Aberrant ventricular conduction was induced in 44 subjects by introduction of atrial premature beats through a transvenous catheter-electrode. Multiple patterns of aberrant ventricular conduction were obtained in 32 patients and, in the whole group, 116 different configurations were recorded. Of these, 104 showed a classical pattern of mono- or biventricular conduction disturbance. The pattern frequencies were as follows: right bundle-branch block, 28; left anterior hemiblock combined with right bundle-branch block, 21; left anterior hemiblock, 17; left posterior hemiblock combined with right bundle-branch block, 12; left posterior hemiblock, 10; complete left bundle-branch block, 10; and incomplete left bundle-branch block, 6. The remaining 12 configurations could not be classified into the usual categories of intraventricular blocks. In 7 of them, the alterations only consisted of trivial modifications of the QRS contour. In the other 5 instances, aberrant conduction manifested itself by a ...
Left anterior fascicular block (LAFB) is an abnormal condition of the left ventricle of the heart, related to, but distinguished from, left bundle branch block (LBBB). It is caused by only the anterior half of the left bundle branch being defective. It is manifested on the ECG by left axis deviation. It is much more common than left posterior fascicular block. Normal activation of the left ventricle (LV) proceeds down the left bundle branch, which consist of three fascicles, the left anterior fascicle, the left posterior fascicle, and the septal fascicle. The posterior fascicle supplies the posterior and inferoposterior walls of the LV, the anterior fascicle supplies the upper and anterior parts of the LV and the septal fascicle supplies the septal wall with innervation. LAFB - which is also known as left anterior hemiblock (LAHB) - occurs when a cardiac impulse spreads first through the left posterior fascicle, causing a delay in activation of the anterior and upper parts of the LV. Although ...
The Facilitated Angioplasty with Tirofiban or Abciximab Study (FATA Study) is a prospective multicentre study, randomized in 2 groups (high dose Tirofiban or Abciximab), on a sample of 700 patients with acute myocardial infarction for whom primary angioplasty is indicated. Patients will be enrolled in the Emergency Room or in the Intensive Care Unit and other hospital departments or externally in the event of intervention by the Emergency Ambulance Service 118. For all these patients it must be possible to administer a IIb/IIIa inhibitor immediately after ECG and clinical diagnosis, before transfer to the cath lab for the primary angioplasty procedure. Patients arriving directly in the cath lab without being randomized before transfer will also be included.. Major exclusion criteria are: Complete left bundle branch block, Previous myocardial infarction at the same site, Post-anoxic coma, Known thrombocytopenia or leucopenia, Previous episodes of hemorrhagic diathesis or allergy to ASA or ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Echocardiographic localization of an inadvertently placed pacing catheter in the left ventricle. AU - Loungani, R. R.. AU - Wanat, F. E.. AU - Nanda, N. C.. AU - Finch, A.. PY - 1993/1/1. Y1 - 1993/1/1. N2 - This report describes a patient in whom a permanent transvenous pacemaker lead was placed unintentionally across the atrial septum and retained in the left ventricle for nearly 11 years before the error was recognized. A 12- lead electrocardiogram showed paced complexes with right bundle branch block configuration. This appearance raised suspicion that the pacemaker electrode might be in the left ventricle and this was confirmed by two-dimensional echocardiography. Two-dimensional echocardiography is useful for the diagnosis of pacing lead malplacement and should be performed in any patient who develops right bundle branch block pattern on the surface electrocardiogram following pacemaker implantation.. AB - This report describes a patient in whom a permanent transvenous ...
Left Posterior Fascicular Block. In left posterior fascicular block (LPFB) the posterior portion of the left bundle branch is defective. In LPFB the cardiac impulses are therefore conducted to the left ventricle via the left anterior fascicle first, which creates a delay in the activation of the posterior and infero-posterior parts of the left ventricle.. The diagnostic criteria for LPFB are:. ...
Brugada syndrome is a disorder characterized by sudden death associated with one of several ECG patterns characterized by incomplete right bundle-branch block and ST-segment elevations in the anterior precordial leads. See the image below.

This case illustrates some typical features of severe hyperkalemia. Initial characteristic electrocardiographic abnormalities in hyperkalemia are tall and peaked T waves, followed by an increasing cardiac conduction delay. As demonstrated in this case, this results in flattened and broadened P waves, an atrioventricular block of first or higher degrees, and widening of the QRS complex. In rare instances, ST-segment elevation may occur, which leads to a pseudoinfarction pattern.1 Progression of hyperkalemia causes further widening of the QRS complex, often with the configuration of a left or right bundle-branch block. Eventually, merger of QRS complex and T wave will lead to the appearance of a typical sine-wave pattern. Contrary to our patient, a sine-wave pattern often precedes ventricular fibrillation or asystole.2 Furthermore, rapidly progressing flaccid motor weakness may result in a quadriplegia, which was the presenting symptom in this case and is an uncommon manifestation of severe ...
