2022 Dysrhythmia Ischemia

The ECG shows sinus tachycardia with RBBB and LAFB, without clear additional superimposed signs of ischemia. See these publications for more information Overall, management for cardiac contusion is mostly supportive unless surgical complications develop, involving appropriate treatment of dysrhythmias and hemodynamic instability.

We see a regular tachycardia with a narrow QRS complex and no evidence of OMI or subendocardial ischemia. But adenosine only lasts for seconds, and if the dysrhythmia recurs, then the adenosine is gone. Prevent the initiation of the dysrhythmia -- this can be done with a beta blocker by prenenting PACS 2. Adenosine worked.

And superimposed subendocardial ischemia pattern, of course. Flecainide : This is a potentially dangerous Na channel blocker which can cause ventricular dysrhythmias including ventricular fibrillation. For more on ECG recognition of RVH — See My Comment at the bottom of the page in the March 6, 2022 post of Dr. Smith's ECG Blog ).

There were no dysrhythmias on cardiac monitor during observation. This discussion comes from this previous post: Hyperthermia and ST Elevation Discussion Brugada Type 1 ECG changes are associated with sudden cardiac death (SCD) and the occurrence of ventricular dysrhythmias. He was found to be influenza positive. Is there fever again?

In terms of ischemia, there is both a signal of subendocardial ischemia (STD max in V5-V6 with reciprocal STE in aVR) AND a signal of transmural infarction of the inferior wall with Q wave and STE in lead III with reciprocal STD in I and aVL. The rhythm is atrial fibrillation. The QRS complex is within normal limits.
