tachy arrhtymia Flashcards
atrial tachys
atrial fib or atrial flutter
atrial fib
absent p wave, lump baseline, ventritrigular response is irreg irreg.
atrial flutter
atrial activiity 280-230, saw tooth pattern, usually regular atrial respiratory (R-R), circuit around tricuspid valve
supra ventricular tachy (QRS and types)
narrow QRS, AVNRT and AVRT
AVNRT
AV node reentrant, goes back up the slow/fast pathways, makes a loop
AVRT
av reciprocating tachy: bipass tract exists that is being used, allows pre excitation, rapid conversion back to sinus
wolf parkinson whute
delta waves, evidence of AVRT even when back in normal rhythm
V tach
wide complex rhythm, wide QRS, monomorphic (scar) or polymorphic
v fib
bad, no blood pumping, quick progression to asystole
