The ECG was interpreted as showing atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. Are you confident there is no ischemia? The heart rate could be compatible with that of a 2:1 conducted atrial flutter. Also, lead I could give the initial impression of showing flutter waves. Do you agree with this strategy?

The Differential Diagnosis is: SVT with aberrancy(#) [AVNRT vs. WPW (also called AVRT*)] Atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction, with aberrancy VT coming from the anterior fascicle ( fascicular VT )@ *AVRT = AV Reciprocating Tachycardia (Tachycardic loop that uses both the AV node and an accessory pathway.

There is a large peaked P-wave in lead II (right atrial enlargement) There is left axis deviation consistent with left anterior fascicular block. There is no evidence of infarction or ischemia. The absence of any wall motion abnormality makes ischemic cardiomyopathy very unlikely. The other atrial flutter types are: 1.

Whenever I see PVCs with the morphology and axis seen in todays case I always look for signs of AC ( Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy ). Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy often manifests with PVCs from the RV. The ECG in Figure-1 however, shows no signs of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Therefore A different approach is needed.
