VentricularrhythmsNSR

NSR means…

What is normal sinus rhythm?

A normal heart rate

What is 60 to 100 beats per minute?

“SA” is short for one of the nodes in the heart

What is sinoatrial?

All sinus rhythms have these parts on an ECG

What are PQRST?

Sinus arrhythmias have all the parts of a sinus rhythm except

this

What is a regular rate?

These atrial rhythms are early contractions

of the atria

What are PACs (premature atrial

complexes)?

When the atria are beating way too fast compared to

the ventricles

What is atrial flutter?

On this rhythm, QRS complexes occur irregularly and P

waves are difficult to distinguish

What is atrial fibrillation?

In this rhythm the P waves look like saw

teeth

What is atrial flutter?

This atrial rhythm can lead to blood clots, which can lead to strokes, heart

attacks, pulmonary emboli, and death

What is atrial fibrillation?

This rhythm occurs when the ventricles contract too early

What is a PVC (premature ventricular

contraction)?

More than this many PVCs in one minute indicate that the heart muscle is irritated and

will likely go into a more dangerous rhythm

What is six?

This rhythm is distinguished by

the “V” appearance

What is ventricular tachycardia?

When this rhythm occurs, the

ventricles are quivering

What is ventricular fibrillation?

If ventricular fibrillation is not

treated this will occur

What is death?

This part of the ECG is the ventricular contraction

What is the QRS complex?

This part of the ECG shows the

contraction of the atria

What is the P wave?

The part of the ECG that represents the

repolarization of the ventricle

What is the T wave?

An atrial rhythm that does not

appear to have p waves

What is atrial fibrillation?

Absence of all waveforms

What is asystole?

This rhythm is also called “flatline”

What is asystole?

How to tell the difference in a

PAC and a PVC

What are oddly shaped beats in

PVCs?

A sinus rhythm that is below 60 beats a

minute and regular

What is sinus bradycardia?

A sinus rhythm that is between 100 and 150 beats per

minute and regular

What is sinus tachycardia?

Make your wager

The way to distinguish a PAC rhythm from

plain old sinus arrhythmia

What are spikey-looking P waves?
