Sometimes, head up tilt test, also known in short as HUTT, is also done for the evaluation of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, POTS, a condition in which there is tachycardia on standing up, without a fall in blood pressure. Second is cardioinhibitory response, in which there is bradycardia, but no hypotension.

Early detection of conditions like AFib, bradycardia, or tachycardia allows patients to address issues before they become critical. By understanding patterns in heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, surgeons can tailor procedures to the individuals needs.

Both of these features make inferior + RV MI by far the most likely ( Pseudoanteroseptal MI is another name for this ) There is also sinus bradycardia and t he patient is in shock with hypotension. A narrow complex bradycardia without any P-waves is also likely to respond to atropine, as it may be a junctional rhythm.

Immediately after contrast injection into the LMCA, the patient had circulatory collapse, with a precipitous drop in blood pressure. An Impella device was placed to maintain cardiac output and perfusion pressures. There was no evidence bradycardia leading up to the runs of PMVT ( as tends to occur with Torsades ).

On arrival in the emergency department, invasive blood pressure was 35/15mmHg and the patient was in profound cardiogenic shock with severe confusion secondary to brain hypoperfusion. The arterial blood gas showed a lactic acidosis with a lactate level of 17mmol/L. PUSH THE LYTICS ! The below ECG (ECG #4) was recorded.

There is a regular, wide complex, (mostly) monomorphic tachycardia. The differential of wide, regular, monomorphic tachycardia is: VT or SVT with aberrancy, all +/- hyperkalemia (see diagrams below). Really wide tachycardia = VT or SVT with conduction abnormality + hyperkalemia, until proven otherwise.
