Cardiac Rhythms - ECG Readings - Free download as Word Doc (.doc / .docx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. This document provides an overview of various cardiac rhythms and arrhythmias including their defining characteristics such as rate, rhythm, P wave morphology, and QRS complex. It discusses normal sinus rhythm and conditions like sinus bradycardia and tachycardia. It also covers abnormal rhythms including various types of heart block, atrial and ventricular arrhythmias, junctional rhythms, and cardiac arrest. For each rhythm, the key electrical features on an EKG or ECG strip are defined.
EKG Examples - Free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. This document provides a summary of common cardiac rhythms seen on electrocardiograms (ECGs) including normal sinus rhythm, sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, premature atrial contractions, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, premature junctional contractions, junctional escape rhythm, junctional tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, and premature ventricular complexes. For each rhythm, it lists typical heart rates, wave characteristics, examples of potential causes, and other distinguishing electrocardiographic features.

Electrical activity in the heart exhibits 24-hour rhythmicity, and potentially fatal arrhythmias are more likely to occur at specific times of day. Here, we demonstrate that circadian clocks within the brain and heart set daily rhythms in sinoatrial (SA) and atrioventricular (AV) node activity, and impose a time-of–day dependent susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmia. Critically, the balance of circadian inputs from the autonomic nervous system and cardiomyocyte clock to the SA and AV nodes differ, and this renders the cardiac conduction system sensitive to decoupling during abrupt shifts in behavioural routine and sleep-wake timing. Our findings reveal a functional segregation of circadian control across the heart’s conduction system and inherent susceptibility to arrhythmia. Cardiac function fluctuates greatly across the day and night, but this is not simply a consequence of our changing behaviour. The authors highlight the role of the body’s circadian clock in regulating the heart electrical activity, including a time-of-day dependent susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmias.
ECG Interpretation Cheat Sheet - Free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. The document provides an overview of electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation, outlining various components of the ECG tracing and their clinical significance. It describes how to assess rhythm, rate, cardiac axis, P waves, QRS complex, ST segment, T waves, and U waves. Abnormal findings are associated with conditions like myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, conduction blocks, cardiomyopathies, and electrolyte imbalances.

Cardiac Dysrhythmias - Free download as Word Doc (.doc / .docx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or view presentation slides online. Cardiac dysrhythmias with EKG tracings and methods of treatment. All information was obtained from the Comprehensive Review for NCLEX-RN by Mary Ann Hogan
ACLS Test Bank - Free download as Word Doc (.doc / .docx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. This document provides guidance on various protocols and procedures for cardiac arrest management and other emergency situations. It addresses actions for no pulse/no breathing, obtaining an ECG for chest pain, epinephrine administration route, actions when an AED does not analyze a rhythm, priority after 2 minutes of CPR, effective chest compression techniques, signs of effective CPR, terminating resuscitation, defibrillation techniques, appropriate ventilation rates, medications for bradycardia and tachycardia, stroke assessment and treatment, and post-cardiac arrest care including therapeutic hypothermia. The document emphasizes high-quality CPR, rapid defibrillation, and treatment of reversible causes.

This heart rhythm disorder causes slow, paused or irregular heartbeats. Learn the symptoms and how it's treated.
You and your family have many questions about coping with the day-to-day issues of A-Fib. Read answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs).
This ECG Interpretation course will show how to identify normal versus abnormal cardiac anatomy, cardiac cycle and electrical conduction through the heart.
Inherent Rate: 60-100 bpmP wave is inverted before of after QRS and can also be hidden or burried in the QRS. T wave follows QRS.
The heart is undoubtedly one of the critical organs in the human body, and its health should not be left to chance. Utilization of expert services for ECG analysis and Holter Monitoring Analysis will ensure an accurate diagnosis, timely interventions, and better outcomes for patients.
Ventricular arrhythmias like VTACH and VFIB are deadly, and nurses need to know how to recognize them, as well as how to treat them.
Cardiac Drugs - Free download as Excel Spreadsheet (.xls / .xlsx), PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. This document provides information on various classifications of cardiac medications, including their mechanisms of action, common drug names, indications for use, side effects, and nursing management considerations. It also summarizes different cardiac dysrhythmias including their EKG characteristics and common causative agents.
