Right bundle branch block (RBBB): ECG, criteria, definitions, causes & treatment

…Figure 1. The sinoatrial (SA) node and atrioventricular (AV) node are located in the atria and are not part of the ventricular conduction system. The…

Ventricular rhythm and accelerated ventricular rhythm (idioventricular rhythm)

…disorders. Because the rate (60–100 beats per minute) is on a par with the rate in sinus rhythm and there is atrioventricular conduction, these…

Physiological Assessment of Coronary Stenoses and Revascularization Decisions

…the hemodynamic significance of a coronary lesion, with anatomic and functional assessment discordant in a substantial minority of intermediate lesions. Over the past three decades…

ApoB and Non-HDL Cholesterol in Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

…As a result, apoB and cholesterol measures may be discordant. A patient may have: Relatively high apoB despite normal or low LDL C or non…

Fractional Flow Reserve and Non-Hyperaemic Pressure Ratios

…resting flow and microvascular vasodilator capacity. The two measures may therefore be discordant. A reduced FFR with preserved CFR suggests a predominantly focal epicardial lesion…
