Transcutaneous Pacing: Part 2

EMS 12-Lead

Initial vitals show hypertension (175/85), Atrial Fibrillation with RVR as seen in Figure 1 , hypercapnia (99mmHg), and SPO2 of 100%. Figure 1 : Initial ECG shows Atrial Fibrillation with LBBB morphology and mild discordant STE not consistent with OMI. Atropine and further doses of epinephrine were not administered.

What is strange about this paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in an otherwise healthy patient? And what happened after giving ibutilide?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Her Apple Watch suddenly told her that she is in atrial fibrillation. Patients with healthy AV nodes who are not on AV nodal blockers and who are not hyperkalemic should have a rapid ventricular response if they have paroxysmal Atrial fibrillation. Baseline bradycardia in endurance athletes limits the use of ß-blockers.

Paced QRS morphology mimicking complete left bundle branch block induced by right ventricular pacing is associated with pacing?induced cardiomyopathy

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Complete left bundle branch block (CLBBB)-like QRS morphology of right ventricular pacing at pacemaker implantation satisfying the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology Foundation/Heart Rhythm Society criteria of CLBBB was associated with development of pacing induced cardiomyopathy.

Cardiomatics guide: Analyzing arrhythmias made easy

Cardiomatics

Interpreting the waves and detecting abnormalities: Typically, the heart conducts electricity in a pathway starting in the sinoatrial node (SA), our heart’s “natural pacemaker”, located in the wall of the right atrium. Sinus bradycardia – sinus rhythm below 60 bpm is a sinus bradycardia.

Systematic review of the incidence and clinical risk predictors of atrial fibrillation and permanent pacemaker implantation for bradycardia in Fabry disease

Open Heart

Bradyarrhythmia and atrial fibrillation (AF) incidence are reported in up to 16% and 13%, respectively. Objective We conducted a systematic review evaluating AF burden and bradycardia requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation and report any predictive risk factors identified.

Why is ECG machine use? What diseases can EKG monitor detect?

Wellnest

Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation causes irregular heartbeat, and the heart's normal blood supply is affected. Since atrial fibrillation can also be intermittent, such patients should continuously monitor their heart activity while performing daily activities with a portable ECG device.

Rationale and design of the NEO-NORMAL-AF study examination of the usefulness of implantable loop recorder for arrhythmia detection including atrial fibrillation in heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction cases: a pilot study

Open Heart

The aim of this study is to investigate the usefulness of an implantable loop recorder (ILR) for arrhythmia detection including atrial fibrillation (AF) in HFnon-rEF patients after discharge. Methods and analysis This is a multicentre single arm study to evaluate the usefulness of ILR for detecting arrhythmia.
