HCA EKG Strips Questions and
Answers
Atrial Flutter -has a "saw tooth or picket fence" atrial pattern (no P waves, F-waves in
stead that may be in a ratio) between the QRS complexes. - ANS-




Atrial Fibrillation-Has "chaotic" atrial electrical activity (no P waves, f-waves instead)




with irregular R-R intervals. - ANS-

PJCs cause the rhythm to be irregular. The P wave is inverted if it can be seen. It may
occur before, during or after the QRS. The P wave will not be seen due to its low




voltage. - ANS-

, Junctional Rhythm may have an inverted or absent P wave. The P wave may occur
before, during or after the QRS complex. The rate for this rhythm is 40-60 bpm. - ANS-




Accelerated Junctional Rhythm may have an inverted or absent P wave. The P wave
may occur before, during or after the QRS complex. The rate for this rhythm is 60-100




bpm. - ANS-

Junctional Tachycardia Rhythm may have an inverted or absent P wave. The P wave
may occur before, during or after the QRS complex. The rate for this rhythm is 100-180




bpm - ANS-

Supraventricular Tachycardia presents with a "normal-narrow" appearing QRS complex
and a rate of greater than 150 bpm. Remember for heart rates approaching 150 or
