VEBs in Bigeminy
Report: Sinus rhythm 67 – 71/min 1 Ventricular pacemaker 1 VVI mode 4 Ventricular fusion beats 2 VEBs 1 Bigeminal 0.5 Uniform 0.5 Comment: The interesting question is whether the atrial deflections following VEBs are blocked sinus P waves or retrog
Bigeminal AIVR: Inferoposterolateral MI
Report:Sinus bradycardia (rate uncertain) Accelerated idioventricular rhythm 77/min Bigeminy ? exit block Nonspecific ST/T changes Comment:The infarction cannot of course be diagnosed in the original tracing and what was left of its evidence after ang
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
VEBs & U Waves: Hypokalæmia
ReportSinus rhythm. Sinus arrhythmia. VEBs, bigeminy. Prominent U waves consistent with hypokalæmia. Comment:The ECG monitor alarmed at the heart rate 34/min. This need not be merely spurious bradycardia, a mistake in the first place, due to negative
Pseudoalternans
Report:Sinus tachycardia 111/min VEBs in bigeminy Fusion beats Comment:The first fusion beat appears at the end of the top strip. The middle strips show VEBs in bigeminy, without fusion; the bottom strip shows later-coupled VEBs in fusion, mimicking al
RBBB with Right and Left Axis
Report:Sinus rhythm SVEBs, bigeminal Left axis deviation in sinus beats, probably LAHB Right axis deviation in SVEBs due to LPHB Right bundle branch block throughout Borderline T wave changes Comment:With RBBB the frontal axis is determined by the i
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. A sustained run could be mistaken for sinus bradycardia 50/min.
Xylocaine Tachycardia
Report:Sinus tachycardia 114/min (middle strip) SVEBs Blocked, in bigeminy (top) Aberrantly conducted, in bigeminy (bottom) Comment: Xylocaine has some atropinic effect and may have facilitated AV conduction, impairing at the same time the intraventr
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
Xylocaine Tachycardia
Report:Sinus tachycardia 114/min (middle strip) SVEBs Blocked, in bigeminy (top) Aberrantly conducted, in bigeminy (bottom) Comment: Xylocaine has some atropinic effect and may have facilitated AV conduction, impairing at the same time the intraventr
