  2. Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolff–Parkinson–White...

    The short PR interval and slurring of the QRS complex are reflective of the impulse making it to the ventricles early (via the accessory pathway) without the usual delay experienced in the AV node. [citation needed] If a person with WPW experiences episodes of atrial fibrillation, the ECG shows a rapid polymorphic wide-complex tachycardia ...

  3. PR interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PR_interval

    A short PR interval (of less than 120ms) may be associated with a Pre-excitation syndromes such as Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome or Lown–Ganong–Levine syndrome, and also junctional arrhythmia like atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia or junctional rhythm. A variable PR interval may indicate other types of heart block. [citation needed]

  4. Lown–Ganong–Levine syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lown–Ganong–Levine...

    Lown–Ganong–Levine syndrome (LGL) is a pre-excitation syndrome of the heart. Those with LGL syndrome have episodes of abnormal heart racing with a short PR interval and normal QRS complexes seen on their electrocardiogram when in a normal sinus rhythm.

  5. Sinus tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_tachycardia

    Sinus tachycardia is a normal response to physical exercise or other stress, when the heart rate increases to meet the body's higher demand for energy and oxygen, but sinus tachycardia can also be caused by a health problem. [4] An elite athlete's heart recorded during a maximum effort workout maintaining over 180 bpm for 10 minutes.

  6. Sinus rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_rhythm

    A sinus rhythm is any cardiac rhythm in which depolarisation of the cardiac muscle begins at the sinus node. [1] It is necessary, but not sufficient, for normal electrical activity within the heart. [2] On the electrocardiogram (ECG), a sinus rhythm is characterised by the presence of P waves that are normal in morphology. [2]

  7. Tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia

    Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a diagnosis of exclusion, [16] a rare but benign type of cardiac arrhythmia that may be caused by a structural abnormality in the sinus node. It can occur in seemingly healthy individuals with no history of cardiovascular disease.

  8. Rhythm interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_interpretation

    Sinus tachycardia is another regular rhythm however the ventricular rate is quicker, between 100 - 160 bpm, with a normal PR interval and normal QRS complex. Sinus arrhythmia is an irregular rhythm with a ventricular rate of 60 - 100 normally, however a slow rhythm can be distinguished when the rate is less than 60, the PR interval and QRS ...

  9. Pre-excitation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-excitation_syndrome

    Pre-excitation syndrome is a heart condition in which part of the cardiac ventricles are activated too early. [1] Pre-excitation is caused by an abnormal electrical connection or accessory pathway between or within the cardiac chambers.
