Trifascicular Block
Key Points Definition: Trifascicular block describes ECG evidence of impaired conduction across all three fascicles: right bundle branch (RBB), left anterior fascicle (LAF), and left posterior fascicle (LPF). Common Usage:…
Sinus Bradycardia
Key Points: Definition: Sinus bradycardia is a rhythm originating from the sinoatrial (SA) node with a rate < 60 bpm. Physiological Occurrence: Common in young, healthy adults, athletes, and during…
Slow Atrial Fibrillation
Key Points Definition: Atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response, usually < 60 bpm. ECG: Irregularly irregular rhythm, no discrete P waves, slow R-R intervals. Common causes: AV-nodal blockers (digoxin,…
Precordial Swirl: OMI Pattern
Key Points Definition: The precordial swirl sign refers to a rotational pattern of ST-segment abnormalities across the precordial leads, suggesting a dynamic and evolving occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI). It is…
Unifasicular Block
Key Points Definition: Unifascicular block refers to conduction delay or interruption in a single fascicle of the ventricular conduction system: the right bundle branch (RBB), left anterior fascicle (LAF), or…
Pulmonary Embolism (PE)
Key Points ECG Findings in PE: No single ECG pattern is diagnostic of acute PE, and ECG findings are typically nonspecific. However, certain ECG patterns, especially those indicating right heart…
QRS Voltage: Basics
Key Points: Definition: QRS voltage represents the amplitude (height) of the QRS complex on ECG, reflecting ventricular electrical activity during depolarization. High Voltage: Increased QRS voltage typically indicates ventricular hypertrophy—most…
Sodium Channel Blocker Toxicity
Key Points: Recognizing the Danger: Sodium channel blocker toxicity can present with a variety of ECG changes that are critical to recognize, especially in patients with altered mental status or…
EMS ECGs in Acute Coronary Syndromes (ACS)
Key Points for EMS Providers: You are the first critical link in the chain of survival for ACS patients—your actions set the course for their care, directly impacting time to…
Subtle ST Segment Elevation: OMI Pattern
Key Points: ACS Dynamics: Occluded arteries in ACS can spontaneously reperfuse and reocclude, making ECG findings variable. Limitations of Computer Interpretation: Subtle STE is often missed by computerized ECG interpretation;…
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…
Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis
Key Points Definition: A rare ion channelopathy that causes sudden, reversible episodes of symmetric flaccid paralysis triggered by low serum potassium. It may be inherited or secondary to thyrotoxicosis or…
