    This document discusses cardiac dysrhythmias, describing the normal conduction system and ECG waveform components including the P wave, QRS complex, and T wave. It defines tachycardia as a heart rate over 100 and bradycardia as under 60, and covers normal sinus rhythm and dysrhythmias originating from the sinoatrial node such as sinus bradycardia and tachycardia. Pacemakers are discussed as treating slow abnormal rhythms with demand versus fixed rate pacing and the importance of patient education.
