ECG traces. THE PR INTERVAL IS THE KEY OF DIFFERENTIATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF THE AV BLOCKS!
  6. First degree AV block

REVIEW

prolonged PR interval

  1. Second Degree AV block type 1
  2. Second Degree AV Block Type 2
  3. AKA Wenckebach Results from a cyclical and progressive conduction delay through the AV junction. Characteristic cyclical lengthening of the PR interval followed by a dropped QRS (or a P wave with no QRS). Irregular Rhythm intermittent interruptions of AV conduction; QRS's just drop ott with no warning

7 / twitching of the muscular heart wall

  1. Atrial Flutter irregular beating of the atria; often described as "a-flutter with 2 to 1 block or 3 to 1 block"
  2. Asystole absence of contractions of the heart
