Answers

1.
Sinus bradycardia with 1st degree block












The rhythm is regular with a rate of 58/min.  The P waves are uniform, upright, and paired with a QRS complex.  The PR interval is prolonged.  The QRS complex is narrow.  No ectopic beats are noted.  PR:  .40 sec,  QRS;  .08 sec.  QT:  .40 sec.  Interpretation:  Sinus bradycardia with 1st degree block

2.
Demand ventricular pacing












The rhythm is irregular.  The heart rate is 80/min.  P waves are not seen.  In the first five complexes a ventricular pacer spike precedes the QRS complexes.  The 6th and 7th complex represent the patient's underlying heart rhythm.  PR:  ---,  QRS:  .16 sec,  QT:  .44 sec. Interpretation:  Demand ventricular pacing.

3.
Normal sinus rhythm with trigeminal PVCs












The rhythm is irregular with a heart rate of 90/min.  The P waves are upright and associated with a QRS complex.  There are unifocal PVCs in a trigeminal pattern.  PR:  .16 sec,  QRS:  .10 sec,  QT:  .34 sec.   Interpretation:  Normal sinus rhythm with trigeminal PVCs

4.
Sinus arrhythmia












The rhythm is irregular.   The rate is 60/min.   The P waves are uniform and are associated with a QRS complex.  The R-R interval between the 1st and 2nd complex is 1.12 sec and the R-R interval between the 3rd and 4th complex is .88 sec.   The QRS complexes are narrow.  No ectopic beats are noted.  PR:  .20 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec.  QT:  .40 sec.  Interpretation:  Sinus arrhythmia

5.
Supraventricular tachycardia








The rhythm is regular with a rate of 180/min.   The P waves are not seen.  The QRS complex is narrow.  No ectopic beats are seen.  PR:  ---,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .28 sec.  Interpretation: Supraventricular tachycardia
