Module 5: Basic Dysrhythmias — ECG Academy

Sinus rhythms and atrial arrhythmias — the rhythms you will see most often on the monitor. From normal sinus rhythm through atrial fibrillation, build the pattern recognition that forms your clinical foundation.

Lessons

• Normal Sinus Rhythm — Master the five criteria that define Normal Sinus Rhythm — the reference standard against which ever
• Sinus Bradycardia — Identify sinus bradycardia on a rhythm strip, understand common causes, separate benign from risky p
• Sinus Tachycardia — Recognize sinus tachycardia as NSR with a rate above 100 bpm, understand that it is a physiologic re
• Sinus Arrhythmia & Pause — Distinguish sinus arrhythmia from pathologic irregular rhythms, recognize sinus pause and arrest on
• Premature Atrial Contractions — Identify premature atrial contractions on a rhythm strip, recognize the different P wave morphology
• WAP & Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia — Identify wandering atrial pacemaker and multifocal atrial tachycardia on a rhythm strip by recognizi
• Atrial Flutter — Recognize the sawtooth flutter wave pattern on a rhythm strip, calculate ventricular rate from condu
• Atrial Fibrillation — Identify atrial fibrillation on a rhythm strip using the three hallmark findings, classify AFib by d
• SVT & WPW Syndrome — Identify SVT on a rhythm strip by its sudden onset, rapid regular rate, and narrow QRS complexes. Un
