Atrial-Sensing Pacemaker in AF
Report: Atrial flutter/fibrillation 2 Dual-chamber pacemaker 3 Tachycardia up to 129/min due to atrial (over)sensing 5 Comment: The pacemaker is programmed to follow – up to a set upper rate limit – atrial activity. This is really meant for sinus rhyth
Inferior Infarction: Blocks and Arrhythmias
Report:Sinus tachycardia 122/min Second degree AV block, unspecified Junctional escape beats and rhythm 46/min Non-phasic aberrant conduction Acute inferior infarction Comment:It is said that the presence of 2o AV block in inferior infarction denotes
ST Segment Depression in Pericarditis
Report:Sinus rhythm 84/min Borderline left atrial abnormality Left ventricular hypertrophy voltage ST segment elevation c/c pericarditis Comment:Even with a somewhat wobbly baseline, there is ST depression in V1. This is not a true reciprocal change:
Atrial Fibrillation with Complete AV Block
Report:Atrial fibrillation Third degree AV block VEB Junctional escape rhythm 42/min Possible old inferior MI Diffuse ST/T changes Comment:The ventricular rate is completely regular and slow, disturbed only by a single VEB. The VEB looks like LBBB,
Complete Heart Block in Atrial Fibrillation
Report:Atrial fibrillation Third degree AV block Junctional escape rhythm 44/min LVH with ST/T changes ? incomplete LBBB Comment:At times there is a suggestion of flutter-like organised atrial activity, but the baseline is too variable for flutter. Th
Atrial Fibrillation with Complete AV Block
Report:Atrial fibrillation Third degree AV block VEB Junctional escape rhythm 42/min Possible old inferior MI Diffuse ST/T changes Comment:The ventricular rate is completely regular and slow, disturbed only by a single VEB. The VEB looks like LBBB,
Complete Heart Block in Atrial Fibrillation
Report:Atrial fibrillation Third degree AV block Junctional escape rhythm 44/min LVH with ST/T changes ? incomplete LBBB Comment:At times there is a suggestion of flutter-like organised atrial activity, but the baseline is too variable for flutter. Th
Xylocaine Reflex
Report: Top & middle: Atrial fibrillation Rate-dependent left bundle branch block VEB Bottom: Sinus rhythm SVEBs with LBBB aberration Comment: This is a fine example of xylocaine reflex, compounded by two 200 Joule shocks! There was no need for it:
Runs of Anomalous Conduction
Report :WPW syndrome Atrial fibrillation Runs of anomalous conduction (Wolff-Parkinson-White type âAâ) Borderline small voltage and T wave changes in frontal leads Comment :Syndrome, rather than mere conduction, because of the arrhythmia. The p
WPW âAâ in AF: Positive Concordant Precordial Pattern
Report:Atrial fibrillation with (very) rapid ventricular response. Anomalous conduction (WPW type âAâ) Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Comment:The rate approaches 300/min but is obviously irregular. The trace is pathognomonic of WPW. The positive co
