Diagnosis and management of supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias: Narrow complex tachycardia & wide complex tachycardia

…Narrow complex tachycardias (QRS duration <0,12 seconds) indicate the ventricles are depolarized via the His Purkinje system and thus the impulse originates in the…

Cardiac troponin I (TnI) and T (TnT): Interpretation and evaluation in acute coronary syndromes

…Cardiac troponin levels are extremely low in healthy subjects; the 99 th percentile is less than a few nanograms per liter of blood (typically <5…

Ventricular Tachycardia

Cardiology Introduction Ventricular tachycardia (VT) represents a complex and potentially lethal spectrum of cardiac arrhythmias that remains a formidable challenge in contemporary cardiovascular medicine. As…

Sinus bradycardia: definitions, ECG, causes and management

…ventricular rate slower than 50 beats per minute. P waves with constant morphology preceding every QRS complex. P wave is positive in limb lead II…

🟠 Reference values for adult ECG

…heart rate 50–100 beats per minute; (2) P wave precedes every QRS complex; (3) the P wave is positive in lead II and (4…

Congenital heart disease & GUCH (Grown Up Congenital Heart disease)

…catheterization. Principles of management of congenital heart disease and GUCH Complex malformations often require intervention (surgical or catheter based intervention). In addition to the malformation…

How to interpret the ECG: A systematic approach

…heart rate 50–100 beats per minute; (2) P wave precedes every QRS complex; (3) the P wave is positive in lead II and (4…

Left Ventricular Function

…demonstrated that these parameters are highly interdependent and rather complex. Indeed, myocardial mechanics constitute a whole research field. Cardiac function is also dependent on circulatory…

Long QT (QTc) interval, long QT syndrome (LQTS) & torsades de pointes

…For example, Bazett's formula is only suitable in adults with a heart rate between 60 and 90 beats per minute. Bazett's formula over…

Sinoatrial arrest & sinoatrial pause (sinus pause / arrest)

…depolarization in these cells is 60 beats per minute. The resulting P wave is morphologically different from the sinus P wave, but the QRS complex…
