Nick, An inappropriate tachycardia is either a problem of automaticity or a problem of reentry. An inappropriate bradycardia is either a problem of ...

Tom, Please don't misquote me! I said it was inappropriate for AVRT which is AV reentry tachycardia. That is a completely different rhythm from AVNRT which...

Dr. Garcia: How do you differentiate these two types of SVT on the 12 lead EKG? Is there still a place for Adenocard in the prehospital arena in your opinion,...

Hi Tom, Please call me Tom (Dr. Garcia sounds so formal!) Anyway, the article you referred me to is an excellent one. It is written by Lenny Ganz (who I have...
I am glad to see this discussion going on. As Dr. Marriott put so well, the first thing to do with any rhythm is to think of why they are doing this. Here is...
Hi guys, Here is a PDF file of a couple of figures and some strips to go along with my last e-mail. Hope you enjoy. To open it you need to have adobe acrobat...
Tom, You are absolutely correct, which is why the recommendation of the AHA in stable tachycardias is to withhold adenosine in any wide QRS tachycardia, as ...
No takers on the July 12 lead, so I'll go ahead with a step by step interpretation for the benefit of anyone on the list who is relatively new to 12 lead...

Tom G. I was unable to discern the P waves in your example of antidromic AVRT. However, I did notice that every 6th complex had a slightly taller R wave, and...
Tom: After reviewing the pdf file again, I am struck by the fact that both orthodromic and antridromic AVRT have prolonged RP interval. I have somehow missed...
hey Tom, I am a very patient man...anyway, I am sending you another PDF file with the blow up of the orthodromic AVRT. You are right both orthodromic and...

Dave I agree with your findings and mentioned them to the ED doc at the time when I saw the EKG. There were no 'other' findings, the doc I asked initially was...
