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

In a normal individual what is occurring during ivct phase

~ ⬆️ LV pressure


~ valves are open

Where does The ventricle premature beat originate?

The ventricles

Heart's natural pacemaker?

SA node
