The heart's electrical system that initiates impulses for contraction.

A recording of the electrical activity of the heart over time.

Three waveform indicators of heart cycle's electrical activity.

Heart cells that contract in response to electrical impulses.

Physical assessment to verify heart muscle contraction and perfusion.

Alterations in the heart's normal electrical activity patterns.

An ECG that provides 12 different views of the heart's activity.

Represents 0.04 seconds in ECG timing measurement.

A medication for treating ventricular and atrial arrhythmias.

An antiarrhythmic drug used for atrial fibrillation.

Increases heart rate; used for symptomatic bradycardia.

Medications that decrease heart contractility and control rate.

Decrease myocardial contractility and control heart rate.

A cardiac glycoside that slows heart rate and maintains rhythm.

Medications that stimulate cardiac output and blood pressure.

Increased heart rate due to various factors like exercise or anxiety.

A condition with a heart rate of less than 60 bpm, usually regular rhythm.

May include decreased blood pressure, respiratory distress, fatigue, or syncope.

Includes IV atropine or infusions of dopamine/epinephrine; pacing may be needed.

An abnormal or difficult rhythm of the heart.

Drugs that increase clotting time to reduce blood clots, e.g. warfarin.

An antiarrhythmic that slows conduction through the AV node for SVT.

Used to reverse the effects of anticoagulants like warfarin.

Premature Atrial Contractions that may occur in healthy or diseased hearts, often without symptoms.

Usually absent, but may include palpitations if several PACs occur.

Medications used for treating frequent PACs to slow heart rate.

A condition where the atria contract rapidly (250-350 bpm) resulting in flutter waves on ECG.

Includes heart failure, hypertension, and certain medications affecting heart rhythm.

Regular atrial rhythm, varying ventricular rate, sawtooth P waves, and measurable QRS interval.

Dependent on ventricular rate; can include palpitations, angina, or dyspnea with rapid rates.

Aim to control ventricular rate; may include medications or synchronized cardioversion for unstable patients.

Used during surgery or in emergencies; supports heart rhythm temporarily.

Easily applied external device delivering impulses through skin electrodes in emergencies.

Implanted device used for managing bradycardia and AV block; ongoing heart rhythm support.

Paces either the right atrium or right ventricle with one lead inserted into the heart.

Has two leads, pacing both right atrium and ventricle simultaneously for better coordination.

Adapts heart rate according to activity levels, offering flexibility for exercise demands.

A compact device implanted via a leg vein, with no leads and a longer battery life.

Small spikes seen on ECG indicating electrical stimulations from the pacemaker.

When a pacemaker does not detect the patient's own heartbeat.

Malfunction of the pulse generator preventing pacing.

The heart does not depolarize when paced.

Monitoring heart rhythm and incision after pacemaker placement.

Limitations on movements after pacemaker surgery.

Common devices like microwaves and cell phones are generally safe.

Devices that require careful use around a pacemaker.

A card to show HCPs and security about having a pacemaker.
