Answers


1.
2nd Degree Heart Block Type I










The rhythm is irregular with a rate of 40/min.   The P waves are upright and uniform but there are some dropped P waves following the 2nd, 4th, and 6th complexes.   There is progressive prolongation of the PR interval.  No ectopic beats are noted.  PR:  .28 sec and .34 sec,  QRS:  .12 sec,  QRS:  .52 sec


2.
Accelerated Junctional Rhythm with Unifocal PVCs










The rhythm is irregular due to the ectopic beats.   The rate is 100/min.   There are negative P waves seen before their associated QRS complexes.  Two unifocal PVCs are present and are followed by a compensatory pause.  The QRS complex in the V1 lead has an rSR configuration suggesting a right bundle branch block (RBBB).  PR:  .16 sec,  QRS:  .12 sec,  QT:  .36 sec.


3.
Normal sinus rhythm with bigeminy










The rhythm is irregular because of the frequent PVCs.   The rate is 90/min.   The P waves are upright and are associated with a QRS complex.  The P waves are tall suggesting right atrial enlargement.  Unifocal PVCs are seen in a bigeminal pattern.   A compensatory pause follows the PVCs.  PR:  .16 sec,  QRS:  .12 sec.  QT:  .36 sec.


4.
Normal Sinus Rhythm










The rhythm is regular with a rate of 83/min.   The P waves are upright and have a corresponding QRS complex.   No ectopic beats are noted.  PR:  .12 sec,  QRS:  .12 sec,  QT:  .44 sec.


5.
Ventricular Paced












The rhythm is regular with a rate of 71/min.   There are some small flutter waves between the QRS complexes.  No ectopic beats are noted.  Ventricular pacer spikes are seen before each QRS complex.  PR;  ---,  QRS:  .16 sec,  QT:  .44 sec
