Intraventricular conduction delay: bundle branch blocks & fascicular blocks

…This is due to the fact that the left ventricle pumps against greater resistance and any disturbance in ventricular activation will reduce the efficiency of…

Nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (defect)

…appearance. Some patients develop nonspecific intraventricular conduction defects without any change in their QRS appearance. Such conduction delays may be due to myocardial fibrosis, amyloidosis…

Supraventricular and intraventricular conduction defects in myocardial ischemia and infarction

…to the endocardium, again, in its final third. The right bundle branch does not give off any Purkinje fibers during its course through the interventricular…

Atropine: Dosing in Bradycardia and Its Limitations

…elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), ischemic injury can disrupt the conduction system at any level, producing atrioventricular (AV) or intraventricular blocks. Isolated sinus bradycardia in the…

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

…produce a normal QRS complex (provided that intraventricular conduction is normal). A premature atrial contraction induces a delay to the next sinus beat (the RR…

Sinoatrial arrest & sinoatrial pause (sinus pause / arrest)

…P wave, but the QRS complex is normal (provided that intraventricular conduction is normal). This rhythm may be referred to as atrial rhythm . Cells near…

ECG interpretation method, adults

Isoprenaline and Dopamine Infusions for Bradycardia

…in older patients and those exhibiting a bundle branch block (BBB) or an intraventricular conduction defect. In severe cases, bradycardia may progress to hemodynamic instability…

Atrial and ventricular enlargement: hypertrophy and dilatation on ECG

…takes longer to depolarize the large ventricular mass. It does not, however, reach 0.12 s (such significant prolongation is due to intraventricular conduction defects…

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