Premature Atrial Contraction (PAC)
Heart Rate: Depends on underlying rhythm
Regularity: Interrupts the regularity of underlying rhythm
P-Wave: can be flattened, notched, or unusual. May be hidden within the T
wave
PRI: measures between .12-.20 seconds and can be prolonged; can be
different from other complexes
QRS: <.12 seconds
Sinus Arrest/Pause
– SA node doesn’t fire
– notice absence of P-wave for a complete cycle (a missed cycle)
length of pause ≠ multiple of normal rate (block)
Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)
an irregular and often very fast heart rate originating from abnormal
conduction in the atria

– slow rate
– narrow QRS (not wide like ventricular)
Junctional Tachycardia
>60 bpm (ms. 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
Premature Junctional Contraction
Inverted p wave or hidden p wave
PRI<0.12 or none
Normal QRS
