Arrhythmia Flashcards
Characters of normal sinus rhythm through p wave
_positive p wave in lead||
_negative p wave in aVR
Causes of sinus tachycardia
Increase sympathetic stimulation
Fever ex typhoid, diphtheria
Hyperthyroidism
Abnormal characters of sinus tachycardia
Short RR interval
Increase heart rate
Causes of sinus bradycardia
Increase vagal tone
Hypothyroidism
B blocker
Characters of sinus bradycardia
Decreased heart rate
Prolonged RR interval
Characters of respiratory sinus rhythm
R R interval is shortened during inspiration
And prolonged during expiration
Characters of AV nodal rhythm
AV node is pacemaker
Bradycardia
Inverted p wave
Short PR interval
Characters of supraventricular extra sytole
Inverted or absent p wave
Short PR interval
Incomplete compensatory pause
Resetting sA nodal rhythm
Characters of ventricular extra sytole
Absent p wave Wide bizarre QRS Inverted T wave Axis deviation Complete compensatory pause Not depolarize SA node As no retrograde conduction High voltage QRS
Why inverted T wave in ventricular extra sytole
As first area to depolarize is the first area to repolarize
Why high voltage QRS in ventricular extra sytole
As impulse travel in one direction
Why post extra sytole potentiaton
Dt long diastolic period
Increase ventricular filling
Treatment of atrial fibrillation…..
While treatment of ventricular fibrillation……
Paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia….
_cardioversion, digitalis, anticoagulant
_carduoversion2000:3000V
_cardioversion
Bag of worms in
Atrial fibrillation
Ventricular fibrillation
What is F wave
Irregular undulation of base line
In atrial fibrillation
