Cardiovascular Flashcards
1st Degree Heart Block
R far from P then you have 1st degree
PR interval > 0.2 seconds
2nd Degree Heart Block
Mobitz type 1
Longer, longer, longer, drop then you have Wenckebach
PR interval becomes progressively longer w/ each cycle then last P wave does not conduct to the ventricles
2nd Degree Heart Block
Mobitz type 2
Some Ps don’t get through then you have Mobitz II
Normal P waves & consistent PR interval
Usually a set ratio 2:1 or 3:1
After the dropped QRS the next P arrives right on time
3rd Degree Heart Block
Ps & Qs don’t agree then you have 3rd degree
AV dissociation
No correlation b/w P waves & QRS complexes
