    This document provides a summary of common cardiac arrhythmias including their characteristic EKG patterns, heart rates, and general management approaches. It describes atrial arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation and flutter which present with abnormal or absent P waves. It also outlines ventricular arrhythmias including premature ventricular contractions, ventricular tachycardia, torsades de pointes, and ventricular fibrillation which are identified by widened and abnormal QRS complexes. For each arrhythmia, the document indicates whether they are regular or irregular in rhythm, fast or slow in rate, and whether monitoring, cardioversion, medication, or defibrillation is typically required for stable or unstable cases.
