She had a single chamber ICD/Pacemaker implanted several years prior due to ventricular tachycardia. The ECG was interpreted as showing atrial flutter with 2:1 conduction. Answer : The ECG above shows a regular wide complex tachycardia. The heart rate could be compatible with that of a 2:1 conducted atrial flutter.

Wide-complex tachycardia: VT or aberrant, or "other?" The patient had a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and several cardioversions. A wide-complex tachycardia in an older patient must immediately suggest ventricular tachycardia. Instead, the rate of 150, plus the history of AF, suggested atrial flutter.

The 12-lead ECG and long lead II rhythm strip shown in Figure-1 — was obtained from a previously healthy, elderly woman who collapsed in the hospital parking lot. PEARL # 3: At this point — the most time-efficient step for solving today's rhythm will be to determine the nature of atrial activity.

His friend was able to get him into the truck and drive him to a nearby community hospital (non-PCI center). 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. Tachycardia and ST Elevation.

This strip was obtained: Apparent Wide Complex Tachycardia at a rate of 280 What do you think? To me, it was clearly atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction. The rate of 280 is just right for atrial flutter. The waves look like atrial flutter waves, NOT like a wide ventricular complex.
