When is atrial repolarization?
Inherent pacemakers
Sinus rhythm
Sinus bradycardia
Sinus tachycardia
Junctional rhythm: shorter or absent PR interval and narrow QRS tells you that it didn’t start in the SA node started in the AV node
Junctional tachycardia: sick sinus; no P no PR good QRS; junctional but faster than normal nodal rate >40-60
Supraventricular tachycardia: paroxysmal/ above the ventricle
Sinus rhythm
Sinus bradycardia
Sinus tachycardia
Junctional rhythm: shorter or absent PR interval and narrow QRS tells you that it didn’t start in the SA node started in the AV node
Premature atrial contraction: early; still has P normal PR and QRS so it came from atria SA or other
Atrial fibrillation: Rate is ok; no normal P no PR interval; QRS ok
Atrial flutter: more coordinated than afib
