Looks to me like a sinus rythm with an intermittant LBBB? Seems evidenced by the r and r1 you can see, and of course the widen ed QRS :) Mike MacKinnon ... ...

I'd really love to see the twelve lead or get the story behind this one, but to me it appears as if the patient was being paced slowly (unsure of the rate...

Okay I've got the beginnin and the end is a Sinus Rythm with a LBBB. At least I think it is. I don't have calipers or a strip with me so it's tough to count...

Hmmm... looks to me like LBBB with 1 degree block (bifasicular) is the underlying rhythm (its the most stable of the two) changing to 3rd degree with a...
Strikes me that the underlying rhythm is sinus with a first degree heart block and some sort of interventricular conduction defect. This is the cause for the...

You guys are doing great. Neil, for my own knowledge, how do you differentiate between LBBB and IVCD? The underlying rhythm is sinus with first degree AV...
Nick: Keep in mind that most of the time, 1ºAVB is pharmacologically induced, and is less a true "block" than a delay. You often hear cardiologists refer to ...

... Tom; You really can't differentiate the IVCD from a BBB without a 12 lead. Therefore all wide complex ECG's on a rhythm strip are IVCD until proven...
