Positive Concordant Precordial Pattern
Report:Pacemaker rhythm 63/min 2 1:1 retrograde conduction 3 Positive concordant precordial pattern 5 Comment:This is a temporary, bipolar unit, inserted in CCU. The patient had a very large right ventricle or the lead is inadvertently placed in the po
Beginning of an Endless Loop
Report: Sinus rhythm 79/min 1 VEB 1 Ventricular escape beat, preceded by attempt at atrial pacemaker escape 1 VEBs, dimorphic couplet 1 Retrograde conduction 2 Retrograde P sensing and generating pacemaker tachycardia 103/min 4 Comment: The retrogra
Pacemaker Syndrome: Paced Bigeminy
Report:Pacemaker rhythm 71/min 1 AV sequential (probably DDD) pacemaker 2 Reentry paced beats of pacemaker origin 5 Bigeminy 1 No evidence of paced atrial capture 1 Comment:The trace should be compared to the previous one, where each atrial pacing sp
Onset of Pacing With Retrograde Conduction
Report:Sinus rhythm 59-62/min 1 Borderline left atrial abnormality (LAA) 1 Demand pacemaker rhythm 59/min 3 Retrograde conduction 5 Comment:The slight sinus arrhythmia allows the pacemaker takeover at 59/min, following a pseudofusion beat in the midd
Primary T Wave Changes
Report:Ventricular pacemaker rhythm 60/min 3 1:1 retrograde conduction 2 Primary T wave changes V1-3 5 Comment:T waves concordant with the QRS complex are no more expected in paced beats than in LBBB: their orientation is due to a myocardial factor rat
Anterior MI: Bigeminal VEBs with Retrograde Conduction
Report:Sinus rhythm 56 â 64/min Left atrial abnormality (LAA) VEBs, bigeminal Retrograde VA conduction Acute anterior infarction Comment:It would be redundant to report poor R wave progression in the face of obvious anterior infarction (the compute
Agonal Rhythm & Paper-End Mark
Report:Junctional or accelerated idioventricular rhythm (AIVR) 52/min. 1:1 retrograde conduction. Comment:The sinus rhythm is completely regular in brain death and usually faster than while vagal tone was still extant, except in profound hypothermia. Th
Pædiatric Right Ventricular Hypertrophy
Report:Probable flutter 300/min with 2:1 block Right axis deviation Right ventricular hypertrophy Comment:In children with congenital heart disease the abnormal RAD is usually manifest as S1S2S3 morphology. The qR in V1 indicates that it is a true RAD,
AIVR & Retrograde Conduction
Report: Sinus arrhythmia VEB (second complex in the top strip) Atrial (?junctional) escape complex (9th in the top strip) Accelerated idioventricular rhythm 86-89/min Retrograde conduction Fusion beats Comment: Typically, the retrograde 1:1 conducti
