Supraventricular and intraventricular conduction defects in myocardial ischemia and infarction

…more difficult, which explains why individuals with bundle branch blocks are treated sub optimally (in terms of evidence based medications and use of PCI), as…

Atropine: Dosing in Bradycardia and Its Limitations

…50 beats per minute in the first 4 to 6 hours after an acute infarction—patients may develop hypotension and signs of end organ hypoperfusion…

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

…originates in the atria it will pass through the bundle of His and therefore produce a normal QRS complex (provided that intraventricular conduction is normal)…

Sinoatrial arrest & sinoatrial pause (sinus pause / arrest)

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

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…

Atrial and ventricular enlargement: hypertrophy and dilatation on ECG

…the chamber and this leads to dilatation. The most common cause is valvular regurgitation (insufficiency). For example, aortic regurgitation causes the flow of blood from…

Atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT): ECG features & management

…impulse reaches the atrioventricular node when there are two pathways, one being refractory and the other capable of conducting the impulse, re entry may arise…
