Dr. Dickfeld answers the question: 'Types Of Abnormal Ventricular Rhythms?' — -- Question: What are the various kinds of abnormal ventricular heart rhythms, and how do they differ from one ...

This rhythm strip was taken from a 41-year-old male with lymphoma. He had a 5-day history of substernal chest pain, which was increased by lying down and decreased by sitting up and leaning forward.

There are only a few sinus rhythm QRS complexes available to examine on this ECG. Using lead V1 an incomplete right bundle branch block is seen. A prolonged QT interval is present that extends all the ...

Is there a simple way to differentiate a supraventricular tachycardia from a ventricular, wide QRS tachycardia on a rhythm strip? The simplest initial approach is to look at the lead with the most ...

Ventricular arrhythmia occurs when the heart’s lower chambers beat out of sync, which can prevent the heart from effectively pumping blood throughout the body. Diagnosis of ventricular arrhythmia ...

A new multicenter trial has used a new ablation technique for patients with ventricular tachycardia, an abnormally rapid heart rhythm that is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death worldwide. A first ...

Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia is an abnormal heart rhythm where the bottom chambers of your heart beat too quickly. People with severe cases may experience sudden cardiac arrest. Conditions that ...

SUDDEN death in persons with artificial pacemakers is a continuing and disturbing problem. Causes include pacemaker-catheter displacement, electric-component failure, broken wires and rising pacing ...

Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia is an abnormally fast heart rate that occurs in the lower chambers of the heart and lasts for less than 30 seconds. Tachycardia is a heart rate that is faster ...

The ECG shows regular P waves at 60 beats per minute (bpm) with no conduction to the ventricles. The ventricular rate is about 70 bpm with QRS duration of 0.20 and a left bundle branch block (LBBB) ...

The compensatory pause after the PVC is slightly longer than the junctional escape interval and allows the junctional rhythm to escape for 5 beats. During this period, the P waves from the sinus ...
