231 Principles Of Electrophysiology Flashcards
(31 cards)
Location pacemaker cells
Junction of RA and SVC
Most common arrhythmia mechanism
Reentry
Delta waves
Wpw
Epsilon waves
Arrhythmigenic right ventricular dysplasia
Brugada syndrome
Prolongation/ shortening of QT interval
Right precordial st segment abnormalities
Signature VT associated with digoxin toxicity
Bidirectional VT
Due to delayed ventricular activation in the region of the RV free wall
Epsilon wave
Arrhythmogenix RV dysplasia coupled with palmar-palmar keratosis and wooly hair
High risk of SCD in adolescents and young adults
Naxos disease
Most common trigger for porentiatjbg cardiac arrhythmias in patients with LQT1
Exercise
Most common precipitant for potentiating cardiac arrhythmias in LQT2
Emotional stress
2 LQT1 alleles:
More dramatic qt prolongation
Deafness
Worse prognosis
Jervell and lange nielsen syndrome
Poorest prognosis of all LQTs
Lqt3
Gene that encodes the cardiac sodium channel on chromosome3
Beta blockers not recommended in this qt syndrome
Exercise not restricted:
Occur during sleep
LQT3
Ecg triad of
Chronic renal failure
Peaked T
Prolonged QT (hypoCa)
LVH
Mc arrhythmia in pulmo embo
Sinus tachycardia
An ecg pattern seen in pulmonary embolism
S1 q3 T3
Earliest exg hanges ischemi
Hyperacute T waves over ischemic zone
Inferior wall ischemia st elevation
II
III
AVF
posterior wall ischemia
Reciprocal st depression V1-V3
Accounts got depolarized membrane potential of cardiac muscle cells (-40 to -60 mV)
Absence of inward rectiier potassium current (Ik1)
Accounts for slow upstroke of phase 0 in cardiac muscle cells
Absence of available fast sodium current,
Mediated by the L tulype alcium current
The most rapid conduction in the heart is observed from these tissues
His bundle and bundle branches
Distinguishes MAT from AF
Presence of an isoelectric baseline
May provide benefit in Rx of MAT
Verapamil
