17
Q

Sinus Brady

A

HR<60

Each P followed by QRS

18
Q

Sinus arrest

A

No P wave
Junctional rhythm

Normal QRS
HR 40-60

Symptomatic = Sick sinus syndrome
Rx artificial pacemaker

19
Q

AV blocks types

A

Primary
Secondary
Tertiary

20
Q

Primary AV block

A

PR prolonged + each O followed by QRS
(Slow cond from atria to vent but ALL impulses conducted)

Rx underlying cause

21
Q

Secondary AV block

A

2 types
Mobitz 1
Mobitz 2

Intermittent failure of atria to conduct to ventricle
Each P NOT followed by QRS

22
Q

Mobitz 1

A

Progressive PR prolonging till one P not followed by QRS
⬇️
Wenkebach phenomenon

Rx digoxin (NO PACEMAKER NEEDED)

23
Q

Mobitz 2

A

Fixed PR interval (normal or prolonged) with alternate Absent QRS

P:QRS = 2:1
Atrial rate = 80
Vent rate = 40

Rx AVN ischemia give PACEMAKER +

24
Q

Tertiary AV block

A

Complete failure of atrioventricular cond

Idioventicular rhythm starts

Wide QRS + QRS independent of P
HR = 40

Rx pacemaker

25
Q

Tachyarrythmias

A

SAN 1
Atria 3
AVN 1

26
Q

SAN origin

Sinus tachycardia

A

Increase SAN automaticity

HR>100
Each P followed by QRS

Rx thyrotoxicosis, fever

27
Q

Atrial origin tachy

A

Atrial tachycardia
Atrial flutter
Atrial fibrillation

28
Q

Atrial tachycardia

A

> 3 ectopics Away from SAN at HR = 100-250

Atrial rate = vent rate 
Each P (abnormal and negative) followed by QRS 
If P has different morphology - multifical atrial tachycardia 

Rx COPD hypoxia

29
Q

Atrial flutter

A

Sync depolarisation at 250-350 due to RE ENTRY in RA

Ratio 2:1 fixed
Vent rate < atrial rate
SAW TOOTH P waves and each P not followed by QRS

30
Q

Rx Atrial flutter stable

A

Control vent rate BB

Definitive Rx - RFA

31
Q

Rx Atrial flutter unstable

A

DC shock

Stop all pathways and re start only SAN

32
Q

Atrial fibrillation

A

Async atrial rate > 350
Due to stretching of atria in LAE

small amp p fibrillations and absent P with AV block
Irregularly irregular

33
Q

Atrial fibrillation Rx stable

A

Control rate BB

Convert AF into sinus “Cardioversion”
Doc - ibutilide
