Module 2 Flashcards
bradycardia
tachycardia
> 100 bpm
Spread of electrical excitation
- SA node
- Internodal pathway
- AV node
- bundle of his
- right and left bundle branches
- Purkinje fibers
time of electrical conduction
0.2-0.3 seconds
Increase temp
Various drugs
inspiration
all act to ____ the heart rate
increase
Respiratory sinus arrhythmia
normal occurrence, as a result of inspiration/vagus reflex
Increase parasympathetic influence
decrease sympathetic influence
meds- digitalis
all act to _____ the heart rate
decrease
how does inspiration affect the heart rate?
brief decrease in vagus tone thus increases the heart rate
time for atria to depolarize
0.1 sec
Bachmann bundle aka
anterior pathway- transmits directly to left atria
length of delay at AV node
0.1 sec
fxn to allow atrial kick
Sympathetic NS will ______ delay at AV node
Shorten
S S
Parasympathetic NS will ______ delay at AV node
lengthen
time for ventricle depolarization
0.1 sec
P wave
SA node is depolarized, sends AP throughout atria via internal atrial pathways
1/10 second (wow 0.1 for everything)
conduction delay at AV node
0.1 sec. “PR” or “PQ” INTERVAL- from start of atrial contract to start of ventricle contraction
Q wave
septal depolarization
R wave
ventricular depolarization
S wave
depolarization of pukinje fibers
ST SEGMENT
NO electrical activity
T wave
ventricular repolarization
Segment vs interval
Segment = between waves Interval = include one of both waves
ELEVATED ST segment
potential acute MI, ischemia
DEPRESSED ST segment
potenial ischemia, acute posterior MI
Complete Block
3rd degree
complete disruption of conduction btwn atria and ventricles
Incomplete block
1st - all atrial impulses reach bent ricks but its slow
2nd- some atrial impulse reach ventricle
Many P wave with occasional QRS
EKG of 3rd degree black
Elongated PR interval
EKG of 1st degree block
