EXAM QUESTIONS
Cardiac rhythms may be classified as: - ✔✔ correct answer 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 answer Sinus node, AV node, Atrium, or Ventricle and the
conduction pattern
Normal range for sinus rhythm - ✔✔ correct answer 60-100 bpm
If the rhythm is regular, - ✔✔ correct answer Look at the rate
(>100 Fast, 60-90 Normal, or <60 Slow)
if rhythm is irregular - ✔✔ correct answer note the pattern of irregularity
(sporadic, regularly irregular, or irregularly irregular)
Fast >100 rates - ✔✔ correct answer Sinus Tachycardia
Supraventricular (atrial or nodal) Tachycardia
Atrial Flutter with a regular ventricular response
Ventricular Tachycardia
Normal 60-90 rates - ✔✔ correct answer Normal sinus rhythm
Second degree AV block
Atrial Flutter with a regular ventricular response
Slow <60 rates - ✔✔ correct answer Sinus Bradycardia
Second-Degree AV block
Complete Heart Block

EXAM QUESTIONS
100-180 bpm - ✔✔ correct answer sinus tachycardia
150-250 bpm - ✔✔ correct answer supraventricular (atrial or nodal) tachycardia
100-175 bpm - ✔✔ correct answer Atrial Flutter with a regular ventricular response (fast)
60-90 bpm - ✔✔ correct answer normal sinus rhythm (heart rate)
60-100 bpm - ✔✔ correct answer Second- degree AV Block (normal)
75-100 bpm - ✔✔ correct answer Atrial Flutter with a regular ventricular response (normal)
<60 bpm - ✔✔ correct answer sinus bradycardia
30-60 bpm - ✔✔ correct answer second-degree AV block (slow)
<40 bpm - ✔✔ correct answer Complete heart block
Premature or extra beats at random intervals, but normal underlying rhythm (e.g., atrial or
ventricular premature contractions, sinus arrhythmia) - ✔✔ correct answer Sporadic
Regular pattern of cadences (ventricular trigeminy) - ✔✔ correct answer Regularly Irregular
No discernable regularity (atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter) - ✔✔ correct answer Irregularly Irregular
Rhythm varies cyclically, speeding up with inspiration and slowing down with expiration.
