Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment
Cardiac rhythms may be classified as: - CORRECT ANSWERS-Regular or irregular

When rhythms are irregular, or rates are either fast or slow, and ECG will identify the origin of the beats to
be what? - CORRECT ANSWERS-Sinus node, AV node, Atrium, or Ventricle and the conduction pattern

Normal range for sinus rhythm - CORRECT ANSWERS-60-100 bpm

If the rhythm is regular, - CORRECT ANSWERS-Look at the rate
(>100 Fast, 60-90 Normal, or <60 Slow)

if rhythm is irregular - CORRECT ANSWERS-note the pattern of irregularity
(sporadic, regularly irregular, or irregularly irregular)

Fast >100 rates - CORRECT ANSWERS-Sinus Tachycardia
Supraventricular (atrial or nodal) Tachycardia
Atrial Flutter with a regular ventricular response
Ventricular Tachycardia

Normal 60-90 rates - CORRECT ANSWERS-Normal sinus rhythm
Second degree AV block
Atrial Flutter with a regular ventricular response

Slow <60 rates - CORRECT ANSWERS-Sinus Bradycardia
Second-Degree AV block
Complete Heart Block

100-180 bpm - CORRECT ANSWERS-sinus tachycardia

150-250 bpm - CORRECT ANSWERS-supraventricular (atrial or nodal) tachycardia

100-175 bpm - CORRECT ANSWERS-Atrial Flutter with a regular ventricular response (fast)

60-90 bpm - CORRECT ANSWERS-normal sinus rhythm (heart rate)

60-100 bpm - CORRECT ANSWERS-Second- degree AV Block (normal)

75-100 bpm - CORRECT ANSWERS-Atrial Flutter with a regular ventricular response (normal)

<60 bpm - CORRECT ANSWERS-sinus bradycardia

30-60 bpm - CORRECT ANSWERS-second-degree AV block (slow)

<40 bpm - CORRECT ANSWERS-Complete heart block
