normal ecg and arrythmias Flashcards
3 lead placement
5 lead placement
12 lead placement
cardiac conduction
SA node to AV node to bundle of his to left and right bundle branches to perkinjie fibers
A normal P wave
small round and less than 3mm tall
no more than .1 sec
wave caused by SA node (atrial systole)
Q wave
produced by initial depolarization in IVS
1mm deep and 1mm wide
R wave
remaining of ventricular depolarization
ventricular systole
S wave
ventricular depolarization
QRS complex
between .06 and .09 seconds
bundle of his , left and right bundle branches and the purkinjie fibers cause the QTS complex
T wave
ventricular repolarization
IVRT time
less than 6mm with a duration of .01 to .25 sec
diastolic portion of the heart
normal RR interval
one minute is one heart rate
peak to peak
PP interval
in normal the PP and RR intervals are equal
PR interval
measures atrioventricular activation time
QRS interval
time from the beginning of Q to the end of the S wave
QT interval
ventricular systole
ST segment
ventricular ejection is occuring
absolute refractory period
second heart contraction cannot occur
relative refractory period
a strong enough stimulus can cause a second heart contraction
bradycardia
less then 60 BPM
