Top 3 Emergent Causes of New Rightward Axis Deviation: When you see new RAD in an adult, immediately consider life-threatening etiologies: Acute Right Heart Strain Pulmonary embolism until proven otherwise…
Key Points QRS Morphology Reflects Conduction Pathways: The shape and width of the QRS complex help differentiate between normal conduction, conduction delays, and ventricular-origin rhythms. QRS–T Wave Proportionality Signals Repolarization…
Key Points Definition: Appropriate discordance is a normal repolarization pattern in which the ST segment and T wave are directed opposite to the main QRS vector. It reflects expected changes…
Key Points The Bix Rule refers to a simple but powerful ECG clue: if you observe a consistent P wave located exactly halfway between two QRS complexes, suspect concealed atrial…
