Trigeminy
Report: Demand pacemaker rhythm 65/min 2 Hysteresis rate 60/min 3 Intermittent retrograde conduction 2 Sinus capture beats 2 Trigeminy 1 Probable sick sinus syndrome 0 Comment: To comment on the appropriateness of the pacing rate one has to know th
Allorhythmic Failure to Pace & Sense
Report: Sinus rhythm 59/min 1 First degree AV block 1 Non-specific ST/T changes 1 Demand pacemaker 75/min 2 Trigeminy 1 Intermittent failure to pace 1 Possible intermittent failure to sense 1 Comment: Of every three pacemaker spikes, only one - the
Pacemaker-Ventricular 4:3 Block
Report: Sinus rhythm 1 Atrial-sensing ventricular pacemaker 3 Trigeminy due to 4:3 pacemaker-ventricular block 6 Comment:The paced beats show the expected RV apical pacing morphology of LBBB with LAD. The reason for the intermittent failure to pace is
Left Atrial Abnormality
Report:Sinus rhythm 74/min Left atrial abnormality Second degree AV block, Möbitz 2 (Wenckebach) type 4:3 conduction, with trigeminy Horizontal heart position Nonspecific ST/T changes Comment:The P wave is 3 mm broad, with a 1 mm notch; in V1 the P
Retrograde First Degree Ventriculoatrial Block
Report:Junctional rhythm 37/min Retrograde 1o ventriculoatrial (VA) block VA interval 0.28â Right bundle branch block QRS 0.14â Probable old inferoposterolateral infarction Nonspecific ST/T changes Comment:There is a 1:1 retrograde conduction;
Bigeminy and Trigeminy: Atrial Flutter
Report:Atrial flutter 250/min Alternating 4:1 & 2:1 (2:1 + 3:2) conduction, with bigeminy (top) 2:1 + 4:3 conduction, with trigeminy (bottom) Comment:Typical flutter has a basic 2:1 block and a more distal, Wenckebach block; this combination accounts f
Wrong Footprints
Report:Sinus rhythm Non-conducted SVEBs Trigeminy Left bundle branch block Comment:Surprising number of staff reported these strips as Wenckebach (Möbitz 1) second degree AV block. The reason may be the memory of Marriott's injunction to "recognise
