Bradycardia: DDx

Key Points Common Offenders: Beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and digoxin often top the list of medication-induced bradycardia. High Vagal Tone or AV Block can arise from structural heart disease, ischemia,…

Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (PMVT)

Key Points Definition: PMVT is a ventricular tachycardia characterized by beat-to-beat variations in QRS morphology, axis, and duration, reflecting multiple ventricular foci or reentrant circuits. Clinical Importance: PMVT is often…

Nonsustained Ventricular Tachycardia

Key Points Definition: NSVT is defined as ≥3 consecutive ventricular beats, QRS duration >120 ms, rate typically 100-250 bpm (usually > 120 bpm), lasting less than 30 seconds without causing…

Ectopic Atrial Rhythm

Key Points Definition: Ectopic atrial rhythms occur when atrial depolarization originates from a site other than the sinoatrial (SA) node, producing P waves with abnormal morphology and axis on ECG….

Brugada Syndrome (BrS)

Key Points: Life-Threatening Sodium Channelopathy: Predisposes to ventricular arrhythmias (VF/VT) and sudden cardiac death (SCD), often in otherwise “healthy” hearts. When to Suspect BrS: Patients with syncope, unexplained “seizures,” ventricular…
