Rhythms
- Sinus, AF, atrial flutter, SVT
- Each with its characteristic rate; the HR control drives them directly.
- 1° / Mobitz I / Mobitz II / 3° block
- Wenckebach lengthens the PR then drops a beat; complete block runs independent atrial and escape rhythms.
- VT, VF, torsades, asystole
- Selecting a rhythm snaps the rate instantly — a rhythm change is a sudden electrical event, not a ramp.
- PEA
- A flag on any organised rhythm: the ECG carries on, the pulse does not.
