Atrialflutter with 2:1 conduction. The atrialflutter rate is approximately 200 bpm, with 2:1 AV conduction resulting in ventricular rate almost exactly 100 bpm. Further history revealed she had new onset atrialflutter soon after her aortic surgery, and was put on flecainide approximately 1 month ago.
There is the appearance of STE in inferior leads II, III, and aVF (with STD in aVR), but this is entirely due to flutter waves which are only seen in those leads. Also, the atrialflutter in this case is relatively slow like in many other cases we've shown. AtrialFlutter with Inferior STEMI? Is this inferor STEMI?
We see a regular tachycardia with a narrow QRS complex and no evidence of OMI or subendocardial ischemia. The differential of a regular narrow QRS tachycardia is sinus tachycardia, SVT, and atrialflutter with regular conduction. There are no P waves preceding the QRS complexes, and no clear flutter waves.
The Differential Diagnosis is: SVT with aberrancy(#) [AVNRT vs. WPW (also called AVRT*)] Atrialflutter 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. There is atrial activity before every QRS, but that activity has negative polarity, so it is not sinus rhythm.
Evidence of acute ischemia (may be subtle) vii. Dysrhythmia, pacer), 4) valvular heart disease, 5) FHx sudden death, 6) volume depletion, 7) persistent abnormal vitals, 8) primary CNS event __ 3) Mendu ML et al. ST segment and T wave abnormalities consistent with or possibly related to myocardial ischemia. Left BBB vi.
