The document describes various types of tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias based on their rate, rhythm, QRS width, and other features. Tachyarrhythmias are categorized as narrow complex or wide complex, and further divided into regular or irregular rhythm. Narrow complex rhythms include sinus tachycardia, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, junctional rhythm, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter with variable block, and multifocal atrial tachycardia. Wide complex rhythms include ventricular tachycardia, SVT with aberrancy, ventricular fibrillation, and torsades de pointes. Bradyarrhythmias include sinus bradycard
11. Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia
Rate Variable
Rhythm Irregular
QRS Narrow
Feature 3 or more P waves
that differ in polarity
(up/down),
shape, and size
20. 1st degree Heart block
? P-R Interval > 200msec (5 small box)
? No dropped beat
21. 2nd degree heart block , Mobitz 1 (Wenckebach)
? Progressive prolongation of P-R intervals
? P-P intervals constant
? Dropped beat
? PR interval is longest immediately before the dropped beat
? PR interval is shortest immediately after the dropped beat
22. 2nd degree HB Mobitz II
? Intermittent non-conducted P waves without progressive prolongation of the PR interval
? PR interval in the conducted beats remains constant
? P-P constant
? RR interval surrounding the dropped beat(s) is an exact multiple of the preceding RR
interval
23. 3rd degree HB (complete HB)
? complete absence of AV conduction (AV dissociation)
? Perfusing rhythm is maintained by a junctional or ventricular escape rhythm
24. Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA)
? presence of coordinated
electrical activity in
myocardium but no detectable
cardiac output
? formerly known as EMD
(electromechanical dissociation)
