What is the key PR interval characteristic of third-degree AV block?The PR gets gradually longer for successive beats until a P wave fails to conduct and a QRS is droppedPR varies and has no relationship to the QRSPR is consistent and all P waves conduct to cause QRSS, but the PR is longer than normalPR is consistent for all conducted beats, but not all P waves conduct to cause QRSS

In an EKG reading: | the P wave corresponds to the AV node firing. the QRS complex corresponds to a time when ventricular pressure is greater than atrial pressure. When in sympathetic mode, the AV Bundle will be receiving impulses at a faster rate then when in parasympathetic mode. | The T wave represents the time when the SA node first fires. The P-R interval represents the delay that occurs when the AV Bundle transmits signals to the Purkinje fibers.
Which of the following is most likely to be present on the resting EKG recording of a patient with AV node damage? An R-R interval of 0.52 seconds at rest A P-R interval of 0.28 seconds at rest An inverted T wave Normal sinus rhythm
Which of the following would describe the situation where new Q waves are noted in leads II, III, aVF? Group of answer choices That is a normal change with exercise Lateral MI Inferior MI Left axis deviation
If damage to the AV node slowed down conduction through the heart, what would be observed on an ECG? an inverted T wave a longer PR interval a larger P wave a wider QRS complex a longer P wave
PSVT is a regular supraventric ular tachycardia. What are the standard upper and lower limits on the rate, and how could you differentiate it from VT?
Determine the missing word/phrase to correctly complete the explanation of conduction of the heart beat.

An electrical signal is sent and causes The signal is received by the the This signal causes corresponds to the the ECG. This node sends a signal to through the hormone P wave heart. This corresponds to the hormone node in the heart.

There is a slight delay before the next heartbeat as the dissipates from the of the septum and to in the walls of the The sympathetic nervous system causes an heart rate due to the of the ECG. The parasympathetic nervous system causes a heart rate due to the T wave and of
Slow conduction in the atrioventricular node is associated with which of the following? Group of answer choices Prolonged PR interval Prolonged QRS interval Shortened QT interval Elevated ST segment
During the course of a physiology laboratory, a student finds that her PR interval is 0.24 second. Concerned, she takes her own ECG again an hour later and sees an area of the ECG strip where the PRinterval becomes longer and longer. Performing an ECG measurement on herself for a third time, she sees an area of the strip where a P wave is not followed by a QRS or T; farther along in the strip,however, a normal pattern reappears. What do you think these recordings indicate?
Leaky Na+ channels in the cells of the SA Node do which of the following? a-allow a slow repolarization which causes the delay in the AV Node b-allow a slow depolarization which causes the atria to contract for a longer time and fill the ventricles more completely c-allow a slow repolarization which brings the membrane potential back to a resting state d-allow a slow depolarization that eventually reaches the threshold for voltage-gated Ca2+ channels
A variety of ways to calculate heart rate from an ECG may be used. The quickest way to calculate heart rate on a rhythm strip is: Count the number of large squares between one R-R interval, and divide this number into 1500. Calculate the number of QRS complexes in 1 minute Count the number of R-R intervals in 6 seconds, and multiply by 10 Count the number of small squares between one R-R interval, and multiply this number by 300.
