EKG/Pacemaker Crossword

Temporary pacemaker that the leads are threaded through a vein to the right atrium/ventricle
Treatment for junctional escape rhythm
Pacemaker fires during the excitable period of the cardiac cycle can result in
Failure to capture may result in serious
Therapy of choice for VTach with a pulse or supraventricular tachydysrhythmias
Prolonged AV conduction time until an atrial impulse is non conducted and a QRS is blocked
The atria are stimulated and contract independently of the ventricles. Ventricular rhythm is an escape rhythm.
Complication of permanent pacemaker placement
Treatment for third degree AV block
Block that often progresses to third degree AV block
Serious decline in cardiac output causing shock with a heart rate of 101-180
AV node moves retrograde causing a heart rate of 40-60 beats/minute
Failure to sense or failure to capture on a pacemaker
Accurate 12-lead EKGs are very dependent upon
Noninvasive temporary procedure used until trans venous pacemaker can be inserted
P wave is nonconducted without progressive PR lengthening
Junctional rhythm that is due to sympathetic stimulation to improve cardiac output
Electronic device used to pace the heart when the normal conduction pathway is damaged
Identifies lethal dysrhythmias and shocks to correct rhythm
Power source for pacemaker is inside the body
