BAMC Basic Telemetry Testing Questions And Answers Sinus arrhythmia A sinus rhythm in which the rate varies with respiration causing an irregular rhythm Sinus arrest/pause Basic rhythm regular; length of pause is not a multiple Causes: increased vagal tone, myocarditis, MI, digitalis toxicity Premature atrial contractions P wave morphology altered; irregular rhythm Causes: can occur in a normal heart, CHF, ischemia, COPD Non-conducting PACs P wave without a QRS; different morphology

BAMC Basic Telemetry Testing Questions And Answers Causes of sinus bradycardia Vagal stimulation, sleep apnea, hyperkalemia, increased ICP, hypothermia, SA node damage, drugs Sinus arrhythmia A sinus rhythm in which the rate varies with respiration causing an irregular rhythm Sinus arrest/pause Basic rhythm regular; length of pause is not a multiple Causes: increased vagal tone, myocarditis, MI, digitalis toxicity Premature atrial contractions P wave morphology altered; irregular rhy...

QRS complex - correct answer ventricular depolarization (0.08-0.12) PR interval - correct answer atrial depolarization (0.12-0.20) T wave - correct answer ventricular repolarization ST segment - correct answer end of ventricular depolarization and beginning of ventricular repolarization Elevated = injury ...
