24
Q

What is sinus arrhythmia vs sinus rhythm vs atrial fibrillation

A 
Sinus rhythm ( normal rhythm of heart from SAN) regular 
sinus arrhythmia ( not normal rhythm from SAN ) irregular regular 
irregular irregular

Q

What is typical of Atrial Fibrillation

A 
No P waves on ECG
QRS complex of normal shape 
Irregular irregular pulse
Atria not beating in harmony 
The danger of clot-forming due to stagnant blood in ventricles forming a clot
26
Q

What is a common cause of Atrial Fibrillation

A

myocardial ischemia and myocardial infarction

What is random up and down hills on an ECG and is it bad and what could it be

A

Ventricular Fibrillation and very bad ( crash team )

What is asystole

A

very gradual lines and pretty much a cardiac arrest
