Discontinue all negative chronotropic agents, since the risk of torsade is much higher with bradycardia or pauses. EKG with paced complexes shown below shows much narrower QRS complex and echocardiogram showed improved LV systolic function primarily due to improvement in LV dyssynchrony. (J The plan: 1. Place temporary pacemaker 3.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) and telemetry revealed junctional bradycardia with heart rate in 30s and sinus pauses (5-7 seconds). He was admitted for further workup of bradycardia. His home medications included metoprolol succinate 25mg daily which was held given bradycardia. Echocardiogram was unchanged from baseline.

The ECG shows sinus tachycardia with RBBB and LAFB, without clear additional superimposed signs of ischemia. Hopefully a repeat echocardiogram will be performed outpatient. The Initial ECG in Today's Case: As per Dr. Meyers — the initial ECG in today's case shows sinus tachycardia with bifascicular block ( = RBBB/LAHB ).

EMS reports intermittent sinus tachycardia and bradycardia secondary to some type of heart block during transport. It is hard to make out P waves but you can see them best in V2, and notches in the T waves in other leads - this is a sinus tachycardia with a very long PR interval indicating first degree block.

Additionally, a bedside echocardiogram showed no wall motion abnormality and normal LV function. He had multiple episodes of bradycardia and nonsustained ventricular tachycardia. A formal echocardiogram for patient 2 showed normal LV size, wall thickness, and global systolic function. It was stented.

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.

Otherwise vitals after intubation were only notable for tachycardia. An initial EKG was obtained: Computer read: sinus tachycardia, early acute anterior infarct. A formal echocardiogram was completed the next day and again showed a normal ejection fraction without any focal wall motion abnormalities to suggest CAD.
