Q

P wave

A
  • first wave of the ECG
  • represents the depolarization of the atrium
  • before atrial contraction
  • short period after (straight line) allows for ventricular filling

Q

QRS complex

A
  • depolarization of the ventricles
  • Q = depolarization from V septum (left to right)
  • R = largest wave, depolarization of the V
  • S = final stage of V depolarization

Q

QT interval

A
  • ventricular contraction
  • begins at Q wave until the end of T wave
19
Q

Atrial fibrillation

A
  • no P waves
  • irregular narrow QRD complex at random irregular intervals
20
Q

Atrial flutter

A
  • sawtooth P wave form
21
Q

Bradycardia

A
  • sinus node dysfunction caused by coronary artery disease
  • hypothyroidism
22
Q

Tachycardia

A
  • abnormal impulse formation / conduction
23
Q

Sinus
tachycardia

A
  • caused by drug toxicity or disease
24
Q

Triggered activity

A
  • when depolarization occurs before the cell is fully repolarized
  • not related to SA node firing
25
Q

Re-entry arrhythmias

A
  • abnormal conduction
  • retrograde conduction is blocked as the cells originating the stimuli are still in refractory period
  • antrograde conduction is blocked in one of the paths and impulse travels through the paths which are not blocked
26
Q

Class 1

A
  • block inward Na (slow conduction velocity)
  • block outward K channels (prolong APD)
27
Q

Class 1B

A
  • shorten APD (shorten rate of depolarization)
28
Q

Class 1C

A
  • slows conduction
  • sympatholytic drugs
29
Q

Class 2

A
  • B-blockers
  • slow heart rate, reduced the influx of calcium ions
30
Q

Class 3

A
  • potassium channel blockers
  • slow down electrical impulses
31
Q

Class 4

A
  • calcium channel blockers
  • decrease HR and contraction
32
Q

Inverted T-wave

A
  • due to mild ischemia in the apex of the ventricle
33
Q

causes of cardiac arrhythmias

A
  • damage to heart muscle leads to alterations to conduction and heart rhythm
34
Q

Sinoatrial Block

A
  • sudden stop of P waves, atrium is at standstill
  • ventricles pick up rhythm
35
Q

Atrioventricular block

A
  • Prolonged PR or PQ interval
  • P wave is present but conduction is slowed
  • ventricle beats drop but still generate impulses
36
Q

AV premature contraction

A
  • P wave missing + QRS complex is placed over it’s original place
37
Q

Ventricular Fibrillation

A
  • Coarse contraction of ventricles disappear
  • irregular spasmodic waves
