tachycardia
Term
1st degree AV block is characterized by?
Definition
abnormally long P-R interval

QRS complex
Term
which ECG wave must occur before the ventricles can relax?
Definition
T wave
Term
what property makes the normal pacemaker of the heart function as the pacemaker?
Definition
the specialized cells in the SA node, these cells depolarize more rapidly than other cardiac muscle fibers and the depolarization is based on the rhythm of those cells
Term
atrial flutter is characterized by?
Definition
a sawtooth base line. rapid atrial waves (300/min)
Term
atrial fibrillation is characterized by?
Definition
depolarized waves are disorganized. P waves disappear and a wavy baseline is seen.
Term
2nd degree AV block is characterized by?
Definition
dropped beats. P waves that are not followed by a QRS complex
Term
3rd degree AV block is characterized by?
Definition
no correlation between P waves and QRS complex, abnormally shaped QRS complexes a slower heart rate and different rates of P waves vs QRS complexes.
Term
Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are characterized by?
Definition
extra QRS complexes. QRS complex is wide and deformed.
Term
what is erythroprotein?

the kidney

hat pigment causes jaundice
Definition
biliruben
Term
what is anemia?

few than normal red blood cells
Term
what is polycthemia?
Definition
more than normal red blood cells
Term
what is diapedesis
