Answers

1.
Sinus tachycardia with T wave inversion in lead II














The rhythm is regular and the rate is 107/min.   The P waves are upright and have a corresponding QRS complex.  There is ST depression in lead II and also a 2 mm ST elevation in the V1 lead. No ectopic beats are noted.  PR:  .16 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec,  QT:  .30 sec.


2.
Normal sinus rhythm with some triplets of PVCs














The rhythm is irregular due to the PVCs.   The rate is 100/min.  The P waves are associated with a QRS complex and are uniform and upright.   There are a pair of PVC triplets.   PR:  .16 sec,  QRS:  .08 sec, QT:  .34 sec.


3.










This is a busy rhythm strip.   There was not enough room on it to note all the different complexes.  The second complex is a R on T PVC that falls on the later portion of the preceding T wave.  The 3rd complex is slightly delayed and there is an upright P wave that has a different morphology from the sinus P waves.  This is followed by another pause and escape beat.   This is quickly followed by a PAC (5th complex) that has the P wave buried in the preceding T wave.   The 6th complex is sinus in origin.  The 7th complex is another R on T PVC.  The 8th and 9th complexes are sinus beats.  The 10th complex is another R on T PVC.   The 11th complex is a junctional escape beat that follows the PVC.   Notice the retrograde P wave that precedes the QRS complex.

4.
Quadrigeminy

The rhythm is irregular due to the PVCs.  The rate is 80/min.  The P waves are low upright and precede the QRS complex.  There are some unifocal PVCs every 4th beat.  PR:  .20 sec,  QRS:  .14 sec,  QT:  .44 sec.


5.
Supraventricular tachycardia








The rhythm is regular with a heart rate of 150/min.   There are no P waves that are readily identifiable.  No ectopic beats are noted.  PR:  ---,  QRS:  .08,  QT:  .28 sec.
