Q

Looks like PVT or VF but there is a regular complex in between the crap, pt has syncope…

A

artifact! myoclonic jerks from syncope can cause this. Pt will be sick with PVT or VF. arrhythmia can cause syncope but syncope can cause myoclonic jerks

Q

Complete heart block and Rate 35 and side

A

CHB plus ventricular rhythm (wide + <40 bpm)

17
Q

What is fusion beat
whatis capture beat
V tach stuff

A

PVC looking QRS- Fusion is a hybrud between SA node and nromal QRS complex and Ventricular paced complex (SA + PVC

Nomral QRS-Capture beat is a nromal beat in between the tachycarrythmia (SA node got a nromal impulse down)

18
Q

RBBB + LAD=

A

Bifasicular block.
RB and LAFB
Just tells you they have a lot damage to the heart
