Perfusion: Cardiac Dysrhythmias

Across
Also called an ECG or EKG, is a simple, painless test that detects and records the heart's electrical activity.
Shock occurring when either systolic or diastolic dysfunction of the myocardium results in compromised cardiac output.
A rapid rhythm originating in the sinoatrial node with a rate of usually 100 to 160 beats per minute; conduction through the ventricles is normal. During exercise or stress this is normal, but if it occurs during rest it is abnormal.
A cardiac dysrhythmia characterized by a total disorganization of atrial electrical activity without effective atrial contraction
A severe Derangement of the heart rhythm characterized on electrocardiogram (ECG) by irregular undulations of varying contour and amplitude.
A rapid heart rate, between 140 and 250 beats per minute, with the ectopic focus in the atria and with no participation by the atrioventricular node or the sinoatrial node. It is recognizable on the electrocardiogram because the P wave precedes the QRS complex, as opposed to being merged with it or following it. This condition is usually associated with atrioventricular block or digitalis toxicity.
A slow sinus rhythm, with a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute in an adult; it is common in young adults and in athletes but is also a manifestation of some disorders. Also known as (sinoatrial bradycardia).
An atrial tachydysrhythmia identified by recurring, regular, saw tooth-shaped flutter waves.
Down
A condition that occurs when an ectopic focus or foci fire repetitively and the ventricle takes control as the pacemaker.
Third-degree atrioventricular heart block in which no impulses from the atria are conducted to the ventricles.
An electronic device used to increase the heart rate in severe bradycardia by electrically stimulating the heart muscle.
Represents the total absence of ventricular electrical activity
