What is this heart rhythm? a. ventricular fibrillation b. torsade de p. c. asystolie d. atrial fibrillation

Answer is A. This is stereotypical ventricular fibrillation.

TdP can degenerate into VF but it usually appears as more of a polymorphic VT with discrete QRS waves pointing in both directions.

Asystole refers to cessation of heart muscle contraction. If the ECG flatlines there is likely asystole.

In atrial fibrillation you would see discrete but irregular QRS complexes separated by a wavy baseline where it would be difficult to make out P waves.

Agroup of engineering students from purdue university reported that its licking machine, modeled after a human tongue, took an average of 364 licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop. twenty of the group's volunteers assumed the licking challenge-unassisted by machinery-and averaged 252 licks each to the center.
