Answers


1.
Accelerated junctional rhythm









The rhythm is regular with a rate of 71/min.   There are retrograde P waves that follow the QRS complexes.   No ectopic beats are seen.   PR:  ---,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .44 sec.


2.
Normal sinus rhythm








The rhythm is regular with a heart rate of 75/min.   The P waves are uniform and precede the QRS complex.   No ectopic beats are observed.   PR:  .16 sec,  QRS:  .12 sec,  QT:  .40 sec.


3.
Normal sinus rhythm with PACs









The rhythm is irregular with some premature atrial contractions.   The ventricular rate is 60/min.  The P waves precede the QRS complex.  The P waves of the PACs, the 2nd and 9th complexes, differs in shape than the P waves of sinus origin.   PR:  .12 sec,  QRS:  :08 sec,  QT:  .40 sec.


4.
Sinus tachycardia with ventricular quadrigeminy








The rhythm is irregular due to the PVCs.   The heart rate is 114/min.   The P waves are positive, uniform, and have a corresponding QRS complex.   There are unifocal PVCs in a quadrigeminal pattern.  PR:  .12 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .36 sec.


5.
Atrial flutter with rapid ventricular response







The rhythm is irregular with a ventricular rate of 114/min.   There are flutter waves in a ratio of 3:1 and 2:1 between the QRS complexes.   This accounts for the variability in the rhythm.   No ectopic beats are seen.  PR:  ---,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .24 sec.
