if the R-R intervals are all equal the rhythm is
regular
if the R-R intervals are not equal the rhythm is
irregular
p waves shows what kind of contraction
atrial contraction
atrial contraction is caused by the start of the impulse of the
SA Node
to get atrial contraction you have to have
atrial depolarization
what causes depolarization
switching of electrodes (Na+ and K+) pumps
(which carried the wave of current -- then causing depolarization which causes contraction
QRS complex shows what type of contraction
ventricular contraction or ventricular depolarization
t-waves shows what type of repolarization?
ventricular repolarization or relaxation
impulse starts at the SA node, which is created by
automaticity (pacemaker)
impule travels through the inner nodule pathways to the
AV node
then goes through the
bundle of his
into bundle branches, to the
perkinjie fibers
list all thats in the ATRIA
SA node -- inner nodule pathways -- AW node -- bundle of his
list all thats in the VENTRICLES
bundle branches and perkinjie fibers
normal ranges of a PR interval
.12 - .20 seconds
the PR intervals represents
SA node -- inner nodule pathways -- AV node -- through the end of the bundle of his
any problem at the PR interval shows what kind of problem
atrial problem
normal ranges of a QRS complex
.04 - .11 seconds
t-waves occurs in the
bundle branches and perkinjie fibers
if all p waves look identical and all are up right like they are suppose to be then they are most likely called
sinus = meaning it came from the SA node = sinoatrial node
if p waves dont look identicals then they are called
ectopic - which means anything else
