Dysrhythmias

3. A congenital heart defect caused by a extra pathway for signals to travel between the heart's upper and lower chambers, leading to a fast heartbeat
4. medication that reduce heart rate and oxygen demand
7. A symptom that can be felt with dysrhythmias when your heart feels like it is fluttering or skipping a beat
11. Records the electrical signals in the heart to determine the current heart rhythm
12. occurs with many dysrhythmias due to the heart not contracting as normal leading to a drop in cardiac output
13. IV medication used to treat stable supraventricular tachycardia

1. A condition where the atria and ventricles of the heart beat independently of each other
2. Irregular heartbeat originating in the ventricles, can appear as premature beats on ECG
5. When a device is used to deliver a shock to your heart to restore normal rhythm such as unstable afib RVR
6. Irregular heart rate with an absence of P waves on EKG
8. Area of the heart that generates a normal heart rhythm
9. A disturbance of heart rhythm
10. Occurs when a rhythm is present on the EKG but no pulse is palpable
11. The formation of these due to irregularity of the heart contracting causes blood to pool in the heart and increases risk of strokes
