The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a valuable tool for assessing the cardiac conduction system. The measurements routinely obtained with ECG include heart rate, PR interval, QRS duration and the QT ...
A common electrocardiogram finding that has largely been considered insignificant may actually signal an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, the future need for a permanent pacemaker and an ...
If a premature atrial contraction occurs when the AV node has not yet recovered from the refractory period, the PAC will fail to conduct to the ventricles and there will not be a QRS complex ...
QRS interval widening appears to be highly specific for the diagnosis of hyperkalemia in patients with end-stage kidney disease. ECG changes, in general, have poor sensitivities for hyperkalemia in ...
The diagnosis is normal sinus rhythm, atrial bigeminy, first-degree atrioventricular (AV) block (prolonged AV conduction), and right bundle branch block (RBBB). The rhythm is slightly irregular, with ...
