1. Another common term used interchangeably with focal AT with block is:
A. Rapid atrial tachycardia with block (RAT with block)
B. Multiple atrial thyrotoxic tachycardia with block (MATT with AV block)
C. Juvenile atrial coronary killer with block (JACK with block)
D. Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia with block (PAT with block)
2. Focal AT with block is usually a benign rhythm. True or False.
3. The heart rate in focal AT with block is usually:
A. Atrial rate of 100–150 BPM
B. Atrial rate of 150–250 BPM
C. Ventricular rate of 80–120 BPM
D. Variable rate depending on amount of AV block
E. B and D
4. Ectopic P waves in focal AT with block can be easily missed in some leads. They are characterized by a return to baseline during the intervening P-P intervals. True or False.
5. Buried P waves are rare in focal AT with block. True or False.
6. Which of the following statements is incorrect?
A. Focal AT with block can be associated with a first-degree AV block.
B. Focal AT with block can be associated with a type I second-degree AV block.
C. Focal AT with block can be associated with a type II second-degree AV block.
D. Focal AT with block can be associated with a third-degree AV block.
E. Focal AT with block can be associated with variable AV block.
7. Sometimes AV blocks can be protective to the heart. True or False.
8. In focal AT with block, the atrial impulses will always be regular or pretty close to regular. The ventricular response may be either regular or irregular depending on the type of AV block seen. True or False.
9. Buried P waves can always be seen clearly in a focal AT with block in lead V1. True or False.
10. You can always count on lead II to get you through any rhythm abnormality! True or False.
