Normal conduction

Tachycardia
• Narrow complex– Sinus tachycardia– Atrial fibrillation– Atrial flutter– Multifocal atrial
tachycardia– Re-entry tachycardia
(SVT)
• Broad complex– Ventricular tachycardia– Ventricular fibrillation– Torsades de pointes
![Page 5: Cardiac arrhythmia1.ppt3](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103115/557d4c8fd8b42a93078b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Sinus tachycardia
• Regular • Narrow QRS• Always secondary to some cause (anxiety, pain,
hypovolumia, fever etc.)• Identify and treat the cause
![Page 6: Cardiac arrhythmia1.ppt3](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103115/557d4c8fd8b42a93078b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Atrial fibrillation
• Irregularly irregular• Atrial rate >400, ventricular rate
170-180/min• Narrow QRS complex• No definite P waves• No isoelectric line
![Page 7: Cardiac arrhythmia1.ppt3](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022103115/557d4c8fd8b42a93078b4ec4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• If acute or patient is unstable do synchronized cardioversion with 50J
• Control ventricular rate with Diltiazem 0.25mg/kg, Verapamil 5mg, Metaprolol 25mg, Digoxin 0.5mg
• If >2 days (onset not known) do ECHO to R/O thrombus in atrium
• If no clot Cardioversion with 50J• If there is a clot anti coagulate for 1-3
weeks
Atrial Fibrillation- Treatment
