ECG (Interpretations, Rhythms, Differentials) Flashcards
What are the main types of SVTs?
Ventricular rhythms
broad QRS, 3+ PVCs in a row
Ventricular tachycardia
Ectopic beats
early QRS, narrow QRS
AV junctional ectopics
SA nodal rhythms
>100bpm
Sinus tachycardia
AV block
non-conducted P waves: PR constant
Second-degree
Mobitz Type II
AV block
long PR
First-degree
Prominent U waves
- • Hypokalemia
- • Hypercalcemia
- • Hyperthyroidism
What are the main types of Escape rhythms?
Atrial rhythms
sawtooth P, atrial rate 300/min, AV bl.
Atrial flutter
Atrial rhythms
>100bpm, abnormally shaped P waves
Atrial tachycardia
What are the main types of Ventricular rhythms?
Ventricular rhythms
broad QRS, HR <120bpm
Accelerated idioventricular rhythm
AV blocks
atria and ventricles are independent
Third-degree
Wide P wave
LAE
SA nodal rhythm
HR increases during inspiration
Sinus arrhythmia
SVTs
narrow QRS, inverted P, P half-buried
• AV re-entry tachycardia
Ventricular rhythms
broad QRS, polymorphic, long QT
Torsades de pointes
Long PR interval
Short PR interval
- Lown–Ganong–Levine syndrome (LGL) is a pre-excitation syndrome of the heart due to abnormal electrical communication between the atria and the ventricles.
Conduction disturbances
V1: tiny R, S, R’; V6: small Q, R, S
Right bundle branch block
J waves present
Hypothermia
SVTs
narrow QRS, P buried inside QRS
AV nodal re-entry tachycardia
