CARDIAC HEALTHSTREAM TELEMETRY EXAM (2025)
COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
( DETAILED & ELABORATED) ACTUAL EXAM 2025 TEST!!
Ventricular Rhythms - CORRECT ANSWERS -Idioventricular Rhythm / agonal (~20-40)
-Accelerated Idioventricular rhythm (60-100)
-Premature Ventricular Complex
-Ventricular Tachycardia >100
-Ventricular Fibrillation
-Torsades de Pointes
Idioventricular Rhythm - CORRECT ANSWERS -Rate: <50 bpm, slow
-Impulses originating from the ventricles, escape p, no SA/AV impulse
-Indicates ventricles producing escape beats
-No P-waves
-Wide QRS >0.12
Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm - CORRECT ANSWERS -Rate: 50-100 bpm
When 3 or more ventricular beats appear in sequence.
Same rules as idioventricular except faster rate.
-QRS wide >0.12
Premature Ventricular Complex (PVC) - CORRECT ANSWERS Occur when a ventricular
site generates an impulse before next regular sinus beat. Frequent PVC's may cause heart to
skip a beat.
-Wide QRS
-QRS shape can be WIDE & bizarre
-No P wave
-Bigeminy, Trigenminy, Quadrigeminy types
, CARDIAC HEALTHSTREAM TELEMETRY EXAM (2025)
COMPREHENSIVE QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED ANSWERS
( DETAILED & ELABORATED) ACTUAL EXAM 2025 TEST!!
-Couplet (2 PVCs consecutive)
-Triplet (3 PVCs consecutive)
PVC Bigeminy - CORRECT ANSWERS every other beat is PVC
PVC Trigeminy - CORRECT ANSWERS every 3rd beat is PVC
PVC Couplet and Triplet - CORRECT ANSWERS
Quadrigeminy - CORRECT ANSWERS every 4th beat is PVC
Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) - CORRECT ANSWERS -Rate: >100
Impulses originate from ventricles.
-Wide QRS d/t origination in the ventricles
-Can be monomorphic (QRS complexes of same height) or polymorphic (QRS varies in shape
and size- if QT long may be Torsades)
Ventricular Tachycardia Monomorphic - CORRECT ANSWERS
Ventricular Tachycardia Polymorphic - CORRECT ANSWERS
Ventricular Fibrillation (VFib) - CORRECT ANSWERS D/t chaos in ventricles bc no
organized electrical activity to generate muscle activity, ventricles quivering, pulselessness, no
blood circulating
-No normal EKG waves present
-No HR
