Answers


1.
Atrial flutter with variable ventricular response










The rhythm is irregular with a rate of 80/min.   Flutter waves are seen between the QRS complexes.   The ratio of flutter waves to QRS complexes varies.   No ectopic beats are identified.   PR:  ---,  QRS:  .16 sec,  QT:  .40 sec

2.

Atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response








The rhythm is irregular with a ventricular rate of 48/min.   P waves are absent but some fibrillation is noted between the QRS complexes.  No ectopic beats are seen.   PR:  ---,  QRS:  .12 sec,  QT:  .48 sec.


3.
Atrial paced










The rhythm is regular with a rate of 60/min.   Atrial pacer spikes precede the very small P waves.  No ectopic beats are noted.  PR:  .20 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .44 sec.


4.
Junctional rhythm










The rhythm is regular.   The rate is 32/min.  The P waves are absent.   No ectopic beats are noted. The QRS complex is narrow.   PR:  ---,  QRs:  .08 sec,  QT:  .52 sec.


5.
Normal sinus rhythm with ST elevation in the V1 lead







The rhythm is regular.   The ventricular rate is 65/min.   The P waves are upright, uniform, and are paired with a QRS complex.   No ectopic beats are noted.   There is a down slopping ST segment with an inverted T wave in lead II and a corresponding 3mm ST elevation in the V1 lead.  PR:  .12 sec,  QRS:  .16 sec,  QT:  .44 sec.
