3. Push  or  to highlight Coarse or Fine from the list.
4. Push  to set the arrhythmia type and go back to the ECG: Supraventricular
screen.
Premature Arrhythmias
The premature wave group arrhythmias simulate premature contraction of muscle at
different nodes of the heart. To do a premature arrhythmia:
1. From the ECG screen, push  or  to highlight the Wave Group value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Premature in the wave group list.
4. Push .
5. Push  or  to highlight the Waveform value.
6. Push .
7. Push  or  to highlight a waveform in the list.
8. Push  to set the arrhythmia waveform and go back to the ECG:
Supraventricular screen.
The amplitude of all premature arrhythmia waveforms can be adjusted. See the How
to Set the ECG Parameters section above. ECG signal artifacts can also be added to
each arrhythmia signal. See the How to Simulate an ECG Artifact section above.
Ventricular Arrhythmias
Ventricular arrhythmias are arrhythmias in the lower chambers of the heart, or ventricles.
To do a ventricular arrhythmia:
1. From the ECG screen, push  or  to highlight the Wave Group value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Ventricular in the wave group list.
4. Push .
5. Push  or  to highlight the Waveform value.
6. Push .
7. Push  or  to highlight a waveform in the list.
8. Push  to set the arrhythmia waveform and go back to the ECG: Ventricular
screen.
The amplitude of all ventricular arrhythmia waveforms can be adjusted. See the How to
Set the ECG Parameters section above. ECG signal artifacts can also be added to each
arrhythmia signal. See the How to Simulate an ECG Artifact section above.
The ventricular fibrillation and poly V tach arrhythmias have a variable not available on
the other ventricular arrhythmias. To change the type variable for the ventricular
fibrillation and poly v tach waveform set:
1. Push  or  to highlight the Type value.
2. Push .
3. Push  or  to highlight Coarse or Fine from the list.
4. Push  to set the arrhythmia type and go back to the ECG: Ventricular screen.
