AAH practice test
1. The T Wave represents Ans : ventricular re-polarization
2. If the heart is in a state of asystole Ans : There is no contraction
3. What are the bipolar leads Ans : I, II, and III
4. The most common type of supraventricular Tachycardia is Ans : AV nodal Reen-
trant tachycardia (AVNRT)
5. In 2 Ans : 1 AV block, the PR interval Ans : Lengthens
6. In sinus arrhythmia, a gradual decreasing of the heart rate is usually asso- ciated
with Ans : Expiration
7. When the cardiac muscle cell is stimulated, the cell is said to Ans : Depolarize
8. Leads, II,III AVF view which portion of the heart Ans : Inferior
9. A regular rhythm with a rate of 100-250 beats per minute would most likely be
Ans : Atrial Tachycardia
10. Artifact can be cause by Ans : Alternating currents, Patient movements, poorly
applied or dirty sensors
11. When you have more than one premature beat that are of a different kind they
are called Ans : Multifocal
12. What is the rate range for junctional tachycardia? Ans : 100-180
13. Another name for the S-A node is Ans : Pacemaker
14. Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome is associated with Ans : Short P-R interval,
delta wave, wide QRS complex
15. How are frequent PAC's usually managed? Ans : Correcting the underlying cause
16. The term for three or more PVC's occurring in a row at a rate of more than 100
beats per min is? Ans : A run of ventricular Tachycardia
17. How do you determine whether the atrial rhythm on an ECG tracing is
1/
11
, regular or Irregular ? Ans : Compare to P to P Intervals
18. Tall, Peaked T waves observed on the ECG are most commonly seen in patients
with. Ans : Hyperkalemia
19. Leads V3 and V4 view which portion of the heart? Ans : Anterior
20. A normal rhythm with a normal rate is a Ans : Normal Sinus Rhythm
21. Defibrillation is a Ans : Shock to the heart to stop the heart and shock to the heart to
change rhythms
22. Which of the following small waves sometimes appears between the T wave
and P wave? Ans : U wave
23. What structure maintains the control of the control of blood flowing
through the heart? Ans : Valves
