Basic Cardiac Rhythms

What heart rhythm is characterized by a regular rhythm and a rate between 60-100 bpm?

Which heart rhythm is characterized by a slow heart rate of less than 60 bpm?

Which of the following rhythms presents with irregularly irregular rhythm and no distinct P waves?

What heart rhythm is often associated with stress, fever, or exertion?

Which heart rhythm requires immediate defibrillation?

Which of the following best describes asystole?

What can sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) lead to?

What type of waves are characteristic of atrial flutter?

An EEG records brainwave activity, and what other activity?

Why is it important to differentiate between cardiac syncope and epileptic seizures?

Bradycardia or asystole may show what on EEG?

In cardiac arrest, what may an EEG become after prolonged hypoxia?

Monitoring ECG during EEG is especially important in patients with which condition?

In convulsive syncope, what may be seen on EEG?

Which arrhythmia is often associated with SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy)?

Cardiac rhythms can sometimes mimic what condition on an EEG?

What cardiac change is common during seizures?

What should be checked on the ECG trace, when the EEG shows slowing or flattening?

Understanding cardiac rhythms helps in preventing what type of misdiagnosis?

What type of care should be provided by collaborating with cardiology?

In a patient experiencing convulsive syncope, what EEG finding would be most indicative of the condition rather than an epileptic seizure?

Why is it critical to monitor ECG during EEG in patients presenting with atypical 'seizure-like' spells?

During an EEG recording, if the EEG trace shows diffuse slowing and intermittent flattening, what immediate action should be taken?

What EEG change might be expected in a patient experiencing bradycardia or asystole?

In the context of SUDEP, what is the primary significance of cardiac arrhythmias?

How does sinus tachycardia typically manifest on an EEG, and what condition alters this presentation?

What EEG changes are expected in cases of cardiac arrest, ventricular fibrillation, or asystole?

Considering the potential for misdiagnosis, which condition could cardiac syncope most closely mimic based on EEG findings?

In which clinical scenario is cardiac monitoring during EEG most critical, necessitating immediate evaluation and potential intervention?

What specific aspect of EEG interpretation is vital for both EEG technologists and neurologists to prevent misdiagnosis involving cardiac events?

What underlying physiological principle directly links cardiac function to EEG patterns, especially in conditions like bradycardia or asystole?

In cases of suspected ictal bradycardia/asystole, prompt detection is crucial to prevent which potential outcome?

What type of collaborative approach is most beneficial in providing comprehensive patient care when cardiac and neurological symptoms overlap?

What is the MOST likely cause of a flatline EEG in the setting of Cardiac Arrest/VF/Asystole?

Why are modern EEG systems equipped with simultaneous single-lead ECG recording?
