Q

Which leads will show delta wave, tall R waves, and ST and T wave changes in WPW?

A

V1-V2

17
Q

THis is MC, when kent fiber goes to LV?

A

Type A- WPW patern tall R wave V1-2

18
Q

THis is LC, when kent fiber goes to RV?

A

TYPe B-WPW patern NEG RS or QS wave V1-2. V1-V2 close to septum

19
Q

What is treatment for WPW?

A

Radiofrequency catheter ablation. DX- electrphysiogram determine pathways

20
Q

WHat occurs when ventricale contraction must wait for opposite ventricle(cell to cell)?

A

Slower activation, LONG bizzarie shaped QRS complexes. Bundle branch blocks. Recall QRS .8-.12 2-3bx, SA-AV-HIs-Branches-purkinje

21
Q

In a normal conduction, but ventricles contract at same time, superimposed, what is indicatvie if L brance is blocked?

A

Notched, M-shaped, wide QRS. 1st notch is R, 2nd notich Rprime is L. Left stronger, but delayed.

22
Q

what leads show BBB for L?

A

LC, V1- DEEP NEG QRS, strong impulse away from RV. V5 OR V6- QRS wide. RSR*, notched

23
Q

What is lead with LBBB and MI?

A

V1 deep neg will have tombstone- ST elevation,MI

24
Q

WHat are the rabbit ears?

A

RBBB Rl* is R delayed. MC. Leads V1- RSR rabbit ears, V6- slurred S

25
Q

What should be clinical concern with LBBB and RBBB?

A

RBBB- benign, monitor HTN, vitals, electrolyets, meds/yr. LBBB-MI

26
Q

If there is partial block in LBB system then what is suspected?

A

Fasciular hemiblocks alos likely a Left axis deviation. NOT all LAD and RAD are hemiblocks

27
Q

What are DDx if QT interval is long >0.45sec?

A

HYPOK, MG, CA

28
Q

What are DDx if QRS interval is long >0.12sec?

A

BBB, fasicular block, PVC, Idioventrciular rhythm

29
Q

What are DDx if PR interval is long >0.20sec?

A

AV blocks, 1-3

30
Q

What are DDx if PR interval is short >0.12sec?

A

WPW, LGL
