What is NSR?

Back

Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) is the normal heartbeat rhythm originating from the sinus node, characterized by a regular rate of 60-100 beats per minute.

Front

What is V-fib?

Back

Ventricular Fibrillation (V-fib) is a life-threatening heart rhythm that results in rapid, erratic electrical impulses causing the heart to quiver instead of pumping blood.

Front

What is a pacemaker rhythm?

Back

A pacemaker rhythm is an artificial rhythm generated by a pacemaker device, used to regulate heartbeats in patients with arrhythmias.

What is 2nd degree AV block type I?

Back

2nd degree AV block type I, also known as Wenckebach, is characterized by progressive lengthening of the PR interval until a QRS complex is dropped.

Front

What is asystole?

Back

Asystole is a state of no electrical activity in the heart, resulting in no heartbeat and is often referred to as 'flatline'.

Front

What is Sinus Tachycardia?

Back

Sinus Tachycardia is a condition where the heart rate exceeds 100 beats per minute while maintaining a normal rhythm.

Front

What is Atrial Flutter?

Back

Atrial Flutter is a type of arrhythmia where the atria beat rapidly in a regular pattern, often leading to an increased heart rate.

Front

What is V-tach?

Back

Ventricular Tachycardia (V-tach) is a fast heart rhythm originating from the ventricles, which can be life-threatening if sustained.

Front

What is PEA?

Back

Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) is a condition where there is organized electrical activity in the heart but no effective heartbeat.

Front

What is 2nd degree AV block type II?

Back

2nd degree AV block type II is characterized by intermittent failure of conduction from the atria to the ventricles, without progressive lengthening of the PR interval.
