EKG Final Review Flashcards
Phase 0
Qrs on ekg
Phase 1
Early repolarization; slight decrease on waveform
Phase 2
Plateau phase; ST segment
Phase 3
Rapid repolarization; t wave
Phase 4
Polarization; resting
Non pacemaker site generate a faster than normal impulse or a pacemaker site that generates at a faster than normal rate
Enhanced automaticity
Cells in non-pacemaker site depolarize more than once after a single stimulus
Triggered activity
What creates conditions for reentry
Accessory pathways
Bipolar leads
Standard and MCL
Unipolar leads
Augmented and precordial
Einthoven: right arm always ______, left leg always _______.
Negative, positive
Unipolar: computer assumes central point is _____
Negative
When are MCL used
Distinguish between L/R BBB and distinguishing between different arrhythmias
PR interval activity
SA node thru Perkinje fibers
Normal p wave measurements
2.5mm high, 0.12 sec duration
PR segment activity
AV node and his-purkinje activation
Normal PR interval
.12-.20
ST segment correlates to which refractory period
Absolute refractory period
Peak of T wave to bottom of T wave corresponds to what refractory period
Relative
Sequential intervals
300, 150, 100, 75, 60, 50
Period of supernormal period on ekg
Any time after T before QRS
No stimulation will result in contraction l; beginning of QRS to peak of T wave
Effective (absolute) refractory period
