I recently had dinner in Detroit at a great middle eastern cuisine resturaunt (had the frog legs) with a cardiologist (well published and well known but...
It has been a long weekend with no traction on the Qwave topic. Please don't be timid with your thoughts on how the Qwave is formed... your thoughts and...
Howdy folks, I'm assembling a powerpoint for training purposes and am wondering if you have something to share. I am in need of a few graphics of (any of) real...
How large of a file will your e-mail server allow? Andrew Bowman ... From: Nikiah Nudell To: ekg_club@yahoogroups.com ; E2B Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008...
I pulled this one off the archives of my LP12. It was a case from a different shift. 48 year old male with a chief complaint of palpitations. He is on a Holter...
I will probably be wrong, but here's my stab at it.? I'm seeing back in sinus tachycardia.? I think there's an underlying cause beyond a supraventricular...
Following with Wes's "I'm probably wrong" motto, I will continue that trend... HRÂ looks to be right around 150. The 2nd strip almost looks like you can make...
I would also go with the atrial flutter dx Rate of 150, slightly irregular would r/o svt Cardizem would be my choice - the bp can certainly sustain it What...
I see P waves in strip #2, at a rate just a bit above 160. Definite isoelectric lines between each one. I'd like to have seen the rhythm as it sped back up,...
A flutter would have been my initial impression just based on the rate. After the adenosine, I'm thinking inappropriate S-tach vs. A-tach. Rate control would...
Tom, Â I am going on the "I could be wrong here," but I would think that when the adenosine was pushed, there should not be P waves present, which would lead...
Of course it would help if I read the entire post about the holter monitor. I am no tsure what to think. ... From: Tom Bouthillet <tbouthillet@...> ...
The patient did not have a pacemaker, and as far as I know, there was no near syncope. I found this case interesting because while the Adenosine did cause a ...
hi all, thanks for the invitation Tom, very interesting case, generally the first issue is to be sure you are not going to try to interrupt a compensatory ...
I would like to see a longer rhythm strip and a 12-lead or at least an MCL1 or Lewis lead or something to show the P waves better. I see an atrial rate of...
Thanks for the comments, guys. We're all in agreement that the ECG should be interpreted in light of the history and clinical presentation. Because this...
I have not read all of the posts, just have looked at the strip and read Tom's last post. Given the adenosing bolus, I would agree that the usage of the AV...
We used to go with escalating defibrillation doses, but it was determined that we are better off giving a high level of energy to "get it done" once (and for...
I have seen individuals go into A. fib with adenosine doses, I don't know if the chance of that would be higher with higher doses or not. If it is, perhaps...
This is exactly the kind of conversation I was hoping to trigger. It seems to me that an orthodromic AVRT would be interrupted with the administration of...
I have seen both short RP tachycardia (assumed to be AVNRT or atrial tach with a prolonged PR) or a long RP tachycardia, presumed to be some retrograde...
