Study Notes
ABC's of Arrhythmias
- Fundamental concepts for understanding arrhythmias include Rhythm, Rate, "P" Wave, PR Interval, and QRS Duration.
Measure the Intervals
- Intervals are crucial for deciphering EKG patterns and identifying abnormalities.
Normal PR Interval
- A normal PR interval ranges from 0.12 to 0.20 seconds, equivalent to 3 to 5 small squares on the EKG grid.
Normal QRS Complex
- A typical QRS complex duration is between 0.06 and 0.10 seconds, vital for assessing ventricular electrical activity.
Normal P Wave Height and Width
- The height and width of the P wave reflect atrial depolarization; specific measurements are essential for diagnosis but were not provided in the text.
