Mecahnisms of cardiac arrythmias
abnormal impulse
formation
abnormal impulse
conduction
Anatomy of cardiac arrythmias
Ventricular arrythmias
Supra-ventricular arrythmias
Two words that mean an abnormal increase in impulses from SAN, AVN ad PF
Enhanced automaticity
Abnormal automaticity in tissues that do not normally show it
Triggered activity
An impulse re-exites a part of the heart through which it already passed
Re-entry
Partial conduction block
SA node disease, beta blockers and hypothyroidism can cause this
Sinus bradycardia
What are symptoms of
bradycardia
?
D
izzyness
D
yspnea
F
atigue
Pregnancy, atropine, thyroidtoxicosis can cause this
Sinus
tachy
cardia
A beat which occurs during diastole of the previous beat
Premature beat
atrial
ventricular
Ventricular premature beat is followed by this
Fully comensatory pause
Sudden onset and termination of heart rates over 200 beats/min
SVT
Why does VT cause weakness, dizzyness, and fainting?
not enough blood is pumped to body
This is another name for atria beating 300 times per minute
Atrial flutter
Atria that beat 350 times per minute in an irregular way
atrial fibrillation
Multiple ectopic foci can cause this
atrial / ventricular fibrillation
A guy has ventricular fibrillation. What will his pulse feel like?
No pulse bud
This kind of heart block makes the AVN delay longer
1st degree
This kind of heart block stops some impulses from passing through the AV node
2nd degree
This kind of heart block stops
all
impulses from passing through AV node
3rd degree
3 or more beats of ventricular origin in row at a rate greater than 100 beats/min
Ventricular tachycardia
Sinus Rhythm
Sinus Bradycardia
Ventricular premature beat
Premature Atrial beats
