Terms in this set (80)
EKG or ECG electrocardiogram; graphic representation of electrical
activity of heart via leads placed on skin
Electrical rhythm should cause what? contractions of the heart
Dysrhythmias abnormal rhythms of electrical system
- caused by electrolyte imbalances, CAD, respiratory
problems, drug toxicity, or aging
, Lead Placement White is on right, black is on the left
Clouds over grass
Smoke over fire
Brown in the middle
Automaticity the ability of the heart to create electrical impulses
Excitability the ability of the heart to respond to electrical impulse from
pacemaker cells and depolarize
Conductivity the ability of the heart to send electrical impulse from cell to
cell
Contractility the ability of the heart to respond mechanically
Polarization negative inside cell at resting state
Depolarization movement of sodium that causes inside of cell to be more
positive
Repolarization slower movement of ions as they return to polarized state
Conduction System Know pathway of blood
Know SA node and AV node
SA node to AV node= p wave
QRS complex- down to ventricle
SA (Sinoatrial) Node Normal pacemaker of heart
Impulses at a rate of 60 to 100/minute
Shows up as P wave- SA to AV
P wave represents atrial depolarization
AV (Atrioventricular) Junction Shows up as PR segment-one end of P wave to the other
Back-up system
Rate of 40-60/minute
Bundle of His Left and right bundle branches
