Match each of the accompanying ECG tracings with the corresponding description: 1. AV heart block 2. tachycardia 3. atrial fibrillation 4. Ventricular fibrillation Filocarpine pansympathomimetic. What effect does this drug have on heart rate? The intrinsic cardiac conduction system initiates and distributes the electric impulses that control cardiac activity. Many other factors affect heart rate. 1. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) - What are the two divisions of the ANS, and how does each division affect heart rate? 2. Other factors - Name two other factors that influence heart rate. Beta-adrenergic blockers are used to treat high blood pressure. Explain how these drugs affect heart rate.
