When in sympathetic mode, the AV Bundle will be receiving impulses at a faster rate then when in parasympathetic mode. | The T wave represents the time when the SA node first fires. The P-R interval represents the delay that occurs when the AV Bundle transmits signals to the Purkinje fibers.arrow_forward
- A patient is suffering from cardiac arrhythmias. They have atrial fibrillation. Describethe normal conduction pathway of heart, starting with the AV node. On an ECG, how might atrial fibrillations present (or how would an ECG be altered for someone with atrial fibrillations)? A different patient (not the one above!!) had to have Atropine administered, which is a parasympathetic antagonist. FIRST, describe what the parasympathetic system does to the heart, including what neurotransmitter it uses and the mechanism of action on the heart. NEXT, explain the effects atropine would have on the heart and whyone common side effect is dry mouth. You also tended to a verbose and flamboyantly dressed zookeeper who came in with a gun strapped to his waist (remember, no names! Lawsuits! HIPPA!).

- During hypothermia (core body temperature below 35°C; normal is 37°C), ECGS develop a very distinct pattern. One commonly observed issue is a much longer P-R interval. This is a sign that conduction is being delayed through which structure? Sinus node O Atrium O A-V node O Purkinje fibersarrow_forwardA class of drugs called beta-blockers are commonly prescribed to cardiac patients in order to reduce their heart rate. Beta-blockers slow heart rate by reducing the conduction of action potentials through the A-V (atrioventricular) node.
