Bates' Tables Cardiac (through 9-5) Flashcards
What are the 4 types of fast regular patterns on the EKG?
Sinus tachycardia
Supraventricular tachycardia
Atrial flutter with a regular ventricular response
Ventricular tachycardia
What are the 3 types of patterns with a regular and normal rate and rhythm on EKG?
Normal sinus rhythm
Second-degree AV block
Atrial flutter with a regular ventricular response
What are the 3 types of patterns with a regular and slow rate and rhythm on EKG?
Sinus bradycardia
Second-degree AV block
Complete heart block
What is the rate (i.e. #) of a fast beat?
> 100
What is the rate (i.e. #) of a normal beat?
60-100
What is the rate (i.e. #) of a slow beat?
<60
What are the three types of irregular rhythm?
Irregularly irregular
regularly irregular
sporadic
What is the rhythm with premature or extra beats at random intervals, but normal underlying rhythm?
sporadic
What are regularly irregular rhythms?
regular pattern of cadences
What are irregularly irregular rhythms?
no discernible regularity
Identify the ECG pattern based on rate: 110-250
Ventricular tachycardia
Identify the ECG pattern based on rate: 100-175
Atrial flutter with a regular ventricular response
Identify the ECG pattern based on rate: 100-180
Sinus tachycardia
Identify the ECG pattern based on rate: 150-250
Supraventricular tachycardia
Identify the ECG pattern based on rate: 30-60
Second degree AV block
What has a EKG rate below 40?
Complete heart block
In the healthy heart, the left ventricular impulse is usually…
the point of maximal impulse (PMI)
What are the classic descriptors of left ventricular PMI? (Location, diameter, amplitude, duration)
Location= midclavicular, intercostal space 4 & 5
Diameter= discrete; ≤ 2cm
Amplitude: brisk and tapping
Duration: ≤2/3 (two thirds) of systole
When can right ventricular impulse be felt?
at infancy, but not palpable beyond that
