Answers


1.
Sinus tachycardia












The rhythm is regular.   The rate is 125/minute.  There is one P wave for every QRS complex. The QRS complex is narrow.   No ectopic beats are noted.   PR:  .16 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec.  QT:  .30 sec. Interpretation:  Sinus tachycardia

2.
Accelerated junctional rhythm













The rhythm is regular with a rate of 75/min.   The P waves are absent.  However, there appears to be some retrograde P waves seen on ST segment.  The QRS complex shows some conduction delay.   No ectopic beats are noted.  PR:  ---,  QRS:  .10 sec.  QT:  .48 sec.   Interpretation: Accelerated junctional rhythm.

3.
Atrial fibrillation 












The rhythm is irregular with a rate of 140/min.  I do not see any P waves.  There appears to be some fibrillatory activity between the QRS complexes.  The QRS complex is narrow.  However, there is 7 mm ST segment elevation present.  PR:  ---,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .32 sec. Interpretation: Atrial fibrillation

4.
Monomorphic ventricular tachycardia














The rhythm is regular.   The rate is 136/min.   No P waves are seen.  The QRS is wide and uniform.  PR:  ---,  QRS:  .12 sec,  QT:  .44 sec.  Interpretation:  Ventricular tachycardia

5.
Atrial flutter with variable ventricular response








The rhythm is irregular with a heart rate of 80.   Flutter waves are seen.  There is variable ventricular response.  The 6th complex is wider and may be a fusion complex.  PR:  ---,  QRS:  .08 sec.  QT:  .36 sec.   Interpretation:  Atrial flutter with variable ventricular response.
