Q

2 test sinus node function tests for bradycardia

A

SNRT
SACT

17
Q

CSNRT

A

SNRT-SCL

18
Q

Reasonable values

A

SNRT<1500ms max CSNRT <550ms and TRT <5s

19
Q

Why causes the av node to decrement?

A

Slow inward calcium channels

20
Q

What specialized conducting fibers of His-Purkinje system make it less decremental

A

Fast sodium channels

21
Q

What V extra stim used for?

A

Determine retrograde conduction, detect accessory pathways, and arrhythmia induction

22
Q

Venoatrial conduction over the node

A

Either baseline or with Isuprel or atropine

23
Q

What V stim concentric atrial activation

A

CS activation proximal to distal, HRA at least 30ms after atrial electrogram registered by His bundle catheter

24
Q

Eccentric retrograde atrial or VA conduction that is non-decremental or shows discontinuity may indicate

A

Accessory path or dual av nodal pathway

25
Q

What rate do you do incremental ventricular pacing

A

Slightly faster than sinus rate down to VA wcl or minimum cl of 300 ms

26
Q

What is unlikely if VA conduction is completely absent

A

AV reentry
AVNRT

27
Q

Programmed V stim using multiple exrastimuli (short-long-short) may facilitate

A

BBB reentry

28
Q

How can you differentiate between aflutter and Atach

A

P wave cycle length on surface ekg

29
Q

Atach cl

A

250-500ms (120-140 beats/min)

30
Q

Cycle length <220ms and rate >270 beats/min

A

Aflutter
