    This document is a medical PowerPoint presentation about ECG rhythm interpretation and arrhythmias. It covers normal sinus rhythm, 13 common rhythm disturbances, myocardial infarction detection on ECGs, and various types of arrhythmias including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, and ventricular fibrillation. For each arrhythmia, it discusses characteristics like rate and regularity, presence of P waves, and QRS width, and provides explanations of causes and mechanisms. The presentation encourages viewers to practice interpretation on example ECG rhythms and directs them to a quiz. It also advertises a website for additional free medical presentations.

    Interpretation? Atrial Fibrillation


    For more presentatio

    Atrial Fibrillation
    Deviation from NSR
    No organized atrial depolarization, so no
    normal P waves (impulses are not
    originating from the sinus node).
    Atrial activity is chaotic (resulting in an
    irregularly irregular rate).
    Common, affects 2-4%, up to 5-10% if >
    80 years old
    For more presentatio

    Atrial Fibrillation
    Etiology: Recent theories suggest that it
    is due to multiple re-entrant wavelets
    conducted between the R & L atria.
    Either way, impulses are formed in a
    totally unpredictable fashion. The AV
    node allows some of the impulses to
    pass through at variable intervals (so
    rhythm is irregularly irregular).

    Interpretation? Atrial Flutter


    For more presentatio

    Atrial Flutter
    Deviation from NSR
    No P waves. Instead flutter waves
    (note sawtooth pattern) are formed at
    a rate of 250 - 350 bpm.
    Only some impulses conduct through
    the AV node (usually every other
    impulse).
    For more presentatio

    Atrial Flutter
    Etiology: Reentrant pathway in the right
    atrium with every 2nd, 3rd or 4th
    impulse generating a QRS (others are
    blocked in the AV node as the node
    repolarizes).

    Interpretation? Paroxysmal Supraventricular


    more presentatio
    TachycardiaFor(PSVT)

    PSVT
    Deviation from NSR
    The heart rate suddenly speeds up,
    often triggered by a PAC (not seen
    here) and the P waves are lost.

    For more presentatio

    PSVT
    Etiology: There are several types of
    PSVT but all originate above the
    ventricles (therefore the QRS is narrow).
    Most common: abnormal conduction in
    the AV node (reentrant circuit looping in
    the AV node).

    Interpretation? Ventricular Tachycardia


    For more presentatio

    Ventricular Tachycardia
    Deviation from NSR
    Impulse is originating in the ventricles
    (no P waves, wide QRS).

    For more presentatio

    Ventricular Tachycardia
    Etiology: There is a re-entrant pathway
    looping in a ventricle (most common
    cause).
    Ventricular tachycardia can sometimes
    generate enough cardiac output to
    produce a pulse; at other times no pulse

    can be felt.

    Ventricular Fibrillation
    Deviation from NSR
    Completely abnormal.

    For more presentatio

    Ventricular Fibrillation
    Etiology: The ventricular cells are
    excitable and depolarizing randomly.
    Rapid drop in cardiac output and death
    occurs if not quickly reversed
