sign of an ischemic event that doesn't cross the whole width of the
heart muscle
◉ T or F: ST depression can be present for patient who is having
NSTEMI Answer: True
◉ What are the indications of transcutaneous pacing? Answer: 1.
bradycardia unresponsive to drugs
2. 3rd degree heart block

◉ What does failure to pace looks like? Answer:
,◉ What is oversensing? Answer: a pacemaker detects signals other
than depolarization of the relevant chamber.
this can cause the pacemaker to withhold pacing
◉ What does pacemaker oversensing looks like? Answer:
◉ What causes pacemaker oversensing? Answer:
◉ What is the treatment for oversensing? Answer: changing the
sensitivity higher so it doesn't read artifacts as depolarization
◉ What is the pacemaker undersensing? Answer: the pacemaker
fails to register depolarization of a chamber
◉ What is usually the problem when pacemaker is undersensing?
Answer: the sensitivity of pacemaker is to high
