Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR) • Etiology: the electrical impulse is formed in the SA node and conducted normally. • This is the normal rhythm of the heart; other rhythms that do not conduct via the typical pathway are called arrhythmias.

NSR Parameters 60 - 100 bpm • Rate • Regularity regular normal • P waves • PR interval 0.12 - 0.20 s 0.04 - 0.12 s • QRS duration Any deviation from above is sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia or an arrhythmia

Arrhythmia Formation Arrhythmias can arise from problems in the: • Sinus node • Atrial cells • AV junction • Ventricular cells

For more presentations www.medicalppt.blog

SA Node Problems The SA Node can: • fire too slow • fire too fast

Sinus Bradycardia Sinus Tachycardia

Sinus Tachycardia may be an appropriate response to stress.

Atrial Cell Problems Atrial cells can: • fire occasionally from a focus • fire continuously due to a looping re-entrant circuit

Premature Atrial Contractions (PACs) Atrial Flutter

For more presentations www.medicalppt.blog

Teaching Moment • A re-entrant pathway occurs when an impulse loops and results in selfperpetuating impulse formation.

Atrial Cell Problems Atrial cells can also: • fire continuously Atrial Fibrillation from multiple foci or Atrial Fibrillation fire continuously due to multiple micro re-entrant “wavelets”

For more presentations www.medicalppt.blog

Teaching Moment Multiple micro reentrant “wavelets” refers to wandering small areas of activation which generate fine chaotic impulses. Colliding wavelets can, in turn, generate new foci of activation.

Atrial tissue

AV Junctional Problems The AV junction can: • fire continuously Paroxysmal due to a looping Supraventricular re-entrant circuit Tachycardia • block impulses AV Junctional Blocks coming from the SA Node

For more presentations www.medicalppt.blog

Ventricular Cell Problems Ventricular cells can: • fire occasionally from 1 or more foci • fire continuously from multiple foci • fire continuously due to a looping reentrant circuit

Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs) Ventricular Fibrillation Ventricular Tachycardia
