ECG Blog #430 — Just a Regular LBBB ECG?

Ken Grauer, MD

The ECG in Figure-1 — was obtained from an older man who had just completed dialysis — and , is now complaining of abdominal discomfort that radiates to his chest. Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. ( To improve visualization — I've digitized the original ECG using PMcardio ). How would YOU approach this case?

ECG Blog #421 — Has there been a Recent MI?

Ken Grauer, MD

What if you were asked to interpret the ECG in Figure-1 ? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. ( To improve visualization — I've digitized the original ECG using PMcardio ). By the P s, Q s, 3 R Approach ( which I review in ECG Blog #185 ): Lots of P waves are present — being well seen in the long lead II rhythm strip.

ECG Blog #379 — Why Tachy on Telemetry?

Ken Grauer, MD

Figure-1: Multi-lead rhythm strip obtained from telemetry monitoring. MY Thoughts on the Rhythm Strip in Figure-1: The first 4 beats in this 11-beat rhythm strip are sinus — as determined by the presence of regular upright P waves , with a constant PR interval in lead II ( RED arrows in Figure-2 ).

ECG Blog #366 — Diltiazem didn't work.

Ken Grauer, MD

The ECG and long lead II rhythm strip in Figure-1 — was obtained from a COVID positive patient with persistent tachycardia not responding to Diltiazem. Figure-1: The initial ECG — obtained from a patient with persistent tachycardia. ( To improve visualization — I've digitized the original ECG using PMcardio ).

Sudden shock with a Nasty looking ECG. What is it?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

There were 2 prehospital ECGs: What do you think? There is reciprocal STD in inferior leads. There is a rather large R-wave in lead V1 and a very large R-wave in V2, suggesting an atypical RBBB. There is a rather large R-wave in lead V1 and a very large R-wave in V2, suggesting an atypical RBBB. There is STE in aVR.

Infection and DKA, then sudden dyspnea while in the ED

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

This ECG was recorded: What do you think? Another ECG was recorded: What do you think? Because there is an ST depression vector towards leads V5 and II, leads aVF and II cannot manifest ST elevation or hyperacute T-wave from the inferior OMI. There is widespread ST depression. That this is all demand ischemia is unlikely.

emDOCs Podcast – Episode 101: Acute Chest Syndrome Part 2

EMDocs

HbS has reduced solubility in the setting of hypoxia, leading to sickling of the RBCs. Sickling leads to vascular occlusion, end-organ ischemia, and decreased RBC lifespan, which, in turn, leads to pain crisis, acute anemia, sequestration, infection, and acute chest syndrome (ACS). ECG: Evaluate for ischemia, right heart strain.
