Shortly after isoprenalin infusion was initiated, there were short runs of ventricular tachycardia. The physiologic reason for this — is thought to be the result of momentarily increased circulation from mechanical contraction arising from the "sandwiched in" QRS complex. She was started on isoprenalin (isoproterenol).

Then, the current flows to an area known as the bundle of His, which divides into two branches (LBB and RBB) and is the only physiological pathway connecting the atria with the ventricles. Sinus tachycardia – sinus rhythm above 100 bpm is a sinus tachycardia. Usually does not exceed 160 bpm.

Physiologically — the most commonly observed pattern of AFlutter, known as " Typical " AFlutter — produces 2:1 negative deflections seen in the inferior leads ( as seen in Figure-3 ) — as a result of CCW ( C ounter C lock W ise ) rotation of a fixed reentrant circuit around the tricuspid valve annulus and through the cavo-tricuspid isthmus.

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.

The rule of thumb is less accurate, and the risk is higher because a long QT in the presence of bradycardia ("pause dependent" Torsades) predisposes to Torsades. 6) Use a different rule of thumb for bradycardia : Manually approximate both the QT and the RR interval. 3) At heart rates below 60, far more caution is due. which is 0.6

The shortened PR-interval, specifically, proved to be quite beguiling as it swept crews down a differential diagnosis of intermittent accessory pathway syndrome – insomuch as a “syndrome” of recurrent tachycardia to account for the patient’s symptoms. Conversely, some patient’s simply have brisk AVN conduction, which is completely benign.
