Electrocardiography Videos:

Normal Sinus Rhythm
Heart Rate: 60-100 beats/minute
Regular Rhythm

Bradyarrhythmias:

Sinus Bradycardia
Heart Rate < 60 beats/minute
Regular Rhythm
Wiki

First degree AV block
Prolonged PR > 0.2 seconds
Regular Rhythm
Wiki

Second degree AV block
Mobitz type 1
Gradual increase in PR interval
till one beat is completely blocked
Wiki

Second degree AV block
Mobitz type 2
For every 2 or more P waves
there is one QRS complex.
Usually needs pacemaker
Wiki

Third degree AV block
P waves and QRS complexs occur
at different but constant rate.
Usually needs pacemaker
Wiki

Tachyarrhythmias:

Narrow-QRS-complex (SVT) tachycardias

Sinus tachycardia
Heart rate > 100 beats per minute
Wiki

Atrial Fibrillation
Irregularly irregular ventricular rhythm
P waves replaced by fibrillation waves
Normal QRS complexes
Wiki

Atrial Flutter
Fast atrial rate
P waves replaced by flutter waves
Regular ventricular rhythm
Wiki

Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia
P waves are obscured
Regular ventricular rhythm
SVT – wiki

Includes AV nodal reentry, Accessory pathway–mediated tachycardia, Atrial tachycardia (including automatic and reentry forms), Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT), Junctional tachycardia
