Answer
SA Node   Dominant pacemaker with intrinsic rate of 60-100 bpm  
🗑
AV Node   Back up pacemaker. intrinsic rate of 40-60 bpm  
🗑
Ventricular cells   back up pacemaker with 20-45 bpm  
🗑
what is normal impulse conduction?   SA-AV-Bundle of His-bundle branches-purkinje fibers.  
🗑
what does P wave represent?   atrial depolarization  
🗑
what does QRS wave rep.?   Ventricular depolariztion  
🗑
what does T wave rep?   Ventricular repolarizaton  
🗑
what is the S-T segment?   atrial and ventricular repolarization, should be at baseline, -Tall or spiked waves=Hyperkalemia,MI -elevation=infarction -depression=ischemia  
🗑
ECG paper boxes   -Horizontally small box=.04s large box=.20s -vertically 1 large box=0.5mv  
🗑
What is duration of PR interval?   0.12-0.20sec  
🗑
What is duration of QRS interval?   0.06-0.10sec  
🗑
What is duration of ST segment?   not elevated or depressed.  
🗑
normal heart rate =?   60-100bpm  
🗑
bradycardia=?   <60bpm  
🗑
Tachycardia=?   >100bpm  
🗑
Flutter=?   >200bpm  
🗑

🗑
How do you estimate heart rate?   count the # of R waves in a 6 sec. strip and X by 10. Or do 300 ___ # of large blocks between R waves.

🗑
What is ischemia?   decreased blood flow to the tissue;depressed or inverted T wave  
🗑
what is meant by injury?   Acute damage to the tissue often from ischemia; elevated S-T segment  
🗑
what is Infarction?   death of tissue; the end result of ischemia or injury.  
🗑
