Answers


1.
3rd degree heart block











The rhythm is slightly irregular.   The atrial rate is 68/min and the ventricular rate of 36/min.  There are upright P waves that are not associated with a QRS complex and some of the P waves are buried with the T waves.   No ectopic beats are noted.   PR:  ---,  QRS:  .16 sec,  QT: .52 sec.


2.
Atrial fibrillation













The rhythm is irregular with a rate of 110/min.   There are not any P waves only fibrillatory waves.  a single supraventricular ectopic beat is present, the 5th complex. There is some ST depression and inversion of the T wave in the top lead (II).  PR:  ---,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .32 sec.


3.
Normal sinus rhythm with trigeminal PACs














The rhythm is irregular due to the PACs.   The rate is 90/min.  The P waves are upright and precede the QRS complexes.  The 3rd, 6th, and 9th complexes are trigeminal PACs and have a P wave that differs in shape from the sinus beats.  PR: .20 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .36 sec.


4.
1st degree heart block














The rhythm is regular and the rate is 62/min.  There are upright, uniform P waves that precede the QRS complexes.   The PR interval is prolonged.  PR:  .32 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .44 sec.


5.
Sinus bradycardia




The rhythm is regular with a rate of 46/min.  There are low voltage P waves that precede each QRS complex.  No ectopy is present.  PR:  .12 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .44 sec.
