Answers


1.
Ventricular bigeminy









The rhythm is irregular with some ventricular ectopy.   The heart rate is 90/min.  The P waves are positive and are paired with a QRS complex.  There are PVCs every other beat.     Notice the 3rd and 4th PVCs have an upright P wave.  Theses P waves suggest perhaps that the PVCs may be some kind of aberrant premature atrial contraction.  PR:  .12 sec.  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .36 sec.


2.
1st degree block with unifocal PVCs







The rhythm is irregular with a rate of 84/min.  There are upright P waves that precede the QRS complexes.   The PR interval is prolonged.   A unifocal PVC is seen every fourth beat, quadrigeminy.   A compensatory pause follows each PVC.   PR:  .24 sec,  QRS:  .12 sec,  QT:  .38 sec.


3.
Sinus tachycardia with unifocal PVCs









The rhythm is irregular due to the PVCs.   The ventricular rate is 102/min.  The P waves are uniform and upright.    There are unifocal PVCs in a hexageminal pattern every 6th beat.   A pause follows each PVC.   PR:  .12 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .32 sec.


4.
Sinus tachycardia with unifocal PVCs









The rhythm is irregular with frequent PVCs.   The rate is 108/min.   P waves are present and have a corresponding QRS complex.  Unifocal PVCs occur every fifth beat.   A compensatory pause follows each PVC.  PR:  .12 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .32 sec.


5.
Ventricular trigeminy









The heart rhythm is irregular with a rate of 102/min.  The P waves precede the QRS complexes and are upright.   Unifocal premature ventricular beats are seen every third beat.  PR:  .16 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .40 sec.
