Junctional Rhythm: Acute Anterior Infarction

Report:

Junctional rhythm 60/min

Right bundle branch block

Borderline left axis deviation – 30o

Extensive acute anterior infarction

Comment:

Atrial activity is most apparent in V1, where a spiky positive P wave precedes the QRS by 0.08”.

Patients with bifascicular blocks and extensive anterior infarctions do not live long; this one was no exception.

Sinus rhythm returned, spontaneously, at a similar rate (below, Fig 94a). It made no difference to the cardiogenic shock.
