BB

24
Q

significant Q wave

A

previous heart attack

25
Q

when width of Q wave is greater than .04 sec or amp >1/3 height R wave

A

significant Q wave

26
Q

compensatory pause. sinus node continues to discharge. initiates ventricular depol and makes the ventricle refractory to the supraventricular impulse

A

PVC

27
Q

If see wide wide QRS, what else do you want to know

A

clinical Hx to know if Vtach or SVT

28
Q

delay or total failure of impulse conduction through a part of the heart

A

Block

29
Q

PR interval is longer than .200 sec. need p wave before each QRS

A

1st degree AV block

30
Q

PR interval gets longer until a nonconducted P wave occurs. the RR interval of the pause is less than the two preceding RR intervals, and the RR interval after the pause is greater than the RR interval before the pause. look for group beating. goes away with activity.

A

2nd degree AV Block(Mobitz type 1, Wenckebach)

31
Q

PR interval are constant until a nonconducted P wave occurs. there must be two consecutive constant PR intervals present

A

2nd degree AV block(Mobitz type 2)

32
Q

Mobitz type 2 requires this for treatment

A

pacemaker

33
Q

complete block of signals from atria to ventricles. no synchronization between P and QRS. HR 60s or 40s

A

3rd degree AV block

34
Q

3rd degree AV block requires this for treatment

A

pacemaker

35
Q

Key is R-R’ wave. 2 superimposed QRS complexes firing separately. QRS wider than .12 sec.

A

BBB

36
Q

what leads show RBBB

A

V1, V2

37
Q

what leads show LBBB

A

V5, V6. s wave in lead V1

38
Q

determining axis

A

look at AVF for positive(up) and negative(down)

look at lead I for positive(left), negative(right)

39
Q

look at lead V1 for biphasic p wave or p wave >1.5 mm

A

atrial hypertrophy

40
Q

amplitude of S wave in lead V1 and R wave V5 or 6 exceed 35mm

A

LVH

41
Q

tall R wave in RV leads, deep S waves in LV leads. increase in QRS duration

A

RVH

42
Q

ST depression means

A

subendocardial death or ischemia

43
Q

ST elevation means

A

full thickness death

44
Q

T wave inversion means

A

ischemia

45
Q 
blood supply to heart
LAD=
left circumflex=
right coronary=
AV node=
A

LAD= anterior wall
left circumflex= posterior lateral
right coronary= right ventricle, inferior
AV node= gets supply from RCA

46
Q

Rule for ischemic changes

A

have to see it in 2 or more continuous leads. 1 mm of elevation in limb leads and 2 mm in precordial leads

47
Q

ST depression in V1-3

A

posterior wall AMI

48
Q

depression in V1-3 is posterior vall MI along with II, III, AVF elevation

A

Inferoposterior AMI

49
Q

upright QRS complex in lead I and negative QRS complex in AVF

A

LAFB

50
Q

negative QRS complex in lead I and positive QRS complex in AVF

A

LPFB

51
Q

used in permanent pacemakers. simulates normal physiology of atrial contraction followed by ventricular depolarization

A

dual chamber atrioventricular pacing

52
Q

diffuse ST segment elevation means

A

pericarditis

53
Q

prominent U wave. U wave is typically a slight bump after T wave

A

Hypokalemia

54
Q

cove ST segment elevation in V1-3. sudden cardiac death

A

Brugada syndrome
