5 Questions
What is the normal heart rate range in beats per minute?
30-100
Which part of the heart was reported as irregular?
QRS complex
What is a potential danger associated with an abnormal heart rhythm?
Cardiac arrest
What does an 'irregular QRS complex' indicate about the heart's functioning?

Indicative of atrial fibrillation
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
Test your knowledge on calculating heart rate and interpreting abnormal ECG waves. Questions may include determining heart rate, identifying irregular ventricular reports, abnormal QRS complexes, flutter waves, and recognizing dangerous cardiac scenarios.
