26
Q

preceded by P-wave
usu narrow QRS
may not conduct to ventricle
resets SA

A

supraventricular PAC

27
Q

no p-wave
wide QRS
may not conduct to atrium
usu no effect on SA

A

ventricular PVC

28

30
Q

saw-tooth

A

atrial flutter

saw tooth=p’s

31
Q

AV reciprocating Tacyhcardia

Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome

A

“Bypass tract”: connecting atria to ventricle

“preexcitation” of ventricle by bypass track (in addition to activation by AV node pathway)

32
Q

____ tachyarrhythmias are responsive to electrical cardioversion

A

ventricular

33
Q

monomorphic VT

A

wide complex tachycardia, similar QRS

wide bc VT lacks coordinate electrical activities of ventricles

reentry arrhythmia from one area of ventricle (often prior myovcardial infection scar)

34
Q

polymorphic VT

A

wide complex tachycardia, variable QRS

acute ischemia, meds that prolong QT

can progress to Vfib

TORSADES DE POINTES

drugs, dec K/Mg, congenital abnml

Tx: Mg sulfate

35

A

can have wide QRS if BBB

AV association (P before QRS)

36
Q

wide QRS (>120ms) can be

A

V tach (monomorphic or polymorphic)

or

supraventricular w/ BBB

37
Q

first degree AV block tx

atria rate>ventricle rate

A

complete AV block

40
Q

delta wave

short PR

A

WPW

41
Q

wide complex
irregular
tachycardic

A

a fib in WPW
