cardiac conduction Flashcards
structures involved
sinoatrial node
atrioventricular node
right bundle branch
left bundle branch
perkinjie fibres
process of cardiac cycle
electrical impulse is generated at the SA node near right atrium
depolarisation spreads to the AV node at right atrium
slight delay at the AV node allows atria to contract and ventrical to fill
depolarisation wave move into the bundle of his
depolarisation continue to perkinjie fibres for ventricle contraction
P wave
depolarisation of SA node
the flat line between P and Q is
av node delay
QRS complex
depolarisation of both ventricles
T wave
repolarisation of ventricles
normal rythm
60-100 beats
bradycardia
less then 60 bpm
tachycardia
more then 100 BPM
atrial flutter
rapid atrial rate
atrial fibulation
irregular rythm
no P wave
supraventricular tachycardia
rapid heart beat
1st degree AV block
prolonged PR interval
2nd degree AV block mobitz type 1
progressive prolonged PR interval
2nd degree AV block mobitz type 2
random QRS consistant PR wave though
3rd degree AV block
atria and ventricle beat independent
junctional escape rythm
narrow QRS absent P wave
idioventricular rythm
wide QRS no P wave
ventricular tachycardia
wide QRS fast rate
ventricular fibulation
chaotic no organisation
pulseless electrical activity
ECG present but no wave
aystole
flat line
