Correct Answer

A. SUPRA VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA

Explanation

Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is the correct rhythm choice because it is a rapid heart rate originating from above the ventricles. Atrial fibrillation is characterized by irregular and chaotic electrical activity in the atria, while atrial flutter is characterized by a rapid, regular atrial rhythm. Sinus tachycardia is a normal increase in heart rate due to increased demand or stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. SVT, on the other hand, is a specific type of arrhythmia that involves rapid heart rates originating from the atria or the atrioventricular node.

- NORMAL SINUS WITH A PAC
Correct Answer

A. NORMAL SINUS WITH A PAC

Explanation

The correct answer is "NORMAL SINUS WITH A PAC." This rhythm is characterized by a normal sinus rhythm interrupted by a premature atrial contraction (PAC). A PAC occurs when an ectopic pacemaker in the atria fires earlier than the sinus node, causing a premature heartbeat. In this case, the rhythm is regular with normal P waves and QRS complexes, but there is an early P wave preceding the normal sinus rhythm. This indicates the presence of a PAC.

Please choose the correct rhythm
- Normal sinus at 70
- Sinus bradycardia at 60
- Normal sinus at 90
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Normal sinus at 90

Explanation

The correct answer is "normal sinus at 90." This is because a normal sinus rhythm refers to the regular electrical impulses generated by the sinoatrial (SA) node in the heart, resulting in a steady heart rate. A heart rate of 90 beats per minute falls within the normal range of 60-100 beats per minute. Sinus bradycardia at 60 would indicate a slower heart rate, while sinus rhythm at 70 would indicate a slightly faster heart rate. Therefore, the correct answer is normal sinus at 90.

A. NORMAL SINUS WITH A PAC

Explanation

The correct answer is "NORMAL SINUS WITH A PAC." This rhythm indicates that the heart is beating at a normal rate and rhythm, but with an additional premature atrial contraction (PAC). A PAC occurs when an electrical impulse originates in the atria before the next normal sinus impulse. It appears as an early, abnormal P wave on the ECG. It is important to identify this rhythm as it may be a sign of underlying heart conditions or electrolyte imbalances.

Correct Answer

A. SINUS RHYTHM WITH PACS

Explanation

Sinus rhythm with PACs refers to a normal sinus rhythm with premature atrial contractions (PACs). PACs are early electrical impulses that originate in the atria and disrupt the regular rhythm of the heart. This rhythm is characterized by a P wave that appears earlier than expected and has a different shape than the normal P wave. The QRS complex and T wave following the PAC are usually normal. Sinus tachycardia is a fast heart rate, sinus bradycardia is a slow heart rate, and SVT refers to supraventricular tachycardia, which is a rapid heart rate originating above the ventricles.

- Sinus Bradycardia at 40
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Sinus Tachycardia at 120

Explanation

Sinus tachycardia at 120 is the correct rhythm because it is a normal sinus rhythm with an elevated heart rate. Sinus tachycardia refers to a regular heart rhythm originating from the sinus node, but with a faster heart rate than normal. In this case, the heart rate is 120 beats per minute, which is considered tachycardic. Sinus bradycardia at 40 refers to a slow heart rate, while a normal sinus rhythm at 60 refers to a normal heart rate. None of the above options accurately describe a heart rhythm with a heart rate of 120.

Rate this question:
13.

Please choose the correct rhythm

Correct Answer

A. Atrial flutter

Explanation

Atrial flutter is the correct rhythm because it is a regular, rapid atrial rhythm characterized by a sawtooth pattern on the ECG. It is caused by a re-entry circuit within the atria, resulting in a fast atrial rate. Atrial fibrillation, on the other hand, is an irregularly irregular rhythm with no discernible P waves on the ECG. Normal sinus rhythm is a regular rhythm with a normal rate and rhythm, while sinus tachycardia is a regular rhythm with an elevated heart rate.

Correct Answer

A. Atrial fibrillation

Explanation

Atrial fibrillation is the correct answer because it is a cardiac rhythm disorder characterized by irregular and often rapid heart rate. In atrial fibrillation, the electrical signals in the atria are chaotic, causing the atria to quiver instead of contracting normally. This results in an irregular ventricular response and can lead to symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Atrial fibrillation is diagnosed by an electrocardiogram (ECG) which shows an absence of P waves and irregular R-R intervals. Treatment options for atrial fibrillation include medications, cardioversion, and catheter ablation.

- SINUS ARRYTHMIA
- SINUS TACHYCARDIA
Correct Answer

A. SINUS RHYTHM WITH A SINUS PAUSE

Explanation

A sinus rhythm with a sinus pause refers to a normal heart rhythm that is interrupted by a temporary pause in the electrical signals originating from the sinus node. During this pause, there is a brief absence of heartbeats before the rhythm resumes. This can be seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG) as a sudden absence of P waves, followed by a delay before the next P wave appears. Sinus pauses can be caused by various factors, such as increased vagal tone or certain medications. It is important to note that sinus pauses can be normal in some individuals, but prolonged or symptomatic pauses may require medical evaluation.

Correct Answer

A. NORMAL SINUS WITH A PAC

Explanation

The correct answer is "NORMAL SINUS WITH A PAC." This rhythm is characterized by a normal sinus rhythm with the presence of a premature atrial contraction (PAC). A PAC occurs when an atrial impulse is initiated from a site other than the sinus node, causing an early contraction of the atria. In this rhythm, the PAC interrupts the normal sinus rhythm, resulting in a premature beat followed by a pause before the next sinus beat. The presence of a PAC can be identified by an abnormal P wave morphology and a premature QRS complex.

It occurs when there is a rapid electrical signal originating from above the ventricles, causing the heart to beat faster than normal. Atrial Flutter and Sinus Tachycardia are also types of abnormal heart rhythms, but they are not the correct answer in this case. Normal Sinus rhythm refers to a regular and normal heart rhythm, which is also not the correct answer. Therefore, the correct rhythm in this case is SVT.

Please choose the correct rhythm
- ATRIAL FLUTTER
- ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
- SINUS TACHYCARDIA
- SVT
Correct Answer

A. SINUS TACHYCARDIA

Explanation

Sinus tachycardia is the correct rhythm because it is a regular rhythm originating from the sinus node with a heart rate greater than 100 beats per minute. Atrial flutter and atrial fibrillation are irregular rhythms originating from the atria, and SVT (supraventricular tachycardia) is a broad term that encompasses various regular or irregular rhythms originating above the ventricles. Therefore, sinus tachycardia is the most appropriate choice based on the given options.

Please choose the correct rhythm
- AFIB TO NORMAL SINUS
- AFIB TO SINUS ARRYTHMIA
- AFIB
- AFIB TO SINUS TACHYCARDIA
Correct Answer

A. AFIB TO NORMAL SINUS

Explanation

The correct answer is AFIB TO NORMAL SINUS. This is the correct rhythm because it indicates a transition from atrial fibrillation (AFIB) to a normal sinus rhythm. Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and rapid heart rhythm, while a normal sinus rhythm is a regular and steady heart rhythm. Therefore, the transition from AFIB to normal sinus rhythm would be considered a positive outcome.
