Answers4

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. - ANSWERS-



Atrial Fibrillation-Has "chaotic" atrial electrical activity (no P waves, f-waves instead) with
irregular R-R intervals. - ANSWERS-



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. - ANSWERS-



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. - ANSWERS-



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. - ANSWERS-



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 - ANSWERS-



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 higher, it will be
very likely that the P wave will be buried. Be prepared to increase the paper speed for this
rhythm. - ANSWERS-



First Degree AV Block, the PR interval is constant and measures greater than 0.20 second. -
