Rapid EKG II Flashcards
sinus rhythm
created at SA node
-60-100 bpm
bradycardia
<60
tachycardia
> 100
ectopic foci
auto foci other than SA node
atrial foci rate
60-80
junctional foci rate
40-60
vetnricular foci rate
20-40
overdrive suppression
fastest foci is in control
AV junction foci
proximal end - no foci
-rate 40-60
can cause idiojunctional rhythm
rate numbers to know
300-150-100-75-60-50
6 second strip
with two three second intervals
sinus arrhythmia
normal physio mechanism
- slight increase with inspiration
- sympathetic
- slight decrease with expiration
- parasympathetic
bachmanns bundle
SA node to left trium
atrial conduction system
middle, posterior, and anterior internodal tracts
also - bachmanns bundle
AV node near coronary sinus
likely spot of automaticity - bc convergence of several conduction pathways
septum depolarization
left bundle branch has terminal filaments
right bundle branch - no terminal filaments in septum
