Disease Name Causes ECG Characteristics ECG view
Ventricular tachycardia[1][2][3][4]
Ventricular fibrillation
Asystole[5][6]
  • There is no electrical activity in the asystole
Pulseless electrical activity[7][8]
  • Hypovolemia
  • Hypoxia
  • Hydrogen ions (Acidosis)
  • Hypothermia
  • Hyperkalemia or Hypokalemia
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Tablets or Toxins (Drug overdose) such as beta blockers, tricyclic antidepressants, or calcium channel blockers
  • Tamponade
  • Tension pneumothorax
  • Thrombosis (Myocardial infarction)
  • Thrombosis (Pulmonary embolism)
  • Trauma (Hypovolemia from blood loss)
  • Several ppattern are possible including:
    • Normal sinus rhythm
    • Sinus tachycardia, with discernible P waves and QRS complexes
    • Bradycardia, with or without P waves
