Question 10

What is ARRHYTHMIA

Answer 10

Condition where the heart beats with an irregular or abnormal rhythm.

Literally means without rhythm

Question 11

Normal Rhythm

Answer 11

Equal distance between similar waves

Question 12

Irregular Rhythms

Answer 12

Rhythms that lack a constant duration between cycles

Question 13

Sinus Arrhythmia

Answer 13

All P waves are identical

P QRST are usually normal

Timing of the cycles are irregular

Increases in inspiration
Decreases in expiration

Question 14

Wandering pacemaker

Answer 14

Changing position of pacemaker discharge

From focus to focus

P wave shapes vary

The rate is less than 100

Question 15

What is MAT?

Answer 15

Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia

Question 16

Ectopic Foci

Answer 16

Atria

AV function

Ventricles

Question 17

Atria in Ectopic Foci

Answer 17

See a P prime wave look different than P waves generated by SA node

Question 18

AV function in ectopic foci

Answer 18

There is generally no P wave seen however there may be an inverted P wave before, within or after the QRS. This is due to Retrograde Stimulation

Question 19

Ventricles

Answer 19

See a wide bizarre looking QRS complex

An irregular where no real P waves only atrial spikes is

Answer 22

Atrial fibrillation

Question 23

An irregular , P waves are identical is

Answer 23

Sinus arrhythmia

Question 24

Equal distance between similar waves are

Answer 24

Normal rhythm

Question 25

Normal conduction of the electrical impulse

Answer 25

Presence of ectopic foci

Question 26

Sa node description

Answer 26

SA node fires causing Atrial depolorization then the impulse goes to the AV node ( 1/10 of a second pause) then goes to the branches down the Purkinje fibers causing the ventricles to depolarize
