![Page 7: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Sinus Bradycardia
• Deviation from NSR
- Rate < 60 bpm
![Page 8: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sinus Bradycardia
• Etiology: SA node is depolarizing slower than normal, impulse is conducted normally (i.e. normal PR and QRS interval).
![Page 9: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Sinus Tachycardia
• Deviation from NSR
- Rate > 100 bpm
![Page 11: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Sinus Tachycardia
• Etiology: SA node is depolarizing faster than normal, impulse is conducted normally.
• Remember: sinus tachycardia is a response to physical or psychological stress, not a primary arrhythmia.
![Page 12: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Premature Beats
• Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs)
• Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs)
![Page 13: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Rhythm #3
70 bpm• Rate?• Regularity? occasionally irreg.
2/7 different contour
0.08 s
• P waves?
• PR interval? 0.14 s (except 2/7)• QRS duration?
Interpretation? NSR with Premature Atrial Contractions
![Page 14: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Premature Atrial Contractions
• Deviation from NSR– These ectopic beats originate in the
atria (but not in the SA node), therefore the contour of the P wave, the PR interval, and the timing are different than a normally generated pulse from the SA node.
![Page 15: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Premature Atrial Contractions
• Etiology: Excitation of an atrial cell forms an impulse that is then conducted normally through the AV node and ventricles.
![Page 16: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Teaching Moment
• When an impulse originates anywhere in the atria (SA node, atrial cells, AV node, Bundle of His) and then is conducted normally through the ventricles, the QRS will be narrow (0.04 - 0.12 s).
![Page 17: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Rhythm #4
60 bpm• Rate?• Regularity? occasionally irreg.
none for 7th QRS
0.08 s (7th wide)
• P waves?
• PR interval? 0.14 s• QRS duration?
Interpretation? Sinus Rhythm with 1 PVC
![Page 18: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
PVCs
• Deviation from NSR– Ectopic beats originate in the ventricles
resulting in wide and bizarre QRS complexes.
– When there are more than 1 premature beats and look alike, they are called “uniform”. When they look different, they are called “multiform”.
![Page 19: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PVCs
• Etiology: One or more ventricular cells are depolarizing and the impulses are abnormally conducting through the ventricles.
![Page 20: ECG Rhythm Interpretation Module IV a Sinus Rhythms and Premature Beats.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d575503460f94a353e2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Teaching Moment
• When an impulse originates in a ventricle, conduction through the ventricles will be inefficient and the QRS will be wide and bizarre.

Ventricular Conduction
NormalSignal moves rapidly through the ventricles
AbnormalSignal moves slowly through the ventricles
