NCLEX EKG STRIPS: Atrial Tachycardia 

I'm a nurse and watch various videos on occasion re: ECG. Your style of presentation is excellent and you explain information in a clear, concise and really nice manner; there are a lot of teachers who really need to watch you videos!!

I have watched hundreds of video's and listened to countless lectures on RU-vid. Very well spoken, easy to understand...truly one of the best. Bravo!!!!

You are awesome- I love people who know who to break things down thoroughly yet in the SIMPLEST form! :-)

I have known for years I had a heart condition but nobody believed me. I could go from palpitations, to chest pain feeling like a elephant was on my chest and being dizzy. I dealt with it over a decade and after 4 kids decided to have it checked. 4 days on a holster monitor and it's discovered I have Atrial Tachycardia with a healthy functional heart, the cardiologist normally makes you wait a week after the monitor to give you results. Mine was so severe he didn't wait and gave me the diagnosis and started me on a beta blocker to slow my heart rate down because if not I be in heart failure I a few years. Turns out 163bpm isn't normal while you sleep lol. This video helped me understand more of whats going on thank you! Sucks I'm 25 and have more problems then a elderly woman.

Atrial tachycardia,abnormal P- wave ( morphology ) and also atrial rate 100/ 250 bpm . Sinus tachycardia , normal P- wave , atrial rate 100/ 200 bpm Thanks

I love your videos you are very knowledgeable about the subjects and I always get a lot out of them. Thanks for posting

Thank you so much you really hit the nail on the head smart.

In Japan, numerous doctors make the claim that some atrial tachycardia is indistinguishable from sinus tachycardia, but from what I understand there must be some sort of abnormal P wave morphology. No where I can find in English does it say they are actually indistinguishable, just harder to distinguish. Is it possible for them to be entirely indistinguishable？

Good luck to anyone distinguishing normal from abnormal p waves on an ecg in an distressed patient with a heart rate of over 100 or even higher than 120 especially with the patient tachypnoeic from panic. Also even if its Atrial tachycardia dont you think its highly likely the person will have a major sympathetic nervous system reaction to that which would almost certainly cause sinus tachycardia anyway ?

just been diagnosed with atria tycardia it wasn't caught in a stress test but on a monitored how sure can this doctor be it's this and not a anxiety attack

VERY informative‼️Thank you‼️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I have Autonomic Dysfunction and have brady/tachy disorder. I have a pacemaker for my bradycardia, but they are having trouble controlling my atrial tach and ventricular tach.

Why do some people say that atrial tachycardia have no p wave? Isn’t that SVT

Love this video ❤

Please can you do a video about the endocrine system.. It's a very confusing system...it would help me out a lot.. thanks in advance...

Nice one, I was just treated for some kind of arrhythmia. Dont know the medical name, maybe you can help me if I tell you what the doctors told me and how I was treated? Ok here we go. So I start off with the symptoms. I felt a pressure in my chest, somtimes I was dizzy and I could feel my pulse changing suddenly from slow to rappid, Sometimes I even started to sweat from my hands and feet. The doctor told me that they had found an Arrythmia after giving me an EKG holter. He explained that basically one new "pacemaker" was interfering with the regular one. When I was treated the sent some kind of gadget trough a vein in my leg up in my heart and poked arround to build a 3D image of my heart and provoke the arrythmia. When the found it they burned it away with 50c or so heat. In the middle of of the treatment they told me that they had to stop because of some kind of fibrilation or something, They put me to sleep and treated me with electricity. Once I woke up they started to burn again and then the doctor said "there is no more arrhythmia" Im fine now. Do you have any idea of what the name for this kind of arrhythmia could be?

I have AT need to find out exactly where

Thank you!

thanks for the vedio,but the ECG picture seems like premature atrial contraction. and what's the difference between these two?

Well done

Ectopic Tachycardia looks the same though. So how is it different from A.T?

Hello! Your video was very informative but I have a question about why you should not do the vagal maneuvers on people who have Atrial Tachycardia. My Aunt (she first had WPW but had an abolition on it years ago) has Atrial Tachycardia and has had two abolition's on it, and was told after a year of her last abolition she has another Atrial Tachycardia. She was told to do the vagal maneuver when her heart starts pounding (which is usually 200 beats per minute). Is that something she shouldn't be doing or in her cause OK to do? Your feedback would be much appreciated!

HI Regina.. Are you going to have a Pn class available soon?
