Pacing Clin Electrophysiol. 2008;31(2):229-231. A 52-year-old man was admitted in our institution with cranial traumatism due to a syn-copal episode that occurred while he was walking. Several weeks ...

THE electrocardiographic picture of prolonged QRS-complex duration with short PR interval was the subject of isolated reports 1,2 until Wolff, Parkinson and White 3 described the clinical syndrome of ...

Fragmented QRS complexes (fQRS) are defined by additional notches or slurs within the standard QRS waveform on a 12-lead electrocardiogram. These irregularities arise from heterogeneous ventricular ...

The rhythm is irregular, but the long intervals are the same (↔) and the short intervals (┌┐) are the same. One premature QRS complex (↑) is observed. Therefore, the rhythm is regularly irregular. The ...

Fragmented QRS (fQRS) is an electrocardiographic (ECG) marker of myocardial conduction abnormality, characterized by additional notches in the QRS complex. The presence of fQRS has been associated ...

Dr. Nino Mihatov: A 52-year-old woman was evaluated for a new wide-complex tachycardia that developed while she was hospitalized for the management of seizures. Five days before the development of ...

Narrow-complex tachyarrhythmias are rapid heart rhythms originating in the upper heart chambers, characterized by a QRS duration of less than 120 milliseconds on an EKG. These arrhythmias can be ...

A 90 year old male with no past medical history to clinic with a complaint of generalized weakness, dizziness, and dyspnea on exertion. Mild lower extremity edema, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea, and ...

The three irregularly irregular rhythms are atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter with variable conduction and multifocal atrial tachycardia (similar to wandering atrial pacemaker). Atrioventricular (AV ...

A specialist tells how to interpret subtle changes on the ECG, including those caused by two life-threatening syndromes you might otherwise miss. Reading ECGs is like learning to appreciate art—it is ...

We describe the case of a previously healthy adolescent female who presented with chest discomfort and near-syncope, accompanied by trifascicular block and hypotension. Her clinical condition rapidly ...
