Answers
1. c. First degree block. The rhythm is regular. The P waves have a positive axis and are associated with a QRS complex. The P waves are slightly fused with the T waves of the preceding complexes. The PR interval is prolonged. The QRS complexe are narrow. No ectopic beats are seen. PR: .24 sec, QRS: .08 sec, QT: .44 sec.
2. b. NSR with a run of VT. The rhythm begins as NSR. There are upright P waves that are associated with a QRS complex. The QRS complexes are wide. PR: .12 sec. QRS: .12 sec, QT: .40 sec. The 8th complex looks like a fusion complex and it is followed by a run of VT. A compensatory pause follows the run of VT and then sinus rhythm resumes.
3. b. Sinus arrhythmia. The rhythm is irregular. Notice the difference in the R - R interval of the first and second complexes compared to the r - R interval of the last two complexes. The P waves are upright and married to a QRS complex. The QRS complexes are narrow. No ectopic beats are seen. PR: .20 sec, QRS: .08 sec, QT: .44 sec
4. b. Sinus tachycardia The rhythm is regular with a rate of 150 bpm. The P waves are upright and paired with a QRS complex. The QRS complexes are narrow. There is some ST depression and T wave inversion. No ectopic beats are noted. PR: .12 sec, QRS: .08, QT: .32 sec.
5. c. Ventricular paced. The underlying rhythm looks like atrial fibrillation with ventricular paced beats.
