Parkinson’s Disease
Report:
Sinus rhythm 80/min
SVEB
Borderline (-30o) left axis deviation
Somatic 5/sec tremor consistent with Parkinson’s disease
Comment:
Atrial flutter has the same rate – 300/min – as the extrapyramidal tremor of parkinsonism. In this trace, lead 3, neutral with respect to tremor, establishes the diagnosis of sinus rhythm there and, by inference, elsewhere.
A ‘clean’ ECG, taken a week earlier, is shown below (Fig 160a).
