  2. Idioventricular rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idioventricular_rhythm

    An idioventricular rhythm is a cardiac rhythm characterized by a rate of <50 beats per minute (bpm), absence of conducted P waves and widening of the QRS complex. [1] In cases where the heart rate is between 50 and 110 bpm, it is known as accelerated idioventricular rhythm and ventricular tachycardia if the rate exceeds 120 bpm.

  3. Junctional rhythm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_rhythm

    The most obvious abnormal finding will be abnormal P waves. One of three options can occur: [12] 1. There are no P waves. This is because of either failure of retrograde flow to the atria or the P wave is hidden in the QRS. If the P wave is hidden that implies the atria depolarize at the same time as the ventricles. 2.

  4. Rhythm interpretation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhythm_interpretation

    Ventricular tachycardia is a regular rhythm with a rate of 140-250 bpm, there are no P waves and the main feature is a wide QRS complex (0.12 and greater) Ventricular fibrillation has no p waves or QRS complexes, there are only wavy irregular deflections throughout the heart rhythm, at this point the heart would have a rate of 0 and be ...

  5. P wave (electrocardiography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P_wave_(electrocardiography)

    The P wave is a summation wave generated by the depolarization front as it transits the atria. Normally the right atrium depolarizes slightly earlier than left atrium since the depolarization wave originates in the sinoatrial node, in the high right atrium and then travels to and through the left atrium.

  6. Junctional tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junctional_tachycardia

    Junctional tachycardia is a form of supraventricular tachycardia characterized by involvement of the AV node. [1] It can be contrasted to atrial tachycardia . It is a tachycardia associated with the generation of impulses in a focus in the region of the atrioventricular node due to an A-V disassociation. [ 2 ]

  7. Tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia

    Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate. [1] In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. [1] Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart).

  8. Supraventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supraventricular_tachycardia

    Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is a rare tachycardia caused by increased automaticity of the AV node itself initiating frequent heartbeats. On the ECG, junctional tachycardia often presents with abnormal morphology P-waves that may fall anywhere in relation to a regular, narrow QRS complex. It is often due to drug toxicity. [22]

  9. Cardiac arrest - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_arrest

    The electrocardiogram (ECG) generally shows irregular QRS complexes without P-waves. [98] By contrast, the ECG for ventricular tachycardia will generally show a wide complex QRS with more than 100 beats occurring per minute. [99]
