EKG Rhythm Interpretation

Front

What is Sinus Bradycardia?

Back

A heart rhythm characterized by a slower than normal heart rate, typically less than 60 beats per minute, originating from the sinus node.

Front

What is NSR PAC?

Back

Normal Sinus Rhythm with Premature Atrial Contractions, where the heart rhythm is normal but there are early beats originating from the atria.

Front

What is Idioventricular Rhythm?

Back

A slow heart rhythm originating from the ventricles, typically characterized by a rate of 20-40 beats per minute.

Front

What defines Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR)?

Back

A heart rhythm that is normal, with a rate of 60-100 beats per minute, regular rhythm, and each beat originating from the sinus node.

Front

What is 1st Degree AV Block?

Back

A type of heart block where there is a delay in the conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node, resulting in a prolonged PR interval.

Front

What is Atrial Flutter?

Back

A type of abnormal heart rhythm where the atria beat very quickly, often at rates of 240-340 beats per minute, leading to a characteristic 'sawtooth' pattern on EKG.

Front

What is Sinus Tachycardia?

Back

A heart rhythm characterized by a faster than normal heart rate, typically over 100 beats per minute, originating from the sinus node.

Front

What is 2nd Degree AV Block Type I (Wenckebach)?

Back

A type of heart block where there is progressive lengthening of the PR interval until a beat is dropped.

Front

What is 2nd Degree AV Block Type II?

Back

A type of heart block where some impulses from the atria are not conducted to the ventricles, characterized by a constant PR interval with dropped beats.

Front

What is Junctional Rhythm?

Back

A heart rhythm originating from the AV junction, typically characterized by a rate of 40-60 beats per minute and absent or inverted P waves.