Introductions: Wide QRS complex with left bundle branch block morphology is one of the three criteria for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in heart failure (HF) patients who do not improve on medical management. Approximately 30% of patients do not respond to CRT. This study investigates to find out to what extent the wide QRS duration correlates with the intraventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (IVMD) as measured by Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) echocardiography.. Methods: The HF patients of dilated or ischemic cardiomyopathy with ejection fraction £35% admitted in the medical ward of Patan Hospital, Nepal from March to August 2017 were enrolled in the study. They were divided into two groups, narrow QRS duration of ,120ms (Gr1) and wide QRS duration of ³120ms (Gr2). TDI was performed to measure time to peak systolic velocity of the left ventricular walls. The IVMD, defined as 60 ms (millisecond) or greater difference in time to peak velocity between any two points of the left ...
I will commit myself to commenting before reading Dr. Smiths Blog. I see sinus bradycardia with 1st degree AV block and LBBB. Without yet knowing the history - I see several findings of concern that transcend need (in my opinion) for numerical criteria ... These include: i) ST coving and slight-but-real elevation in leads III and aVF - associated with fairly deep T wave inversion in these leads that is NOT what I expect with typical LBBB; ii) Subtle-but-real ST segment coving that should-not-be-there with simply LBBB in lead II - that supports i) findings; iii) J-point depression with uncharacteristically FLAT ST segment in leads I,aVL (whereas with typical LBBB the ST segment isnt flat, but slowly upsloping) - associated with an upright terminal T wave in these leads (!) that is the mirror-image opposite of what I see in leads III, aVF; iv) An uncharacteristic-for-LBBB takeoff of the ST segment in lead V2 (is typically not so straight at takeoff); and v) 1-2mm of J-point ST depression in ...
To the Editor:. We read with great interest the recent article by Garvey et al.1 The investigators found that 15% of cardiac catheterization laboratory activations in a state-wide percutaneous coronary intervention-capable hospital registry were inappropriate, defined as cancellation of catheterization as a result of electrocardiographic reinterpretation or the patient was not deemed suitable for the procedure. Interestingly, even among those who had an appropriate catheterization, 365 (10.8%) patients had false-positive laboratory activation, defined as no culprit artery identified on angiography. This finding is consistent with a previous report by Larson et al2 in which 14% of patients undergoing cardiac catheterization for suspected ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) did not have a culprit coronary artery on angiography.. Patients presenting with a suspected myocardial infarction in the setting of a new or presumed new left bundle-branch block (LBBB) are currently considered to have ...
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is used in cardiology to grade the severity of heart failure and to assess its prognosis. However, it is unknown whether CPET may be a useful technique to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is said to cause more than 300,000 sudden deaths each year in the US alone. In approximately 5 to 12% of cases, there are no demonstrable cardiac or noncardiac causes to account for the episode, which is therefore classified as idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF). Patients with a distinct form of VF called Brugada syndrome (see {601144}) present with a characteristic electrocardiographic pattern, with right bundle branch block (RBBB) and elevation of ST segment in leads V1 to V3 and may account for 40 to 60% of all IVF cases (review by {3:Chen et al., 1998}). Mutations in the SCN5A gene were identified in patients with Brugada syndrome-1 ({601144 ...
Trifascicular block is a problem with the electrical conduction of the heart. It is diagnosed on an electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG) and has three features: prolongation of the PR interval (first degree AV block) right bundle branch block either left anterior fascicular block or left posterior fascicular block. Trifascicular block is important to diagnose because it is difficult to tell based on the surface ECG whether the prolonged PR interval is due to disease in the AV node or due to diffuse distal conduction system disease. In the former case, if the block at the AV node level becomes complete, the escape rhythm will originate from the bundle of His, which typically will generate heart rates in the 40s, allowing the individual to survive and complain of symptoms of fatigue or near-syncope to their physician. In the latter case, however, because the conduction system disease is diffuse in nature, the escape rhythm may be fascicular or ventricular, which may be at rates that are life-threateningly ...
Symptoms of left anterior fascicular block - I have been diagnosed with RBBB and Left Anterior Fascicular Block. Did 48-hour Holter and Cardio recommends pacemaker. I rarely have symptoms. More info needed. One does not need a pacemaker for rbbb and lafb, therefore, you need to ask cardiologist what is the indication for a pacemaker and if the answer doesnt satisfy you- seek a second opinion and obtain copy of the 48 hr. Holter to bring to that appt.
