Atrial escape beat (ectopic - late beat)

What occurs when the heart stops beating for some reason so something else kicks in to pace?

New cards
10

normal variant, enhance automaticity, COPD, HF, atrial insult, acute respiratory failure, CAD, myocardial irritation, electrolyte imbalance, pain, anxiety, fatigue, fever, hypoxia, medications that prolong refractory of SA node (procainamide, quinidine, digoxin, EtOH, caffeine, nicotine)

What may cause a PAC?

New cards
11

AVNRT

What rhythm is due to the formation of a reentry circuit in the AV node and perinodal Atrial tissue?

New cards
12

atrial flutter

What rhythm is due to a “macro-re-entrant” atrial rhythm and is caused by anything that leads the heart to have irration?

New cards
13

A. fib

New cards
27

What occurs in V tach when one atrial depolarization gets through and we get one good wave?

New cards
28

Monomorphic V tach

What rhythm is the result of ONE structural abnormality that supports a reentry circuit
