I'm interested in CCRN review, as well, ....but, in a PDA format. I learn better when I have an instant resource on a condition that I'm working on. Perry ...
I am an EMT and have been wondering about atrial repolarization. many people say that atrial repolarization is buried in the QRS complex, but my question is...

Ventricular standstill is used synonymously with asystole or cardiac standstill. However, you may at times still have a p wave or an escape beat in the form...
Yeah, but I see his question....if you have a P wave that's atrial polarization, so absent the qrs, you should see an atrial repolarization wave after a single...

Good question! ventricular standstill can occur when there is just P waves and no QRS complexes to follow them. I have never though of where the atrial...
By ventricular standstill, do you mean asystole? In asystole there is no electrical OR mechanical activity anywhere in the heart. ctoelken@... wrote:I...
To all, I've been having a discussion at work regarding JR's and am sure that any pr interval less than .12 is considered a JR. I can't find any definitive...

I agree with you because the atrial conduction only occurs from .12 to .6 and anything shorter or longer is not conducting the ventricle. But, you can also...
It is quite possible to have the p without the qrs as in the case of my son. His pacer was atrial demand. When he lost the electrical response from the...
If your pr interval is short and the p is upright, you probably have a beat generated in the atrium below the sinus node. I may not always be right, but I'm...

If the beat is generated within the atrium or one of the nodes creating a short but still upright p wave, Would it still be considered a JR or would it be...
I started in an open heart unit fresh out of school 14 years ago. The last year of school I focused all my papers on care of the fresh open heart and learned...
It would depend on the PR interval. If the P wave is upside down on generated from the Av node and up, or if the Pr interval is so short that conduction could...
It would be classified as an abberent atrial rhythm until it reaches the point that the p is landing just about on the qrs. Think of how current runs in a...
I believe he means true ventricular standstill when there is no conduction whatsoever to the ventricle by the atria are still depolarizing--so you get atrial...
