EKG Waves:
-P Wave-atrial depolarization
-QRS Complex-ventricular depolarization
-T Wave-ventricular repolarization
-U Wave-atrial repolarization (often absent)
-Upward deflection of the QRS complex is referred to as a positive deflection
-Downward deflection of the QRS complex is referred to as a negative deflection
EKG Measurement Normals
Normal PR Interval-0.12-0.2 seconds (3-5 small boxes)
Normal QRS Complex-less than 0.12 seconds (less than 3 small boxes)
Rhythm
Normal Sinus Rhythm=equal distance between similar waves (P, QRS, and T waves)
Four Varieties of Arrhythmias
1. Sinus Arrhythmia- the pacemaker still originate from SA node but the pacemaking activity is irregular varying with inspiration and exhalation
2. Wandering Atrial Pacemaker-the pacemaker wanders from focus to focus. The P waves are various shapes since the origin of the pacemaker varies from within the atria.
3. Atrial Fibrillation-multiple ectopic foci in the atria emit electrical impulses. Since no single impulse depolarizes both atria there is a rapid series of tiny waves
4. Escape Beat-the response to a pause in pacemaking activity. Premature beats are made by an ectopic focus discharging spontaneously causing a beat earlier than expected.
Premature Beats
1. Premature Atrial Contraction (PAC)-originates from an ectopic focus in the atrium that appears much earlier than normal P wave on an EKG
2. Premature Junctional Contraction (PJC)-originates in an ectopic focus in the AV junction which fires before the normal cycle. Usually inverted P wave occurring before, during, or immediately after the QRS complex
3. Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC)-originates from an ectopic focus, an occurs very early before a P wave.
With Premature beats there usually is a compensatory pause.
Tachycardias
1. Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia-a rapid sudden heart
