Answers

1. The answer is: b. Normal sinus rhythm. The rhythm is regular.  The heart rate is 78.  There are P waves before each QRS complex.  The P waves are biphasic suggesting biatrial enlargement.  The QRS complexes are narrow.  No ectopic beats are noted.  PR. 10 sec, QRS: .08 sec, QT: .28 sec

2. The answer is: d. Sinus tachycardia.  The rhythm is regular with a rate of 136 bpm.  The P waves are uniform and upright.  The QRS complexes are narrow. No ectopic beats are seen.  PR: .12 sec, QRS: .08 sec, QT: .28 sec.

3. The answer is:  e. Sinus arrest or pause.  The rhythm is irregular.  The rate is 30 bpm.  The P waves are small but are uniform and precede each QRS complex.  There is a long is a 2.8 sec pause that follows the first complex.  After the pause sinus rhythm resumes. The QRS complexes are narrow.  No ectopic beats are seen. PR: .16 sec, QRS: .08 sec, QT: .48 sec.

4. The answer is: a. Sinus arrhythmia. The rhythm is irregular and the heart rate is 70 bpm.  With the exception of the first P waves, all the P waves look uniform and are paired up with a QRS complex. The QRS complexes are narrow.  No ectopic beats are seen.  PR: .12 sec, QRS: .08 sec, QT: .40 sec.


5. The answer is: c. Sinus bradycardia.  The rhythm is regular.  The heart rate is extremely slow at 30 bpm. The P waves axis are positive.  The P waves are associated with a QRS complex.  The QRS complexes are wide.  No ectopic beats are seen.  PR: .20 sec, QRS: .16 sec, QT: .44 sec.

6. The answer is: b. Normal sinus rhythm.  The rhythm is regular.  The rate is 93 bpm.  There are small upright P waves that are paired with a QRS complex.  The QRS complexes are wide.  A deep Q wave is seen with the QRS complexes.  This may represent an old or recent infarct.  T wave inversion is seen, this represents ischemia. No ectopic beats are seen. PR: .12 sec, QRS: .12 sec, QT: .36 sec.

7. The answer is: b. Sinus rhythm with a pause.  The rhythm is irregular with a rate of 90 bpm. Uniform, upright P waves are seen before each QRS complex.  A brief .84 sec pause is seen.  The QRS complexes are narrow.  No ectopic beats are present. PR: .18 sec, QRS: .08 sec, QT: .32 sec

8. The answer is: d. Sinus tachycardia.  The rhythm is regular with a rate of 125 bpm.  The P waves are positive and are associated with a QRS complex.  The QRS complexes are narrow.  No ectopic beats are present. PR: .12 sec, QRS: .08 sec, QT: .38 sec.

9. The answer is: d. Sinus bradycardia with sinus arrhythmia.  The rhythm is irregular.  The rate is 60 bpm. The P waves are associated with a QRS complex and are uniform and upright.  The QRS complexes are wide.  There is ST elevation seen in lead II.  No ectopic beats are present.  PR: .20 sec, QRS: .16 sec, QT: .44 sec.

10. The answer is: c. Sinus bradycardia with sinus arrest.  The rhythm is irregular.  The heart rate is 30 bpm.  There are upright and uniform P waves seen before each QRS complex.  The QRS complexes are narrow.  No ectopic beats are seen.  A long period of sinus arrest, about 4 seconds, is seen between the 2nd and 3rd complexes.  PR: .20, QRS: .12 sec, QT: 44 sec.
