Transient LBBB with RAD & Prolonged Interpolation Effect
Report:Sinus rhythm and arrhythmia VEBs, interpolated Sustained PR interval prolongation Left bundle branch block Transient right axis deviation post-VEBs Possible old anterolateral infarction Comment:Two things are of interest here: diminuendo PR i
Verapamil Overdose
Report: Sinus bradycardia 37/min 2:1 second degree AV block 1o AV block in conducted beats Left bundle branch block Primary T wave changes Comment: The lack of sinus tachycardia is very unhealthy in this situation; much of it could be ascribed to ver
Sudden Ventricular Standstill
Report: Sinus tachycardia 100/min Borderline first degree AV block Left bundle branch block Third degree AV block Ventricular escape beats (bottom) Comment: This is a typical example of AV block in acute anterior infarction: RBBB or LBBB (as here) fo
SVEBs in Bigeminy or 2:1 AV Block?
Report: Sinus rhythm 72/min Second degree AV block, 2:1 Ventriculophasic sinus arrhythmia Left bundle branch block Comment: The ventriculophasic effect is so marked that one cannot be completely certain that the atrial complexes at the end of T wave
Bilateral Bundle Branch Block (BBBB)
Report:Sinus rhythm 94/min Advanced (4:1) AV block Left bundle branch block Comment:While it is possible that there exist independent AV nodal block and isolated LBB disease, the block as recorded is more likely an expression of BBBB, viz. permanent
Aberrant Reentry Beats of Junctional Origin
Report: Sinus bradycardia 36/min (middle & end of bottom strip) Sinus arrest, possibly exit block Junctional escape rhythm Reentry (echo) beats of junctional origin Retrograde first degree VA block 0.26â Antegrade first degree AV block 0.26â Lef
Dig the Break!
Report: Sinus rhythm 96/min Second degree AV block, 2:1[!xe "AV block:concealed:dig the break" \b!] SVEB[!xe "SVEBs:unmasking 2o AV block" \b!] Left bundle branch block Comment: The blocked alternate P waves are almost completely hidden by the descend
Xylocaine & BBBB
Report:Atrial tachycardia, possibly sinus, 174/min 2:1 AV block Left bundle branch block Period of 1:1 conduction Comment:The exact doubling and then halving of the ventricular rate should have steered the CCU staff away from xylocaine. Broad complex
Rate-Dependent LBBB
Report: Sinus rhythm 90/min SVEBs, blocked, in bigeminy Left bundle branch block, rate-dependent Comment: The blocked atrial extrasystoles are discretely etched on the onset of the T wave. In the upper strip, the last LBBB complex has a distinctive nip
Verapamil Overdose
Report: Sinus bradycardia 37/min 2:1 second degree AV block 1o AV block in conducted beats Left bundle branch block Primary T wave changes Comment: The lack of sinus tachycardia is very unhealthy in this situation; much of it could be ascribed to ver
