Lecture Objectives Describe sinus arrhythmias Describe the main pathophysiological causes of cardiac arrhythmias Explain the mechanism of cardiac block Explain the origin of an ectopic foci Enumerate the common arrhythmias and describe the basic ECG changes

The ECG and the rhythm disturbances

Normal Sinus Rhythm Regular Single p-wave precedes every QRS complex P-R interval is constant and within normal range P-P interval is constant

Causes of Cardiac Arrhythmias Rate above or below normal Regular or irregular rhythm Narrow or broad QRS complex Relation to P waves

Abnormal Sinus Rhythm Tachycardia: an increase in the heart rate Heart rate > 100 beats per minute Causes: Increased body temperature Sympathetic stimulation Inspiration Drugs: digitalis

Abnormal Sinus Rhythm Bradycardia: Slow heart rate < 60 beats per minute Causes: Parasympathetic stimulation Expiration

Abnormal Cardiac Rhythms that Result from Impulse Conduction Block A-V Block When impulse from the S-A node is blocked Causes: Ischemia of the A-V node Compression of the A-V node by scar formation Inflammation of the A-V node Strong vagal stimulation

Types of the A-V Block First degree block Second degree block Third degree block

First degree block Prolong P-R interval (0.2 seconds) Types of the A-V Block

Types of the A-V block Second Degree Block P-R interval > 0.25 second Only few impulses pass to the ventricles  atria beat faster than ventricles  “dropped beat” of the ventricles

Third degree block (complete) Complete dissociation of P wave and QRS waves  The ventricle escape from the influence of S-A node Stokes-Adams Syndrome: AV block comes and goes Types of the A-V block

Ventricular Fibrillation The most serious of all arhythmias Cause: impulses stimulate one part of the ventricles, then another, then itself. Many part contracts at the same time while other parts relax (Circus movement) Tachycardia Irregular rhythm Broad QRS complex No P wave Treatment : DC shock

Ventricular Fibrillation

Atrial Fibrillation Cause: as ventricular fibrillation It occurs more frequently in patients with enlarged heart The atria do not pump if they are fibrillating The efficiency of ventricular pumping is decreased 20 to 30% A person can live for years with atrial fibrillation

A single large wave travels around and around in the atria The atria contracts at high rate (250 time per minute) Atrial Flutter

Ischemia and the ECG One of the common uses of the ECG is in acute assessment of chest pain Cause: restriction of blood flow to the myocardium, either: Reversible: angina pectoris Irreversible: myocardial infarction Ischemia  injury  infarction Ischemia  injury  infarction

Reversible ischemia Inverted T wave ST segment depression

Myocardial Infarction Complete loss of blood supply to the myocardium resulting in necrosis or death of tissue ST segment elevation Deep Q wave

Potassium and the ECG Hypokalemia: flat T wave Hyperkalemia: Tall peaked T wave
