1 spot of heart (mono monomorphic-uniformal appearance)

Question 21

multifocal

Answer 21

starts different places in heart (polymorphine: different form)

monomorphic-unifocal

Question 23

paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)

Answer 23

is a specific type of SVT.

It's a rhythm that starts and stops abruptly, unlike some other SVTs (like Afib, which can persist).

Question 24

what is Paroxysmal

Answer 24

= “sudden onset and sudden stop”

Question 25

NSVT have 3 or more what?

Answer 25

3 or more consecutive supraventricular beats

Question 26

what medication helps with SVTs?

Answer 26

verapamil

Question 27

what does verapamil (CCB) do?

Answer 27

slows AV node conduction

Question 28

SVT begins?

Answer 28

above the ventricle (Atria)

Answer 29

PVCs

Question 30

PVCs are?

Answer 30

random

Question 31

is there a pulse in PVCs?

Answer 31

no, no pulse

Question 32

Treatment for SVT?

Answer 32

1st check pulse, (if pulse--> Verapamil), 2nd (if no pulse--> start CPR)

Question 33

Torsades de pointes (Tdap) EKG is found in?

Answer 33

alcoholics

Question 34

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is?

Answer 34

heart rhythm where ventricles are quivering---> leads to Cardiac death -Electric waves seen

Question 35

what is cardiac death?

Answer 35

no blood is pumping--> leads to DFib

Question 44

repolarization is what wave (s)?

Answer 44

T wave
