EKG Rhythm Strip Prime Healthcare
Idioventricular - answer Regular
Rate: 20-50
P wave: NONE
PR Interval: N/A
QRS: WIDE, >0.12 sec
Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia - answerOccurs when the QRS complexes
gradually change back and forth from one shape, size, and direction to another over a
series of beats.
Controlled Atrial Fibrillation - answerVentricular rate is less than 100 (50 and 100) and is
irregularly irregular with no discernible P waves ('f' waves are present instead).
fibrillation: irregular beats by the atria
Sinus Bradycardia - answer<60 bpm
Complete Heart Block - answerresults in the ventricles depolarizing independently from
the atria
Sinus Rhythm with unifocal PVC's (couplets)-PVC Couplets - answerPVC couplets
involve two successive premature beats. Both rhythms might cause feelings of skipped
or extra heartbeats, palpitations, or possibly lightheadedness.
SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) - answerIncreased heart rhythm caused by impulses
originating above the ventricles, as in the AV node
Normal Sinus Rhythm - answerheart rhythm originating in the sinoatrial node with a rate
in patients at rest of 60 to 100 beats per minute
Sinus Rhythm with unifocal PVC's in Bigeminy - answerevery other beat is a PVC
Ventricular Tachycardia - answerA rapid heart rhythm in which the electrical impulse
begins in the ventricle (instead of the atrium), which may result in inadequate blood flow
and eventually deteriorate into cardiac arrest.; wide and bizarre QRS complex
Sinus Rhythm with a "run" of PVC's-Run of PVCs - answerSeveral PVCs in a
succession. Three or more are considered the beginning of ventricular tachycardia
Atrial Flutter - answeroften described as "a-flutter with 2 to 1 block or 3 to 1 block"
flutter: regular or irregular beat, but faster and more often than the ventricles
