Across
  1. 3. A sinus rhythm with a heart stoppage of at least 4 seconds.
  2. 6. A fast abnormal heart rhythm with a rate of 160 to 240 in which the electrical impulse originates in atrial tissue.
  3. 7. A rhythm where the impulse begins in the AV node instead of the SA node. P waves can be nonexistent, retrograde, after the “QRS”, inverted, appear upside down in the EKG tracing.
  4. 10. Degree Type 2, This block has dropped QRS complexes with the PR interval unchanged.
  5. 12. The absence of any ventricular activity for more than a few seconds. There may be atrial activity as evidenced by P waves.
  6. 13. An irregular sinus rhythm caused by respiration.
  7. 15. A fast heart rhythm that starts in the lower part of the heart causing regular and wide QRS complexes.
  8. 16. A rhythm with a lowered rate of 59 or less.
  9. 18. This block is a complete disassociation between the atria and ventricles in the heart.
  10. 19. A normal rhythm that contains 3 different P waves.
  11. 21. A wide QRS, greater than .11.
  12. 22. A rhythm with a rate of 60-100 where the impulse begins in the AV node instead of the SA node.
  13. 24. A rhythm with a wide QRS and a slow accelerated rate of 40-60 bpm.
  14. 25. Your heart's atria beat too quickly. This causes the heart to beat in a fast, regular rhythm.
  15. 27. A rhythm with an elevated rate of 100 or greater.
  16. 28. Type of polymorphic VTACH with flipping complexes and a distinct fusion beat between them.
Down
  1. 1. Characterized by the presence of correctly oriented P waves for every QRS in an EKG reading.
  2. 2. Degree, A block with a long PR interval of .21 and greater.
  3. 4. An abnormally fast heart rhythm of 150 or greater arising from improper electrical activity in the upper part of the heart.
  4. 5. A rhythm with a rate of greater than 100 where the impulse begins in the AV node instead of the SA node.
  5. 8. A sinus rhythm with a stoppage of the heart for 2 seconds or less.
  6. 9. Chaotic activity noted in the upper part of the heart resulting in an irregular rhythm and no visible P waves.
  7. 11. The lower chambers quiver and the heart can't pump any blood, causing cardiac arrest.
  8. 14. A rhythm that contains 3 different P waves, but has a rate of 100+.
  9. 17. A block described as: “Longer, longer, Drop”.
  10. 20. A rhythm with a wide QRS and a slow rate of 20-40 bpm.
  11. 23. Also known as a “flat line”, this rhythm has no rate or complexes.
  12. 26. Rhythm, Is easily identified by the presence of a spike immediately preceding the P wave and/or the QRS complex.
