However, an echocardiogram is a different test, also conducted for heart activity. A fast heartbeat is called tachycardia, while a slow heartbeat is called bradycardia in medical terms. Electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and some other tests are done for patients with cardiac arrest. ECG and EKG refer to the same thing.

Soon afterward, the patient’s symptoms return along with lightheadedness, bradycardia, and hypotension. The patient has also developed sinus bradycardia, which may result from right coronary artery ischemia to the SA node. The Queen of Hearts agrees: Around this time his initial high sensitivity troponin I resulted at 231 ng/L.

The computer called "Sinus Bradycardia" only (implying that everything else is normal. The overreading Cardiologist called it only "Sinus Bradycardia" with no other findings. Here is the post PCI EKG: And a few hours after that: The post PCI echocardiogram showed: Normal estimated left ventricular ejection fraction, 57%.

He visited an outpatient clinic for it and an echocardiogram and exercise stress test was normal. His first electrocardiogram ( ECG) is given below: --Sinus bradycardia. In the meantime, cardiology consultant sees the patient and performs a bedside echocardiogram which revealed no major wall motion abnormalities.

Description Sinus bradycardia. First because I have a good eye on ECGs of endurance athletes Second because I see a lot of these tracings Third because the stress test determines the disappearance of ECG abnor malities found at rest Fourth because the echocardiogram is normal Fifth and last, the clinical presentation speaks clearly."

An echocardiogram was done. Other Arrhythmias ( PACs, PVCs, AFib, Bradycardia and AV conduction disorders — potentially lethal VT/VFib ). Is there also Brugada? Here is the result: The estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is 50 %. There is no left ventricular wall motion abnormality identified. Right ventricular prominence.

A formal echocardiogram was completed the next day and again showed a normal ejection fraction without any focal wall motion abnormalities to suggest CAD. Cardiology was consulted and they agreed that the EKG had an atypical morphology for STEMI and did not activate the cath lab.

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.
