Definition of Arrhythmias
Regular heart rates.
Irregular heart rates.

The Word "Sinus" Refers To The _____
Atrium
Ventricle
Aorta
Septum
What is Depolarization?
A process that occurs when the heart contracts, resulting in a heartbeat.
A phase of the cardiac cycle where the heart relaxes.
A type of electrical signal that only occurs in the brain.
A condition where the heart is unable to contract.
Does Atrial Flutter Have T Waves?
No, T waves are absent in Atrial Flutter.
Yes, but they are not visible due to the chaotic saw tooth effect.
Yes, T waves are prominent and easily identifiable.
Yes, but they are always inverted.
What is the Fixed Sequence Of Numbers Used To Calculate The Heart Rate Using The 300 Method?

300, 200, 100, 50, 40
300, 150, 90, 75, 60
What Do The Bundle Branches Do?
They spread the electrical signal down to the Purkinje fibers.
They regulate blood flow in the heart.
They produce hormones for heart function.
They connect the atria and ventricles.
True or False: Atrial Flutter and Atrial Fib are Treated With An AED?
True; they are treated with an AED.
False; they are usually treated with meds.
True; they require immediate defibrillation.
False; they are treated with surgery.
What is Bigeminy?
A pattern of Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) where every second complex on an ECG is a PVC.
A type of arrhythmia characterized by a rapid heartbeat.
A condition where the heart beats irregularly due to stress.
A heart condition that involves the narrowing of the arteries.
