In a case report published in 1984 in the New England Journal of Medicine, Figure 1 was an electrocardiogram that showed sinus bradycardia with a short PR interval and prominent delta waves, with a pattern of preexcitation typical of a posteroseptal accessory pathway (PSAP).1
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. AFIB/AFL – atrialfibrillation or atrial flutter episodes.
An electrocardiogram is a machine used to record the heart's electrical activity. AtrialFibrillationAtrialfibrillation causes irregular heartbeat, and the heart's normal blood supply is affected. A fast heartbeat is called tachycardia, while a slow heartbeat is called bradycardia in medical terms.
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. 3) At heart rates below 60, far more caution is due. Musat DL et al.
Here is his ED ECG: There is bradycardia with a junctional escape. What is the atrial activity? Or is it atrialfibrillation with complete AV block and junctional escape? Case continued A bedside ultrasound showed diminished LV EF and of course bradycardia. He appeared gray in color, with cool skin.
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.
