EKG shows regular rhythm, rate 60-100, normal P wave before each QRS, PR interval 0.12-0.20 seconds, QRS 0.06-0.10 seconds.
Show answerNormal sinus rhythm
Regular rhythm at rate below 60 bpm with normal P waves and PR intervals.
Show answerSinus bradycardia
Regular rhythm at rate above 100 bpm with normal P waves and PR intervals.
Show answerSinus tachycardia
Irregular rhythm with no visible P waves, irregular baseline, ventricular rate typically 100-150 bpm.
Show answerAtrial fibrillation
Regular ventricular rate with saw-tooth or flutter wave pattern between QRS complexes.
Show answerAtrial flutter
Sudden onset of rapid rhythm (150-250 bpm) with narrow QRS complexes and regular intervals.
Show answerParoxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)
Premature QRS complex with abnormal P wave preceding it, followed by normal sinus beat.
Show answerPremature atrial contraction (PAC)
Premature wide QRS (greater than 0.12 seconds) with no preceding P wave.
Show answerPremature ventricular contraction (PVC)
Rapid regular rhythm (150-250 bpm) with wide QRS complexes (greater than 0.12 seconds).
Show answerVentricular tachycardia
Completely chaotic baseline with no discernible P waves, QRS complexes, or T waves.
Show answerVentricular fibrillation
Rapid regular rhythm with visible abnormal P waves but normal QRS width.
Show answerAtrial tachycardia
Rhythm originates in AV junction; P wave buried within or immediately after QRS complex.
Show answerJunctional escape rhythm
PR interval consistently prolonged (greater than 0.20 seconds) but all P waves conduct to QRS.
Show answerFirst-degree AV block
Progressive lengthening of PR interval until one P wave fails to conduct, then pattern repeats.
Show answerSecond-degree AV block Type I (Wenckebach)
Constant PR interval with occasional P waves that fail to conduct to ventricle.
Show answerSecond-degree AV block Type II
