Operative therapy for cardiac arrhythmias: Setting the stage for catheter ablation

HeartRhythm

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.

Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

In a world where technology reigns supreme, one of the most profound tools in medicine remains the irreplaceable electrocardiogram (ECG). Sinus tachycardia – sinus rhythm above 100 bpm is a sinus tachycardia. An abnormal electrocardiogram can mean many things. Usually does not exceed 160 bpm.

Atrial fibrillation screening in Syrian patients reporting to the emergency department during the ongoing conflict: a cross-sectional study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. Patients had routine 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) regardless of presenting complaints. The most common presenting complaints and ECG abnormality were trauma (44%) and sinus tachycardia (15%), respectively.

Multipath joint ablation strategy for focal atrial tachycardia originating from patent foramen ovale: a case report

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

IntroductionFocal atrial tachycardia (FAT) is predominant in the pediatric population. A 12-lead electrocardiogram revealed a narrow QRS complex tachycardia with a rate of 157 beats per minute and a prolonged RP relationship. Echocardiography indicated a severely reduced ejection fraction of 22%.

Atrial fibrillation? Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia? Don't look at computer read until AFTER you interpret!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Multifocal Atrial Tachycardia 2. A deep neural network for 12-lead electrocardiogram interpretation outperforms a conventional algorithm, and its physician over-read, in the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation. How can you avoid overlooking this arrhythmia? Sinus with multifocal PACs 3. Sinus with multifocal PVCs 4. Poon et al.

Pediatric Exercise Testing

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

QT prolongation and the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias with exercise are another important aspect of exercise testing in children. Ventricular arrhythmias during exercise can be documented in congenital long QT syndromes as well as in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia.

ECG Changes in Intracranial Hemorrhage

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

In that study commonest ECG abnormalites were QTc prolongation followed by brady/tachycardia and then ST segment deviations [3]. Cerebrovascular damage can cause cardiac arrhythmias related to disinhibition of right insular cortex with resulting increased sympathetic tone.
