Key Points Spectrum, not one rhythm: Look for sinus brady, pauses, arrest, alternating atrial tachyarrhythmias (AF, flutter, ATach). Symptoms matter: Syncope, presyncope, fatigue usually come from cerebral/systemic hypoperfusion, especially after…
Key Point Wide QRS bradycardias usually reflect infranodal conduction disease (His–Purkinje or below), making them much more dangerous than narrow QRS bradycardias. These rhythms often lead to hemodynamic instability and…
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…
Key Points WPW Syndrome: Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a condition characterized by ventricular pre-excitation due to a congenital accessory pathway in patients with symptomatic arrhythmias. ECG Recognition: The classic WPW…
Key Points WPW syndrome is caused by congenital ventricular pre-excitation via an accessory pathway. The classic sinus rhythm pattern includes a short PR interval, delta wave, and a widened QRS,…
