SHARP ECG TEST
heart layers -CORRECT ANSWERS -
Endocardium ( inner), myocardium ( middle), and epicardium ( outer)
treatment for a fib -CORRECT ANSWERS -
heparin & diltiazem (cardizem)
Treatment for atrial flutter -CORRECT ANSWERS -
Medication and/or electrical cardioversion
Treatment for Atrial Tachycardia -CORRECT ANSWERS -
- Adenosine
- procainamide
- amiodarone
- BB
-CCB
tachycardia and bradycardia -CORRECT ANSWERS -
>100 bpm
<60 bpm
Bigeminy -CORRECT ANSWERS -
every other complex is a PVC
Trigeminy -CORRECT ANSWERS -
pattern in which every third complex is a premature beat
Premature Junctional Contraction (PJC) -CORRECT ANSWERS -
Rate: Normal or accelerated
P wave: inverted or absent
QRS: normal
Conduction: normal
rhythm: irregular: PICs occur early in cycle of baseline rhythm
, -an ectopic pacemaker in the AV Junction produces PJC's
-may occur in heatlhy or diseased hearts
-if occasional, insignificant
Premature Atrial Contraction (PAC) -CORRECT ANSWERS -
Heart Rate: Depends on underlying rhythm
Regularity: Interrupts the regularity of underlying rhythm
P-Wave: can be flattened, notched, or unusual. May be hidden within the T wave
PRI: measures between .12-.20 seconds and can be prolonged; can be different from
other complexes
QRS: <.12 seconds
Characteristics of Ventricular Tachycardia -CORRECT ANSWERS -
Wide an bizarre QRS complex, greater than 100 beats per minute, absent P waves, no
PRI, can be monomorphic or polymorphic
SA node rate -CORRECT ANSWERS -
60-100 bpm
AV node rate
40-60 bpm -CORRECT ANSWERS –
Prukinje fiber rate
15-40bpm
Accelerated Junctional Rhythm -CORRECT ANSWERS -
regular rhythm, rate 60-100, p waves inverted or occur before during or after QRS, PRI
measured if p before QRS <0.12
