1.How does the SA node relate to normal sinus rhythm? |
~ “Pacemaker” of the heart, initiates electrical pulse ~ Located on the roof of the right atrium (near the IVC) ~ P wave on the ECG ~ Rate of 60 bpm-100 bpm ~ Causes atrial contraction ~ If the SA node fails, other pacemakers can take over (AV node or Purkinj |
|
2.Where does a ventricular premature beat originate? |
~ Premature ventricular contraction ~ Wide QRS complex ~ Not proceeded with a by a P wave ~ Production in the ventricles ~ Extra beats that begins in one of the ventricles |
|
3. What is the heart’s natural pacemaker? |
Sinoatrial Node |
|
4.Identify characteristics of sinus tachycardia. |
~ HR: >100 bpm ~ Normal rhythm ~ Normal QRS |
|
5.Identify characteristics of sinus bradycardia. |
~ HR <60 bpm ~ Regular rhythm ~ Medications that can cause bradycardia: beta blockers, calcium blockers, and digoxin ~ Well-conditioned athletes can have bradycardia (normal)
|
|
Which indicates normal sinus rhythm? |
SA node is the pacemaker |
|
Which statement is true? |
The electrical signal fires first then heart reacts mechanically |

|
Where does The ventricle premature beat originate? |
The ventricles |
