|
A-fib |
Junky baseline with an irregular rate. Narrow QRS complex |
|
|
A-flutter |
Seesaw pattern in between beats. Narrow QRS complex |
|
|
Junctional rhythm |
Starts at the AV node (40-60 beats). P waves are inverted on not present |
|
|
PJC (Premature Junctional Complex) |
Impulses that fire too early from the AV node. P waves not present or inverted. Rate is irregular. QRS complex is narrow |
|
|
PAC (Premature Atrial Contraction) |
Impulses that fire too early from the atrias. P waves are upright but not round. QRS complex is narrow. (Normal rhythm with an early beat) |
|
|
PVC (Premature ventricular contraction) |
A beat the fires too early in the ventricles. P waves are present. QRS complex is wide. |
|
|
AVNRT (Atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia) |
Results due to a presence of reentry circuit within the AV node. Little inverted bump before T wave. QRS narrow. |
|
|
IVR (Idioventricular rhythm) |
Less than 50 beats. Regular in appearance. Absent p waves. QRS complex is wide. |
|
|
AIVR (Accelerated idioventricular rhythm) |
Greater than 100 beats. P waves are absent. QRS complex are wide. |
|
|
First degree heart block |
P waves are further away from the QRS complex. QRS complex is narrow. |
|
|
Second degree heart block type 1(Wenckebach) |
More than one p wave before QRS complex. QRS complex is narrow. PR interval grows before it drops a QRS complex. |
|
|
Second degree heart block type 2 |
More p waves than QRS complex. QRS complex is narrow. PR interval remains constant. |
|
|
Third degree heart block |
Artias and ventricles beat at different times. QRS complex is wide. |
|
|
WAP (Wandering atrial pacemaker) |
Irregular appearance. 3 different looking p waves. Rate under 100 bpm. |
|
|
MAT (Multifocal atrial tachycardia) |
Almost like WAP but rate is above 100 beats. |
|
|
WPW (Wolff-Parkinson-white syndrome) |
Has a p wave, has a t wave. Slanted delta wave. |
|
|
SVT (Supra-ventricular tachycardia) |
P wave and t wave over lap because rate is too fast. |
|
|
PEA (Pulseless electoral activity) |
Pt has cardiac rhythm but no pulse. Can be any rhythm. |
|
|
F-fib (Ventricular fibrillation) |
No identifiable p waves, QRS or t waves. Sawtooth pattern. |
|
|
TDP (Torsades de pointes) |
Wide and rapid QRS complex. (QRS looks like they twisting on the strip) (polymorphic tachycardia = more than one QRS complex) |
|
|
V-tach (Ventricular tachycardia) |
Rapid and wide QRS complex. (Monomorphic tachycardia= QRS complexes looks the same) |
|
|
Accelerated Junctional |
Junctional rhythm but faster than 60 BMP. P waves will be inverted or absent. |
|
|
Retrograde P wave |
Is a Junctional rhythm indicating that the AV node initiated depolarization but the ventricles were depolarized just before the atria. |
|
|
Junctional escape beat |
Same appearance as PJCs but late not early. |
|
|
2:1 AV block |
Is a second degree type 2 heart block but with two p waves before a QRS. |
|
|
Atrial paced |
Paced before the p wave (p waves are longer than normal) |
|
|
Ventricular paced |
Before the QRS complex (QRS complex is wide) |
|
|
AV paced (dual chamber) |
Paced before p wave and before QRS complex ( p wave will be longer than normal. QRS will be wide) |
