Terms in this set (43)
-HR>100bpm (usually 100-150bpm; may be as high
as 250bpm)
-Irregularly irregular rhythm w/ varying PP, PR, RR
Multifocal Atrial intervals
Tachycardia -3 distinct P-wave morphologies in the same lead
-Isoelectric baseline b/w P-waves (no flutter
waves)
-not just a sinus rhythm w/ frequent PACs
, -atrial tachycardia that begins & ends abruptly
-P wave abnormal in comparison to sinus P wave
-atrial rate >100bpm
Paroxysmal Atrial
-3 consecutive identical ectopic p waves
Tachycardia
-QRS usually normal unless pre-existing bundle
branch
-isoelectric baseline
-abnormal (non-sinus) P wave is followed by a
Premature Atrial
QRS complex
Complex (PAC)
-can hide in preceding T wave
-irregularly irregular rhythm
-no P waves
-absence of an isoelectric baseline
Atrial Fibrillation
-variable ventricular rate
-QRS complexes usually <120ms
-coarse or fine fibrillary waves
