QUESTION 3
TX of junctional rhythm - ANSWERS-usually none
Symptomatic:
atropine
junctional rhythm rate
junctional accelerated rhythm rate
junctional tachycardia - ANSWERS-junctional rhythm: 40-60
junctional accelerated: 60-100
junctional tachycardia: >100
QUESTION 4
NSR with 1 PJC premature junctional ( rhythm, rate, P wave, site of pacemaker,
QRS, ST segment, QT interval) - ANSWERS-rhythm: regular except for PJC
rate: varies with underlying rhythm
P wave: occur early, not present, or occurs after QRS complex
site of pacemaker: ectopic junctional foci

, UCLA EKG EXAM LATEST
PR interval: varies or absent for PJC
QRS: usually normal
QT interval: normal
conduction: a premature beat, occurs early than expected
QUESTION 5
Causes of PJC - ANSWERS-Digitalis toxicity
acute MI
QUESTION 6
TX of PJC - ANSWERS-continue to observe
QUESTION 7
NSR with PVC - ANSWERS-rhythm: irregular due to premature beat
rate: less atrial rate than ventricular rate
P wave: usually lost within the wide QRS complex
site of pacemaker: besides normal baseline rhythm, ventricular focus originates
suddenly from ectopic focus in the ventricles
