Updated Basic Dysrhythmia Cardiac Rhythms & Pictures Review, Exams of Cardiology

A comprehensive review of various cardiac rhythms, including sinus rhythm, sinus bradycardia, sinus tachycardia, sinus arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrioventricular blocks, bundle branch blocks, bigeminy, trigeminy, premature atrial contractions, premature junctional contractions, junctional rhythm, junctional tachycardia, accelerated junctional, wandering atrial pacemaker, premature ventricular complexes, idioventricular rhythm, accelerated idioventricular rhythm, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, paced ventricular, torsades de pointes, and ventricular standstill. Each rhythm is described in detail, including its characteristics, such as heart rate, presence or absence of p-waves, pr interval, and qrs duration. A valuable resource for healthcare professionals, particularly those working in the field of cardiology, as it provides a comprehensive understanding of various cardiac rhythms and their associated features.

  1. Sinus Rhythm 60-100bpm Present P- wave PRI 0.12-0.20 seconds QRS 0.12> seconds
  2. Sinus Bradycardia 40-60bpm Present P-wave PRI 0.12-0.20 seconds QRS 0.12> seconds
  3. Sinus Tachycardia 100-160bpm Present P-wave PRI 0.12-0.20 seconds QRS 0.12> seconds
  4. Sinus arrhythmia Irregular Normal or slow Present P-Wave PRI 0.12-0.20 seconds QRS 0.12> seconds
  5. Sinus Arrest/Exit block
  6. Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)

Wavy P-wave PRI not measureable QRS 0.12> seconds

  1. Atrial Flutter Regular or Irregular 250-400 (depending on conduction) "Saw-tooth" P- waves PRI not measureable QRS 0.12> seconds
  2. Paced Atrial "Spike" before P-wave
  3. 1° AVB Rate determined by rhythm 1 P-wave to each QRS PRI prolonged >0.20 seconds QRS 0.10>
  4. 2° AVB Type I (Wenke- bach) "Long, Long, Longer, Dropped... then you have a Wenkebach" Persistent P-waves until not included PRI progressively lengthen QRS 0.10>
  5. 2° AVB Type II (Mobitz) Irregular ventricular P-wave before each QRS until no

QRS PRI normal until no QRS QRS 0.10>

QRS narrow

  1. Junctional Rhythm (Junctional Escape Rhythm)
  2. Junctional Tachycar- dia
  3. Accelerated Junction- al
  4. Wandering Atrial Pacemaker
  5. Premature Ventricular Complex (PVC)
  6. Idioventricular Rhythm 40-60bpm Absent P-wave PRI not measureable QRS 0.12> seconds

    100bpm Inverted/Absent P- wave PRI not measureable QRS <0. 60-100bpm Inverted/Absent P- wave PRI not measureable QRS 0.12> seconds Occasional "spike" for P-wave Usually regular

    Rate determined by rhythm Absent P-wave PRI not measureable QRS premature and wide Regular

PRI N/A

QRS wide >0.

  1. Accelerated Idioven- tricular Rhythm
  2. Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
  3. Ventricular tachycar- dia (V-tach)
  4. Ventricular fibrillation (V-fib) Regular 40-100bpm Absent P-wave PRI N/A QRS >0.12 wide & bizarre Regular

    150bpm Not discernible P-

    wave PRI can't measure QRS narrow Regular 140-250bpm No P-wave PRI N/A QRS wide No rhythm No P- wave PRI N/A QRS absent
  1. Paced Ventricular "Spike" after P-wave to fire ventricular contraction
