Descriptive analysis of the ECG in today's case reveals a regular, narrow tachycardia at ~130/minute , without clear sign of sinus P waves. But the rate is ~130/minute — which is a bit fast for sinus tachycardia. So IF this is sinus tachycardia with a sinoventricular rhythm — then we have to explain WHY the rate is this fast.

This ECG shows a sinus bradycardia with a normal conduction pattern (normal PR, normal QRS, and normal QTc), normal axis, normal R-wave progression, normal voltages. Hypothermia can also produce bradycardia and J waves, with a pseudo-STEMI pattern. There is marked sinus bradycardia. What do you think? As per Drs.
