Answers
1. a. NSR with 4 beat run of VT and a couplet
2. b. Sinus bradycardia with sinus arrest and a ventricular escape beat
3. c. Normal sinus rhythm with short run of SVT
4. a. 2nd degree heart block with blocked PAC. Notice the change in the height of the T wave on the 1st, 4th, and 7th complexes. This suggests that there are early nonconducted P waves that are fused with the T waves. The PR interval gets progressively longer over successive beats as you would expect with a type I block but there is not a dropped beat that is characteristic of a Wenckebach rhythm. I suspect that the nonconducted PACs cause a compensatory pause in the rhythm which allows the SA node to reset itself before the cycle resumes.
5. c. Ventricular paced with demand atrial pacing. An atrial pacer spike follows the first and sixth complexes. The fifth complex looks like a fusion complex between a paced beat and a PVC. There is 100% ventricular pacing but there is not an atrial pacer spike for all the QRS complexes so that is the one that is in the demand mode.
