  2. 2. Life threatening dysrhythmia in which the ventricles quiver

  5. 6. A heartrate less than 60 beats per minute
  6. 11. The process of conveying or transmitting types of energy, such as electrical impulses
  7. 13. Life threatening dysrhythmia where the ventricles initiate the beat, rather than the SA Node
