Cardiac Rhythms and Heart Rates

This set of vocabulary flashcards covers various cardiac rhythms and their associated heart rates as detailed in the lecture notes.

Sinus Rhythm

A normal heart rhythm originated from the sinus node.

Sinus Bradycardia

A sinus rhythm with a heart rate of $54\,bpm$.

Sinus Tachycardia

A sinus rhythm with a heart rate of $138\,bpm$.

Sinus Arrhythmia

An irregular sinus rhythm with a heart rate of $78\,bpm$.

Sinus Exit Block

A condition characterized by a heart rate of $48\,bpm$ where the sinus impulse is blocked from reaching the atria.

Sinus Arrest

A failure of the sinus node to initiate an impulse, recorded at a heart rate of $54\,bpm$.

NSR with PAC

Normal Sinus Rhythm with Premature Atrial Contractions.

SVT

Supraventricular Tachycardia, recorded with a heart rate of $180\,bpm$.

Atrial Fibrillation

A common type of supraventricular tachyarrhythmia.

Atrial Flutter

A type of rhythm characterized by an abnormal atrial circuit causing a rapid flutter.

Paced Atrial

A heart rhythm where the atria are being stimulated by an artificial pacemaker.

NSR with 1° AVB

Normal Sinus Rhythm with First-degree Atrioventricular Block.

2° AVB Type I

Second-degree Atrioventricular Block Type I (Wenckebach).

2° AVB Type II

Second-degree Atrioventricular Block Type II (Mobitz II).

2° AVB 2:1

Second-degree Atrioventricular Block with a 2 to 1 conduction ratio.

3° AV Block

Third-degree Atrioventricular Block (Complete Heart Block).

NSR with PJC

Normal Sinus Rhythm with Premature Junctional Contractions at a heart rate of $84\,bpm$.

Junctional Rhythm

A heart rhythm originating from the atrioventricular junction with a heart rate of $48\,bpm$.

Accel Junctional

Accelerated Junctional rhythm with a heart rate of $82\,bpm$.

Junctional Tachy

Junctional Tachycardia characterized by a heart rate of $186\,bpm$.

Wandering Pacemaker

A rhythm where the pacemaker site shifts between the SA node, atria, and/or AV node.

NSR with PVC

Normal Sinus Rhythm with Premature Ventricular Contractions at a heart rate of $68\,bpm$.

Idioventricular

A ventricular rhythm with an inherent heart rate of $36\,bpm$.

Accelerated IVR

Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm with a heart rate of $84\,bpm$.

VTach

Ventricular Tachycardia.

VFib

Ventricular Fibrillation with a heart rate of $0\,bpm$.

Paced Ventricular

A heart rhythm where the ventricles are being stimulated by an artificial pacemaker at a rate of $80\,bpm$.
