This ECG shows sinus bradycardia with massively long QT (or QU?) Especially when present in the setting of bradycardia and syncopal episodes, this is very worrisome for high risk of lethal dysrhythmias including polymorphic ventricular fibrillation (termed Torsades when in the setting of long QT). interval, at over 600 msec.

PVCs N ot generally considered abnormal ECG findings: Isolated PAC, First Degree AV Block, Sinus bradycardia at a rate of 35-45, and Nonspecific ST-T abnormalities (even if different from a previous ECG). Thus, if there is documented sinus bradycardia, and no suspicion of high grade AV block, at the time of the syncope, this is very useful.
