Extract from a Holter ECG, 2 continuous strips, recorded at 25 mm/s. At the top you can see a broad complex tachycardia without recognizable P waves, which ends spontaneously after 2 beats in the lower section. This is a VT. The very first beat in the 1st strip is most probably a fusion beat. After the end of the VT in the 2nd strip, a narrow QRS complex appears, here you can also recognize that atrial fibrillation is present.

Unfortunately, I can't remember who the author of this ECG is. Perhaps he/she will get in touch with me. However, the ECG is very nice (despite the less than optimal recording quality) and that's why I want to post it. I don't know the history. In the first section of the ECG we see coarse fibrillation waves and QRS complexes with very different RR intervals, which is why this is atrial fibrillation.

Abstract Introduction Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a common pediatric arrhythmia. Beta blockers (BBs) and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are used for treatment despite little data examining their use. We describe the prescriptive tendencies, efficacy, and tolerability of BBs and CCBs used in the treatment of pediatric SVT. Methods and Results This is a multicenter retrospective cohort study from three academic children's hospitals.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), characterized by lifelong elevations in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), is the most common autosomal-dominant genetic disorder in the world. Without treatment, individuals with FH, compared with those without FH, are at 10- to 20-times higher risk of early coronary artery disease and subsequent premature death.
