Rhythm Interpretation第 11 / 100 题
A pediatric strip shows upright P waves before every narrow QRS, a PR interval of 0.14 second, and R-R intervals that shorten with inhalation and lengthen with exhalation. What is this rhythm?
a.Atrial fibrillation
b.Sinus arrhythmia
c.Wandering atrial pacemaker
d.Second-degree AV block, Mobitz I
解析
Sinus arrhythmia is a sinus rhythm whose only abnormality is an irregularity that varies with the breathing cycle, and it is a normal finding in children and young adults. Atrial fibrillation would have no identifiable P waves and an irregularly irregular rhythm. Wandering atrial pacemaker shows at least three different P wave shapes, and Mobitz I shows progressively lengthening PR intervals with a dropped QRS.
