Across
- 1. this segment represents the interval between depolarization and repolarization of the ventricles.
- 4. presence of a delta wave in the QRS complex is indicative of a syndrome caused by a congenital heart defect. (answer is abbreviated)
- 6. a rhythm where the heartbeat originates from the AV node or HIS bundle
- 8. normal p waves, every p wave followed by a QRS complex, and a pause/s of greater than 3 seconds without atrial activity would indicate a sinus ______.
- 10. this represents ventricular repolarization
- 11. an early beat with a missing or inverted P wave, a narrow QRS complex, and a compensatory pause would indicate the presence of a?
- 13. an early beat that is narrow and the p wave may be embedded in the t wave of the preceding beat is a?
- 15. junctional rhythms with a ventricular rate of 60-100 bpm, and idioventricular rhythms with a ventricular rate of >40-100 bpm would get the following prefix.
- 17. sawtooth waves are characteristic of which atrial rhythm?
- 18. a rapid, regular, narrow complex tachycardia with a rate of about 150 to 220 with p waves that may be difficult to see or indistinguishable.
- 19. an AV block with more p waves than QRS complexes, and the p waves can be plotted out evenly, is what degree?
- 20. a rhythm that has normal p waves preceding each QRS complex and a rate less than 60
- 21. this element of an ECG represents electrical depolarization of the atria.
- 22. the hearts lower chambers
- 23. a ______ ______ block is either a complete or partial interruption of the electrical pathways inside the wall of the heart and will be distinguished as either left or right.
- 25. a pvc occurring on every third beat would be indicative of what abnormal rhythm?
- 26. a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat
- 27. wandering atrial pacemaker has at least _____ different forms of p waves.
- 28. The PRI gets progressively longer with each complex until a beat is dropped.
- 30. a rapid uncoordinated rhythm where the heart doesn't pump blood to the rest of the body and requires immediate medical intervention is ventricular ____________.
- 32. commonly viewed as a flat line on the cardiac monitor
Down
- 1. a rhythm that is regular with a rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute
- 2. is a cardiac rhythm characterized by a rate of <50 beats per minute, absence of P waves and widening of the QRS complex
- 3. an extra heartbeat caused by a signal to the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) from an abnormal electrical focus
- 5. a non-shockable rhythm, where the heart stops because electrical activity in the heart is too weak to make the heart beat.
- 7. this interval represents the duration of ventricular electrical systole, which includes ventricular activation and recovery.
- 9. early _____________ , often presents as and can be confused with ST elevation. One distinguishing characteristic could be the presence of a J Point.
- 12. ______ degree block has a PRI greater than 0.20 seconds
- 14. this complex represents ventricular depolarization
- 16. an AV block where p waves and QRS complexes don't correlate with each other, is what degree?
- 21. an early beat that is wide with no p wave is indicative of?
- 24. a type of abnormal heart rhythm in which every other heartbeat is a premature or extra heartbeat.
- 26. abnormal presentation of this element of less that -30 or greater than 90 degrees would indicate what kind of deviation?
- 29. the hearts upper chambers
- 31. ST elevation in ____ or more contiguous leads is an indication of a possible MI.
