Ventricular tachycardia | | Narrow QRS complex, P waves absent or inverted, rate 60-100 |
Ventricular fibrillation | | Heart rate increases with inspiration and decreaseswith expiration |
Atrial fibrillation | | Heart rate 40-60, P waves absent or inverted, QRS narrow |
Third degree block | | A premature wide and bizarrely shaped QRS complex |
Idioventricular | | Hallmark sign of this rhythm is saw tooth waves |
Asystole | | Atria and ventricles do not communicate and initiate impulses separately |
Sinus tachycardia | | PR interval lengthens each cycle until a QRS complex is dropped |
Wenckebach | | Chaotic unorganized lethal rhythm originating n the ventricles |
WAP | | Slightly irregular rhythm, three different P waves in six seconds, rate 60-100 |
Atrial flutter | | Three or more ventricular escape beats in a row at a rate of 20-40 |
First-degree heart block | | Premature beat with an absent or inverted P wave |
Torsades de pointe | | This supraventricular rhythm is irregularly irregular |
Sinus arrhythmia | | Heart rate increases with pain, fever, hypovolemia |
Junctional escape | | Life threatening wide complex tachycardia |
PJC | | Rhythm occurs in well-conditioned athletes |
Sinus bradycardia | | Tachycardia originating in the ventricles that twists along the baseline |
PVC | | Absence of all electrical activity |
Accelerated junctional | | Consistent prolonged PR intervals across an entire strip |
