Intraventricular conduction delay: bundle branch blocks & fascicular blocks

…Components of the ventricular conduction system and the temporal association between the ECG and impulse transmission through the heart. An intraventricular conduction delay may occur…

Nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (defect)

…intraventricular conduction defects without any change in their QRS appearance. Such conduction delays may be due to myocardial fibrosis, amyloidosis, cardiomyopathy or hypertrophy. Prognosis of…

Supraventricular and intraventricular conduction defects in myocardial ischemia and infarction

…Right dominant system is by far the most common anatomy, occurring in 90% of all individuals. Figure 2. Coronary arteries in a right dominant system…

Atropine: Dosing in Bradycardia and Its Limitations

…of acute coronary syndromes, particularly ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), ischemic injury can disrupt the conduction system at any level, producing atrioventricular (AV) or intraventricular…

Premature atrial contraction (premature atrial beat / complex): ECG and clinical implications

…and thus generate a negative (retrograde) P wave (Figure 2). Thus, the P wave morphology of premature atrial beats differs from the sinus P wave…

Sinoatrial arrest & sinoatrial pause (sinus pause / arrest)

…provided that intraventricular conduction is normal). If the P wave is visible, it is retrograde in lead II (because of the reversed direction of atrial…

ECG interpretation method, adults

…atrial fibrillation) if the block in the AV node is high grade. Causes of tachyarrhythmia with narrow QRS complexes (QRS duration < 0.12 s…

Isoprenaline and Dopamine Infusions for Bradycardia

…high suspicion of intermittent infrahisian block should be maintained, particularly in older patients and those exhibiting a bundle branch block (BBB) or an intraventricular conduction…
