Module 6 Presentation

Sinus Mechanisms

Sinus Rhythms

Arrhythmias

ECGs

Palpitations

Dizziness

Chest pain

Fatigue

Increased vagal tone

Medications

Heart block

Dehydration

Regular rhythm

Variable heart rate

Wide QRS complex

Absent P waves

To initiate the heartbeat

To delay the electrical signal

To conduct signals to the ventricles

To regulate blood pressure

Positive P wave before each QRS complex

Irregular PR interval

P waves that look different

Atrial and ventricular rhythm are irregular

Sinus rhythm

Atrial fibrillation

Ventricular tachycardia

Bradycardia

A heart rate less than 60 beats per minute

A heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute

A normal heart rate between 60-100 beats per minute

A heart rate that varies with breathing

Disease of the SA node

Hypothermia

Obstructive sleep apnea

Post heart transplant

Bradycardia

Atrial Fibrillation

Sinus Tachycardia

Ventricular Tachycardia

A condition where the heart rate is slower than normal

A condition where the heart rate is faster than normal

A condition that only occurs in children

A condition that affects the heart's structure

Regular rhythm

Irregular rhythm

Wide QRS complexes

Shortened PR interval

A condition with no apparent physiologic cause

A heart rate that is always below 100 beats/min

A diagnosis made without ruling out other causes

A condition that only occurs during exercise

A type of heart rhythm that is irregular

A condition where the heart beats too fast

A condition where the heart beats too slow

A normal heart rhythm

Regular rhythm

Irregular rhythm

P waves present

QRS complex absent
