By 1909 ECGs were being used to diagnose cases of arrhythmia; by 1910 to diagnose indicators of a heart attack. The pipeline of algorithms likely to clear regulatory hurdles and enter the cardiac market over the next 12-18 months include those for Pulmonary Hypertension, Cardiac Amyloidosis, Diastolic dysfunction, and Hyperkalaemia.

Q waves in association with RBBB are usually not seen in anterior leads unless there is pulmonary hypertension or anterior infarction. Other Arrhythmias ( PACs, PVCs, AFib, Bradycardia and AV conduction disorders — potentially lethal VT/VFib ). Sinus Tachycardia ( common in any trauma patient. ). QTc prolongation.

Failure to follow this advice will undoubtedly lead to overlooking subtle acute MIs — and , it will especially lead to misdiagnosing many cardiac arrhythmias ( as was done in this case ). How can you avoid overlooking this arrhythmia? The reasons for overlooking this arrhythmia are simple: True MAT is not a common rhythm.

NOTE: For more on ECG recognition of RVH and/or pulmonary hypertension ( re the qR pattern in lead V1 ) — See ECG Blog #234 and Blog #248. P utting I t A ll T ogether: At this point in my assessment of today's rhythm — I fully acknowledge that I did not know for certain the etiology of this arrhythmia.

PEARL #2: As cited in ECG Blog #252 — my favorite truism in arrhythmia interpretation is, "The commonest cause of a pause is a blocked PAC". ECG Blog #65 — for an example of MAT in a patient with chronic pulmonary disease ( plus more on the differential diagnosis of MAT ). ECG Blog #71 — Regarding the Ashman Phenomenon with AFib.

Further ultrasound showed no B-lines (no pulmonary edema). WPW Cardiac arrhythmias ( especially AFib ). The heart rate is too fast for this poor filling. Preload must be increased and the heart rate slowed in order to allow more LV filling. These patients are often on beta blockers to prevent such a scenario.

With this approval, Medtronic now offers two PFA technologies available for patients with Afib. With a short learning curve for experienced physicians, the possibilities are boundless for the treatment of Afib," said Vivek Reddy, M.D., Director of Cardiac Arrhythmia Services for the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City.
