Reading Cardiac Rhythms. This measures the voltage of the beat and is determined by how high the wave reaches as measured by each square vertically on the chart. Amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle in one minute normal cardiac output is 4 8 l min cardiac output stroke volume x heart rate our swan boxes give us a continuous cardiac output reading. A normal heart rhythm contains a p wave a qrs and a t wave knowing the normal amplitude deflection and duration of each component is essential to accurate rhythm and ekg interpretation. Study of a patient s cardiac rhythms using an ekg may indicate normal or abnormal conditions.
Amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle in one minute normal cardiac output is 4 8 l min cardiac output stroke volume x heart rate our swan boxes give us a continuous cardiac output reading. During a single heart beat several electrical events occur. Interpret basic cardiac rhythms including normal sinus rhythm sinus tachycardia and sinus bradycardia. 10 mm 1 mv. Recognize abnormal components of the ecg and their measurements. Identify normal components of the ecg and their measurements.
During a single heart beat several electrical events occur.
Abnormal rhythms are called arrhythmia or sometimes dysrhythmia. During a single heart beat several electrical events occur. Interpret basic cardiac rhythms including normal sinus rhythm sinus tachycardia and sinus bradycardia. 10 mm 1 mv. Arrhythmia is an abnormally slow or fast heart rate or an irregular cardiac rhythm. Compare how the cardiac waveform relates to what is occurring in the cardiac cycle.
