Atrial Flutter: Mechanisms, ECG Recognition and Management

…the CTI has been definitively ruled out. Typical flutter is closely related to atrial fibrillation (AF) in clinical practice. Both arrhythmias are associated with similar…

Atrial flutter: classification, causes, ECG criteria and management

…Typical atrial flutter. The atrial rate (i.e the rate measured between flutter waves) typically ranges between 250 and 350 beats per minute (which is…

Atrial and ventricular enlargement: hypertrophy and dilatation on ECG

…and atrial enlargement. Below follows a discussion on the principles and differences of dilatation and hypertrophy, as well as typical ECG changes seen in atrial…

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

…Typical premature atrial contraction. Figure 2. Atrial premature beat with retrograde P wave. The QRS complex appears if the atrial impulse is conducted to the…

Left atrial enlargement (P mitrale) & right atrial enlargement (P pulmonale) on ECG

…and right atria causes typical P wave changes in lead II and lead V1 (Figure 1, second and third panel). P pulmonale: right atrial enlargement…

Right Ventricular Infarction: Recognition and Haemodynamic Management

…may become markedly depressed. Right sided filling pressures—including central venous, right atrial, and right ventricular end diastolic pressures—are elevated, whereas left ventricular filling…

P-wave, PR interval, PR segment: physiology, criteria & ECG findings

…will be enhanced. Enlargement of the left and right atria causes typical P wave changes in lead II and lead V1 ( Figure 3 ). Enlargement of…

Chronic Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction: Four-Pillar Therapy

…disease modifying strategy applies to symptomatic HFrEF. Clinical presentation and symptoms Typical manifestations reflect pulmonary and systemic congestion, reduced forward cardiac output and limited exercise…

ECG in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH): criteria and implications

…T change in a patient on digoxin treatment 1 ECG signs of left atrial enlargement 3 Left axis deviation 2 QRS duration ≥90 milliseconds 1…

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF)

…the escalating prevalence of cardiometabolic comorbidities. The demographic profile of the typical HFpEF patient differs markedly from that of HFrEF. Patients are predominantly older (frequently…
