Q

Phase 3 representation on ECG?

A

T wave

16
Q

Absolute refractory period ( effective refractory)

A

The cell will not respond to further stimulation

17
Q

Relative refractory period ( vulnerable period)

A

Cardiac cells have depolarizer to the threshold potential and can be stimulated to respond ( depolarize) Aka T wave

18
Q

SA intrinsic rate

A

60- 100

19
Q

AV junction pacemaker firing rate

A

40-60

20
Q

Bundle of His, receives blood from?

A

LF and posterior descending coronary arteries.

21
Q

Purkinje fibers pacemaker rate?

A

20-40

22
Q

Trigger activities result from?

A

Abnormal electrical impulses that occur during repolarization.

23
Q

Ectopic

A

Impulse originating from a source other that the SA

24
Q

Reentry

A

Spread of an impulse through tissue already stimulated by the same impulse.

25
Q

Escape (beat/rhythms)

A

Term used when the SA node slows or fails to initiate depolarization and a slower site spontaneously produces an impulse, assuming responsibility for pacing the heart.

26
Q

Normal QRS duration?

A

.11 sec or less

27
Q

Ventricle repolarization is represented by which ECG wave?

A

T

28
Q

PR intervals which are the same are said to be?

A

Constant

29
Q

PR intervals which increase until a QRS isn’t present is referred to as?

A

Lengthening

30
Q

PR interval that vary in duration and have no pattern are said to be?

A

Variable
