PICS

Question 1

Answer 1

Single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing a ventricular premature beat (VPB)

superimposition is two waves from two foci that come together and average

fully compensated because these two normal ones are the same distance as the three previous normal ones

single pvc with full compensatory pause

Question 2

Answer 2

Single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing an interpolated ventricular premature beat (VPB)

time for sa node to depolarize the ventricle, pvc is between two normal sinus beats with no pause, insignificane

Question 3

Answer 3

Electrocardiogram (ECG) showing ventricular bigeminy

normal beat and then pvc

insignificant (unimportant like pvc)

if cant tolerate pvc you get a pvc ablation (can rupture left ventricle) dont do too dangerous

　

Question 4

Answer 4

Single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing ventricular trigeminy

every 3rd beat is pvc

Question 5

Answer 5

Ventricular couplet

two pvcs in a row

Question 6

Answer 6

Complete heart block: Sinus rhythm with slow junctional or idioventricularescape rhythym

ventricular rate is slow so you know it isnt av dissocation

pvs and qrs complexes are not connected so the ventricles are driven by an idioventricular rhythm, p waves are happening, above complete heart block and below ventricular escape rythym

Question 7

Answer 7

Electrocardiogram (ECG) showing ventricular parasystole

Question 8

Answer 8

Ventricular Flutter

Question 9

Answer 9

Single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing monomorphic ventricular tachycardia

can be called fast vt

flutter if around 250-300

atrial flutter is around 300 also

vflutter is not a perfusing rythm so pt will die

Question 10

Answer 10

Single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT)

vtac usually proarytnmic from drug or a sick heart they are in full blown cardiac arrest, look for hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia

Question 11

Answer 11

Fusion beats

2 waves from same chamber at same time, electromechanical event

so part of ventricle is depolarized from pvc and part from the his purkinje system

superimpostio is electrical event from diff chamber

Question 12

Answer 12

Single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing torsadesde pointes

polymorphic vtac

Question 13

Answer 13

Single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing torsadesde pointes

Question 14

Answer 14

Single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing accelerated idioventricularrhythm

Question 15

Answer 15

Single lead electrocardiogram (ECG) showing ventricular fibrillation

what kills most of us
