Similarly, you may use our , app to adjust the paper speed along with amplification to read the slightest changes, especially for conditions like tachycardia and bradycardia. The novel technology system present in 12L ECG helps us analyze unrecognizable ECG patterns that are hard to detect by human eyes.

46 year old with chest pain develops a wide complex rhythm -- see many examples

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Automatic activity refers to enhanced pacemaking function (typically from a non sinus node source), for example atrial tachycardia. Circulation Research , 56 (2), 184–194. The most common triggered arrhythmia is Torsades de Pointes. But the sinus node works on automatic activity, as do all escape rhythms. Do not treat AIVR.

QT Correction Formulas Compared to The Rule of Thumb ("Half the RR")

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

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

Hyperthermia and ST Elevation

I remember Allie well from her days in the Research volunteer program at Hennepin. Otherwise vitals after intubation were only notable for tachycardia. An initial EKG was obtained: Computer read: sinus tachycardia, early acute anterior infarct. This was submitted by Alexandra Schick. The article is edited by Smith.

Emergency Department Syncope Workup: After H and P, ECG is the Only Test Required for Every Patient.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

If the patient has Abnormal Vital Signs (fever, hypotension, tachycardia, or tachypnea, or hypoxemia), then these are the primary issue to address, as there is ongoing pathology which must be identified. 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.

Patient is informed of her husband's death: is it OMI or it stress cardiomyopathy?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Within ten minutes, she developed bradycardia, hypotension, and ST changes on monitor. Bradycardia and heart block are very common in RCA OMI. Circulation Research , 114 (12), 18521866. There was indication of parasympathetic overdrive ( the acute inferior STEMI with profound bradycardia and junctional escape ).
