Notwithstanding many insightful observations, the electrocardiogram (ECG) arguably ignited the big bang in our understanding of cardiac arrhythmias. Using ECG recording and deductive reasoning, our teachers and predecessors classified the bradycardias and tachycardias and proposed many mechanisms, subsequently proven to be correct.
In a world where technology reigns supreme, one of the most profound tools in medicine remains the irreplaceable electrocardiogram (ECG). Sinus bradycardia – sinus rhythm below 60 bpm is a sinus bradycardia. An abnormal electrocardiogram can mean many things. Usually does not exceed 160 bpm.
An electrocardiogram is a machine used to record the heart's electrical activity. Arrhythmia In simple words, arrhythmia refers to an irregular heartbeat. A fast heartbeat is called tachycardia, while a slow heartbeat is called bradycardia in medical terms. ECG and EKG refer to the same thing.
Prior to Mizusawa's study, it was thought that the incidence of syncope, arrhythmia, or SCD in this cohort was low [7]. In light of the risk of arrhythmia events observed in the Mizusawa trial, a formal EP study might be reasonable to obtain in those with fever induced asymptomatic Brugada ECG changes to help risk stratify these patients.
Abnormal Electrocardiogram (ECG): Defined (San Fran syncope rule) as any new changes when compared to the last ECG or presence of non-sinus rhythm. Thus, if there is documented sinus bradycardia, and no suspicion of high grade AV block, at the time of the syncope, this is very useful. Abnormal ECG – looks for cardiac syncope.
Regardless of further evaluation, she should avoid bradycardia, AV nodal blockers, Na channel blockers, and fevers. --If Fever not only unmasks a Brugada-type electrocardiogram (ECG) but also increases the risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation (VF) or sudden cardiac death.
