To perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on someone else:
1.Stand behind the person. Place one foot slightly in front of the other for balance.
2.Make a fist with one hand.
3.Grasp the fist with the other hand.

When premature ventricular complexes [ PVCs] are more than ------%of all beats in 24 hours EKG monitoring it requires treatment.

Correct! Wrong!

Frequent PVCs(>10,000 PVCs/24 hours EKG monitoring or >10% of all beats) require treatment

Which of the following is Typical AVNRT ?

Correct! Wrong!

Typical AVNRT (also described as common AVNRT or slow-fast AVNRT):
The impulse travels over the slow pathway towards the ventricles and returns via the fast pathway to the atria.
The retrograde P wave (or Atrial echo) shows up at the end of the QRS.
90 % of all patients with AVNRT are diagnosed with typical AVNRT.

All of the following are TRUE about AVNRT EXCEPT -

Correct! Wrong!

Typical AVNRT- slow-fast AVNRT : 90 % of all patients with AVNRT are diagnosed with typical AVNRT. The distance between the R and P waves is less than 100ms

Which of the following is themost common cause of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?

Correct! Wrong!

AVNRT is the most common cause of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).


AV tachyarrhythmias include the following:
AV nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT)
AV reentrant tachycardia (AVRT)
Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET)

Correct! Wrong!

Boundaries of Koch's triangle - coronary sinus orifice, tendon of Todaro, and septal leaflet of the right atrioventricular valve

What is the name of atrio-fascicular fibers entering the ventricular myocardium in the region of the right bundle branch?

Correct! Wrong!

In Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome with "type A pre-excitation" the accessory fibers communicate between -

Correct! Wrong!

Bundle of Kent is an abnormal extra or accessory conduction pathway between the atria and ventricles
Pathway may communicate between the left atrium and the left ventricle, in which case it is termed a "type A pre-excitation", or between the right atrium and the right ventricle, in which case it is termed a "type B pre-excitation"
