Basic Dysrhythmia-Relias graded A+ 2023 already passed

Basic Dysrhythmia-Relias graded A+ 2023 already passed normal sinus rhythm heart rhythm originating in the sinoatrial node with a rate in patients at rest of 60 to 100 beats per minute Sinus Arrhythmia Appearance is ALMOST NORMAL: Respiratory - Circulatory interaction Rate INCREASES with INSPIRATION (IN=IN) Sinus Bradycardia <60 normal sinus rhythm Sinus Tachycardia >100 (100-150) normal sinus rhythm Premature Atrial Contraction (PAC) Heart Rate: Depends on underlying rhythm Regularity: Interrupts the regularity of underlying rhythm P-Wave: can be flattened, notched, or unusual. May be hidden within the T wave PRI: measures between .12-.20 seconds and can be prolonged; can be different from other complexes QRS: <.12 seconds Sinus Arrest/Pause - SA node doesn't fire - notice absence of P-wave for a complete cycle (a missed cycle) length of pause ≠ multiple of normal rate (block) Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib) an irregular and often very fast heart rate originating from abnormal conduction in the atria Atrial Flutter irregular beating of the atria; often described as "a-flutter with 2 to 1 block or 3 to 1 block" Junctional Rhythm 40-60 Regular! -impulse from AV node w/ retro/antegrade transmission - P wave often inverted/buried/follow QRS - slow rate - narrow QRS (not wide like ventricular) Junctional Tachycardia >60 bpm (ms. K; 150-250) - KEY: will be regular (consistent) - AV junction produces a rapid sequence of QRS-T cycles - p-wave often inverted/buried/follow QRS Premature Junctional Contraction Inverted p wave or hidden p wave PRI<0.12 or none Normal QRS Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) an abnormal heart rhythm arising from aberrant electrical activity in the heart; originates at or above the AV node
