Even if we stopped here — We could conclude the following: There is marked bradycardia in today's rhythm ( ie, Heart rate in the low 30s ). Finally — If today's patient does not have significant underlying coronary disease — then her bradycardia with AV block may be the result of SSS ( S ick S inus S yndrome ).

Looking first at the long-lead II rhythm strip — there is significant bradycardia , with a heart R ate just under 40/minute. But the point to emphasize — is that it should only take seconds to recognize that there is bradycardia from significant AV block. = Would you approve her for a nonemergent surgical procedure?

The purpose of this case series is to provide an overview of the procedural and clinical outcomes of patients who underwent stenting for symptomatic ICAS.MethodsWe reviewed a database of all interventional procedures conducted at our institution to identify patients who underwent intracranial stenting from 2013 and 2022 for symptomatic ICAS.

That said — obvious findings include: i ) Marked bradycardia! — Section 20 ( 54 pages = the " long " Answer ) from my ACLS-2013-Arrhythmias Expanded Version provides detailed discussion of WHAT th e AV Blocks are — and what they are not ! The rhythm in Figure-1 is complex — and defies precise interpretation without careful study.

Hyperkalemia causes peaked T waves and the "killer B's of hyperkalemia", including bradycardia, broad QRS complexes, blocks of the AV node and bundle branches, Brugada morphology, and otherwise bizarre morphology including sine wave. With a twist. Do you recognize this ECG yet? Right Bundle Branch Block with ST Elevation in V1?

The rule of thumb is less accurate, and the risk is higher because a long QT in the presence of bradycardia ("pause dependent" Torsades) predisposes to Torsades. 6) Use a different rule of thumb for bradycardia : Manually approximate both the QT and the RR interval. Am J Cardiol 12(9):1379-1383; Nov 2013. Measure it manually.

Bradycardia. This definition was changed following an expert consensus panel in 2013 — so that at the present time, all that is needed to diagnose Brugada Syndrome is a spontaneous or induced Brugada-1 ECG pattern, without need for additional criteria. Acute febrile illness. Variations in autonomic tone. Hypothermia.
