What's the source of the unusual electrocardiogram (ECG) findings in a patient presenting with dizziness and limb weakness? That's the mystery posed in a recent case report. The diagnostic challenge ...
The correct diagnosis is sinus rhythm with premature ventricular contractions and ventricular parasystole (Figure 2). Figure 2. Courtesy of Philip J. Podrid, MD. The rhythm is irregular. There are ...
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 ...
This ECG has a narrow QRS complex initally, then a fast heart rate, regular rhythm and no identifiable P wave activity which suddenly turns to a wide complex in a left bundle branch block pattern. The ...
The mechanism of the benefits achieved with the therapy has been attributed to resynchronization of the dyssynchronous segments resulting from bundle branch block, especially left bundle branch block ...
A combination of the Q wave, R wave and S wave, the “QRS complex” represents ventricular depolarization. This term can be confusing, as not all ECG leads contain all three of these waves; yet a “QRS ...
