Identify the following rhythms. 1. a. Sinus arrhythmia b. Sinus rhythm with PJCs c. Sinus rhythm with PACs d. 2nd degree AV block type 2. a. Complete heat block b. Accelerated idioventricular rhythm c. Accelerated junctional rhythm d. Ventricular paced 3. a. Complete heart block b. Second degree AV block type II c. Second degree AV block type I d. First degree block 4.  The Great Escape. When the SA node fails to generate an impulse, other pacemakers cells within the heart can take over and stimulate the myocardium. In this example we have a rhythm strip with sinus bradycardia. The 4th beat is a PVC which is followed by long pause. During this pause two ventricular escape beats are initiated. The rate of the escape beats is around 40/min which falls within the expected inherent rate of a ventricular induced rhythm. 5. a. Normal sinus rhythm b. Sinus bradycardia c. First degree heart block d. Second degree he...
