It's the ECG's that george rejects that makes George's ECG's the best.
Long Latency
Report: Sinus rhythm Latent (first degree) AV block PR 0.90” Left anterior hemiblock Right bundle branch block Old anterior infarction Comment: This is the longest sustained first degree AV block I have seen. It is possible that the rhythm is othe
Idioventricular Rhythm in Complete AV Block
Report: Sinus arrhythmia & bradycardia Junctional rhythm 48/min, also blocked Third degree AV block Idioventricular escape rhythm 10 – 30/min Comment: The (blocked) sinus rhythm is slow and irregular. Eventually it is replaced by somewhat more const
Parallel Slopes
Report: Sinus tachycardia 104/min Intermittent second degree 2:1 AV block, possibly Möbitz 2 Intraventricular conduction defect, unspecified (? lead 2 strip) Comment: The tachycardia makes it very difficult to observe any increments in the PR interva
Atrial Fusion Beats
Report:Sinus rhythm Junctional ? atrial rhythm Shifting (atrial) pacemaker Atrial fusion beats AV dissociation Probable third degree AV block Pacemaker rhythm 63/min Comment:Again, this is a "trick" question, designed to make one look (in vain) f
Trigeminal Bradycardia
Report: Sinus tachycardia Advanced second degree AV block 9 second pause Junctional escape beats Comment: Some sinus beats are probably conducted, e.g., first two in the top strip. The long pause is terminated by a junctional escape (first beat in
Advanced AV Block Following VEBs
Report: Sinus rhythm VEBs Triplet of ventricular tachycardia Advanced second degree AV block Comment: The episodes of ventricular standstill all follow the VEBs. The VEBs appear to have retrograde conduction, which may account for sinus rates be
Complete Heart Block: Anterior MI
Report: Sinus tachycardia Third degree AV block Ventricular escape beats and rhythm Comment: The slowing of the sinus rate in the forth and fifth strips was ominous, reflecting sinus node hypoxia or ischæmia. The ventricular escapes were slow and un
Valsalva Manœuvre
Report: Top: Sinus rhythm & arrhythmia Blocked SVEB (first pause) Second degree AV block (second pause) Junctional escape beat Bottom: Sinus rhythm & arrhythmia First degree AV block Sinus arrest Comment: The vagal reflex triggered by the inspi
PAT with Block: Pacemaker Lead
Report:Atrial tachycardia 138/min Second degree AV block, Möbitz 1; 2:1 & 3:2 block Right atrial electrode recording (bottom strips) Comment:The question is a "trick" one, designed to implicate the spurious change in the heart rate in the patient's p
Junctional Bigeminy & Curious ST Elevation?
Report: Sinus arrest Junctional escape rhythm Bigeminy ? reentry ? different junctional foci ? junctional exit block Post-extrasystolic ST segment elevation Comment: The above diagnoses, reasonable as they may sound, were all wrong. The only person
