Study Notes
Heart Rate Calculation
- Heart rate in beats per minute (bpm) can be calculated as 123,436 / 60 = 2050 beats per minute
Irregular Heart Rhythm
- An abnormal heart rate is considered to be above 100 beats per minute
- Irregular ventricular rhythms can be reported as irregular QRS complexes
- Atrial flutter can cause an irregular heart rhythm
Abnormal P Waves
- Abnormal P waves can be observed in an electrocardiogram (ECG) report
- Bizarre P waves can be a sign of an underlying heart condition
- Ventricular bud can be a cause of abnormal P waves
Heart Arrest
- Cardiac arrest can occur due to abnormal heart rhythms
- Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition that requires immediate medical attention
