I should clarify that every EKG needs to be correlated to the patient's overall presentation. In the last case, it was the beta blocker the patient was taking...
Here is a case from Chris Bartus for the group. The file size is still a little on the large size, I apologize for anyone who may still be on dialup. Are any...
Who is Chris Bartus? Nick, the issue here is whether or not the arrhythmia is junctional or ventricular, and it's very difficult to tell without a 12 lead,...
