K; 150-250) - KEY: will be regular (consistent) - AV junction produces a rapid sequence of QRS-T cycles - p-wave often inverted/buried/follow QRS}Atrial paced rhythm {Ans: spike before P wave}Sinus Arrhythmia {Ans: Appearance is ALMOST NORMAL: Respiratory - Circulatory interaction Rate INCREASES with INSPIRATION (IN=IN)}asystole {Ans: absence of contractions of the heart}premature ventricular contraction (PVC) {Ans: a ventricular contraction preceding the normal impulse initiated by the SA node (pacemaker)}monomorphic ventricular tachycardia {Ans: presents with wide QRS complexes of a common shape.}
