1.

The ECG criteria for

premature junctional complex are the same as for PACs, except for the P wave and the PR interval. 2. Premature Ventricular Complex is an impulse that starts in a atrium and is conducted through the ventricles before the next normal sinus impulse. 3. Lidocaine (Xylocaine) is the medication most commonly used for immediate, shortterm therapy for PVC

4.

Ventricular Tachycardia is

usually associated with coronary artery disease and may precede Atrial fibrillation. 5. Ventricular Asystole. Commonly called flatline, ventricular asystole 6.

Third-degree AV block, or

complete heart block, constitutes one form of AV dissociation in which no impulses from the atria are conducted to the ventricles. 7. Note that hypertension is a normal age-related process
