…the difference between ECG leads and ECG electrodes . An electrode is a conductive pad that is attached to the skin and enables the recording of…

…Accessory pathways do not display the slow conduction that the atrioventricular node does, and this means that any impulse reaching the accessory pathways may travel…

…the conduction system, one must be familiar with the vascular supply to these components. Figure 1 presents all relevant parts of the conduction system and…

Conduction defects ECG Management and treatment of AV blocks (AV block 1, 2 & 3) Evaluation of patients with suspected AV blocks requires a thorough medical…

…aberrant ventricular conduction (aberration, aberrancy). In clinical practice aberration is commonly seen in patients with atrial fibrillation because these patients have rapid and irregular rhythms…

…digoxin. Increased Vagus activity diminishes the automaticity in the sinoatrial node (which lowers heart rate) and also slows conduction over the atrioventricular (AV) node. The…

Conduction defects ECG Lathundar Left Bundle Branch Block (LBBB) Electrocardiographic Criteria and Characteristics Left bundle branch block is characterized by a significant reorganization of the…

…will spread through the right ventricle partly or entirely outside of the conduction system which will be slow and therefore cause a wide QRS complex…

…conduction disorders. These include beta blockers, non dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, antiarrhythmic drugs (amiodarone, dronedarone, sotalol, flecainide, propafenone, procainamide, disopyramide, adenosine, digoxin, ivabradine), psychoactive and…

…conduction failure. The pathophysiology of these events may stem from reversible causes, including hypovolemia, hypoxia, cardiac tamponade, tension pneumothorax, preexisting acidosis, drug overdose, hypothermia, and…
