EKG - Dysrhythmias

Normal EKG tracing, but the heart rate is less than 60/min

• Sinus Tachycardia

• Sinus Dysrhythmia

• Sinus Bradycardia

• Sinus Arrest

A break in the normal EKG pattern, SA node fails to fire, longer than 6 seconds

• Sinus Arrest

• Atrial Flutter

• Sinus Bradycardia

• Junctional Escape Rhythm

no organized contraction of the atria, no P waves only normal QRS; blood clot formation (Stroke)

• Atrial Fibrillation

• Ventricular Fibrillation

• SVT or Narrow Complex Tachycardia

• Atrial Flutter

AV Junction is acting as the backup pacemaker. Absent or inverted P waves, Heart Rate does not exceed 60/min.

• Junctional Tachycardia

• Premature Junctional Complex (PJC)

• Accelerated Junctional Rhythm

• Junctional Escape Rhythm

Delay in conduction from SA to AV node PR interval is longer than 0.02 second

• First Degree AV Block

• Third Degree AV Block

• Second Degree AV Block II

• Second Degree AV Block I

Normal EKG tracing, but the heart rate is greater than 100/min. Normal during exercise.

• Sinus Bradycardia

• Sinus Dysrhythmia

• Sinus Tachycardia

• Sinus Arrest

P waves is present with no QRS complex or T wave. Complete heart block

• First Degree AV Block

• Second Degree AV Block II

• Third Degree AV Block

• Second Degree AV Block I

Three or more P waves greater than 100/min.

• Junctional Tachycardia

• Ventricular Dysrhythmia

• Sinus Dysrhythmia

• Ventricular Tachycardia

P wave could occur before, after, or be buried within the QRS complex causing irregularity in the rhythm

• Third Degree AV Block

• Premature Junctional Complex (PJC)

• Junctional Tachycardia

• Ventricular Fibrillation

Ventricles are not contracting but quivering, no cardiac output; not compatible with life

• Ventricular Dysrhythmia

• Accelerated Junctional Rhythm

• Ventricular Fibrillation

• Sinus Dysrhythmia
