Learn about pacemakers in a 60 second video! 💪🏼❤️ Assessing a patient’s underlying rhythm is important to determine if their pacemaker is working appropriately for their specific cardiac rhythm dysfunction. This test was done at VVI 40 bpm, that means that the pacemaker will not pace the ventricle until a heart rate of 40 bpm, running the test at a rate that low allows us to see if any AV intrinsic conduction or escape beats are present.

📸⚡️Capturing the Heart’s Rhythm: EKG Strips Part 1: 📋 EKG strips are a representation of the heart’s electrical impulses recorded over a specific duration. They can tell us A LOT about the heart. –Quick tips– 🫀Atrial fibrillation has *Irregular R-R intervals* 🫀Atrial flutter has a *Sawtooth appearance* 🚨Ventricular tachycardia (VT) has a tombstone appearance Check out part 2 for the rest of this teaching! #EKGStrips #HeartRhythms #nursingschool #cardiacnurse #nursing #cardiaccare #nurselife
