vagal parasym outflow
-due to increased pressure in arterial circulation baroreceptor reflex |
|
what is sinus arrythmia
|
heart rate isnt steady but within normal range
|
|
what is sinoatrial block
|
sa node doesn't discharge
doesn't excite atrial cells no p wave av node takes over |
|
how many levels are there in atrioventricular block
|
3
|
|
what can cause atrioventricular block
|
ischemia of theave node or bundle of his
irritation of bundle high vagal outflow |
|
what is first degree heart block
|
slowed conduction through av node
increased P-R interval |
|
what is second degree heart block
|
not all p waves penetrate av node
all p wave there but not all qrs may have 2:1, |
|
what is third degree heart block
|
complete block of av node
new ventricular pacemaker P-P constant R-R constant P-R interval always changing |
|
what is stokes adams syndrome
|
third degree heart block
block not constant last from seconds to months -mild ischemia |
|
how is stokes adams syndrome treated
|
installing a pacemaker
|
|
what are premature atrial contractions
|
spontaneous atrial depolarization
one time event shortened P-R Longer delay to next P wave |
|
what is premature ventricular contraction
|
prolongedand large QRS with inverted T
|
|
what is paroxsmal atrial tachycardia
|
sudden onset fast HR originating in atria
abnormal P because new pacemaker |
|
what is paroxysmal ventricular tachycardia
|
can lead to
-ischemic cardiac damage -ventricular fibrillation |
|
how do we treat PVT
|
increased vagal outflow
-massage carotid sinus -press on eyes -valsava maneuver -quindine or lidocaine |
|
what is atrial fibrillation
|
enlarged atrial
prolonged conduction path circus rythyms no p waves rapid QRS |
|
what is atrial flutter
|
circus rythyms before atrial fibrillation
atrial HR up around 200-350 |
|
How do we treat ventricular fibrillation
|
placing all cells indepolarized state simultaneously
