QRS Narrow
Feature sawtooth
Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia
Rate Variable
Rhythm Irregular
QRS Narrow
Feature 3 or more P waves
that differ in polarity
(up/down),
shape, and size
Wide complex
Ventricular Tachycardia
Rate >150
Rhythm Regular
QRS wide
Feature No visible p
SVT with aberancy
Ventricular fibrillation
Rate Very fast
Rhythm Irregular
QRS bizarre
Feature no recognizable P,
QRS, or T waves
Torsades de pointes
Rate V: 150-200
Rhythm Irregular
QRS QRS complexes display
¡°spindle-node¡± pattern
Feature no recognizable P &T
waves, prolong QT before
occurence
Bradyarrhythmia
Bradyarrhythmia
Sinus
Bradycardia
1st degree
Heart block
2nd degree
Heart block
(Mobitz 1)
2nd degree
Heart block
(Mobitz 2)
3rd degree
Heart block
Sinus Bradycardia
1st degree Heart block
? P-R Interval > 200msec (5 small box)
? No dropped beat
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
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
3rd degree HB (complete HB)
? complete absence of AV conduction (AV dissociation)
? Perfusing rhythm is maintained by a junctional or ventricular escape rhythm
Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA)
? presence of coordinated
electrical activity in
myocardium but no detectable
cardiac output
? formerly known as EMD
(electromechanical dissociation)
Asystole
Arrest rhythm
? VF
? VT
? PEA
? Asystole
