There are a variety of them. There's ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and of course "asystole". There are also other lethal dysrhythmias that can deteriorate into forms of the aforementioned rhythms like 3 AV Block, agonal, Accelerated IVR, etc.

How do you determine the heart rate on an EKG strip?
Remember a small box is 0.04seconds and the larger box is 0.2seconds For regular rhythms the heart rate is calculated as follows: 1500 divided by the number of small squares between two consecutive R waves (works better for faster heart rates) 300 divided by the number of large squares between two consecutive R waves (only works with slower heart rates) For irregular rhythms the heart rate can be calculated by multiplying the number of QRS complexes on the ECG by 6 (recall that at standard paper speed of 25 mm/s each ECG records 10 seconds of activity)
When your heart goes bump bump is that one or to heart beats?
It really is lubb dupp and it is the sound of the 4 valves closing, two at a time. This occurs during one heart beat.
How many chambers in a lamprey heart?
The heart of a lamprey looks similar to that of modern fish in a sense. It is a two chambered heart with a single atrium and a single ventricle. The atrium of the heart is proceeded by a sinus venosus, which isn't considered an actual chamber but rather pre-heart chamber. Then after the ventricle we have a conus arteriosus that again isn't considered to be a chamber of the heart but rather a post-heart chamber. The blood flow through the heart is a one way path like that of modern day fishes.

The heart is located in the thoracic cavity, which also includes the lungs. In addition, the heart is in the mediastinum, which is the area between the two lungs.

It is considered that because the human heart is stronger and will last longer than other animals.

What rhythms do AED shock?
The two rhythms an AED will only shock are Ventricular Fibrillation (V-Fib) and Ventricular Tachycardia (V-Tach).
