EKG-Blocks_Pre-Excite Flashcards
What is conduction disturbance btwn Atria and ventricles?
Heart block
This is normal at rest but concerning, can be seen with Meds, stimulants, caffiene?
SVT; TX w/ adenosine or valsalva
What measure time from atria to AV node and if delayed means AV block?
PR interval. Normal is .12-20, 4x. Delayed transient or permanent impaired transmission through AVjx
This rhythm is regual, under a NSR, consitent PRI is >4bx, w/ QRS normal?
1 Degree AV block
2 degree type I AV has what?
Progressively longer PRI 2. Then One QRS drops
What is occureing with second degree blocks?
Gets longer bc retracing. Ventricular Irregular, Atria rythm is regular. QRS normal
What occurs at bundle of his, branches or trifascular?
2nd degree AV block TYPE 2. QRS wide w/ drop 3. PR consitently normal or prolonged 4. Ventricular irregular 5. PAC is Early
3 degree AV block have regular what?
P-P, R-R 2. Wide QRS. NO association btwn atria ad ventricles
Which AV blocks require pacemaker?
2 degree Type 2 and 3rd degree. both symptomatic, palpitations, or syncope
WHat are formed during cardiac development in a variety of locations where impulses can travel?
Pre exciation syndromes. Wolfe Parkinson-White, Lown-Ganong-Levine (james fibers) Mahaim-type fibers
What is the fiber called within a WPW?
Bundle of kent fiber
In a pre excitation syndrome, what affect the appearance of the ECG?
Accessory pathway can conduct impulse MC in both directions. Anterograde towards ventricle, Retrograde- away from
Why are pre excitation syndromes concerning?
Cause PSVT, Vfib, Sudden Death. RECOGNIZE to save a life. SX- dizzy, palpitain, syncompe, sudden death
During WPW Delta way is noted. what does it mean?
Ventricle is activated prematurely, short PRI, impulse delayed at AV node-Widen QRS
What are stats fro WPW?
50-50% symptomatic. Bimodal- 1peak childhood, 2nd peak adult