In this observational analysis of a large real-world cohort of patients with NYHA class III or IV heart failure and reduced ejection fraction, we found that, compared with ICD, CRT-D was associated with a greater difference in mortality in women than in men, but this lower mortality risk was more evident in both male and female patients with LBBB. Among all LBBB patients, both women and men generally had lower mortality risks with QRS ≥130 ms; however, the mortality difference associated with CRT-D was greater in women. In the non-LBBB cohort, there was no mortality risk difference between CRT-D and ICD in women or men with RBBB or in men with IVCD. The finding that there seems to be reduced mortality in patients with LBBB and QRS 130 to 150 ms is important because professional society guidelines for CRT only assign a class I recommendation to patients with LBBB and QRS ≥150 ms.8. That CRT is effective in LBBB has been shown in recent meta-analyses of clinical trials,7,16,22 whereas other ...
Initially, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) was advocated for patients with any widened QRS complex. However, clinical evidence is increasing that left bundle branch block (LBBB) is the electrical substrate that is most amenable to CRT (1). Such improvement seems independent of the degree of heart failure or ejection fraction, in both animal (2) and clinical studies (3,4). In patients with non-LBBB patterns of activation, CRT might even worsen outcomes (1). Therefore, a proper diagnosis of the activation pattern is of great importance. Detailed electrocardiographic analysis is an important diagnostic tool that can be supported by invasive or noninvasive mapping of electrical activation. Such mapping studies have shown that true LBBB coincides with a U-shaped pattern of activation (5).. U-shaped activation has distinct electrical activation features: 1) prolonged transseptal conduction time or prolonged time from endocardial right ventricular activation to left ventricular (LV) ...
The patients included in this study, who presented with a long history of apparently isolated LBBB and progressive LV dysfunction, possessed the characteristics of an original syndrome suspected from previous animal experiments, epidemiological studies, and clinical observations, though never demonstrated in individual patients. These original observations strongly support the concept of LBBB-induced cardiomyopathy treatable with CRT.. Isolated LBBB causes abnormalities of LV dysfunction, manifest by a shortening of the filling time, a decreased septal contribution to LV ejection, and a globally depressed EF, compared with normal matched controls (5). High-amplitude oscillations of the interventricular septum were also described, similar to the septal flash, a sign of mechanical dyssynchrony (present in 4 of our 6 patients) and a putative predictor of echocardiographic response to CRT (16).. The clinical value of several techniques and measures proposed to detect and quantify LBBB-induced ...
As the terminology implies this is a block in the right bundle branch. Does this cause the heart to slow down like we see in some AV blocks? No, because we still have the left bundle working the electrical impulse simply travels down the left side and then spreads across to the right ventricle. Ok, its not as efficient as both bundles working at the same time, but its still enough to make both ventricles contract albeit in a different direction from the norm and with a slight delay. How does this manifest on the ECG? Well, perhaps the most obvious sign is a change in the QRS morphology in the right precordial leads - namely the typical RSR pattern. Why the RSR pattern? Well, its all about vectors. The second R wave is produced by the wave of depolarisation spreading from the left ventricle to the right ventricle i.e. toward the right precordial leads. Anything that moves toward a lead will produce a positive complex. Dont forget that in a normal ECG V1 should be predominantly negative. There ...
SCN2B_HUMAN] Familial atrial fibrillation. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Genetic variations in SCN2B may be involved in Brugada syndrome (PubMed:23559163). This tachyarrhythmia is characterized by right bundle branch block and ST segment elevation on an electrocardiogram (ECG). It can cause the ventricles to beat so fast that the blood is prevented from circulating efficiently in the body. When this situation occurs, the individual will faint and may die in a few minutes if the heart is not reset.[1] [SCN1B_HUMAN] Dravet syndrome;Familial progressive cardiac conduction defect;Generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures-plus;Brugada syndrome.

Q: Our question pertains to the following scenario: The studies section of a history and physical (H&P) indicates that the chest x-ray showed Atelectasis or that an electrocardiogram showed right bundle branch block with anterior fascicular block. Some of us think that coding the diagnosis (i.e., atelectasis) is permissible if the provider states that the testing

OBJECTIVES: Risk factors for heart failure (HF) have not yet been studied in myocardial infarction (MI) patients in Iran. This study was conducted to determine these risk factors. METHODS: In this nationwide, hospital-based, case-control study, the participants were all new MI patients hospitalized from April 2012 to March 2013 in Iran. The data on 1,691 new cases with HF (enrolled by census sampling) were compared with the data of 6,764 patients without HF as controls. We randomly selected four controls per one case, matched on the date at MI and HF diagnosis, according to incidence density sampling. Using conditional logistic regression models, odds ratios (ORs) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to identify potential risk factors. RESULTS: The one-year in-hospital mortality rate was 18.2% in the cases and higher than in the controls (12.1%) (p,0.05). Significant risk factors for HF were: right bundle branch block (RBBB) (OR, 2.86; 95% CI, 1.95 to 4.19), stroke (OR, 2.00; 95% ...
A long philosophical introduction that places electrocardiography in its proper perspective among the cardiological diagnostic techniques makes for enjoyable reading of this primer right from the beginning.. The analogy of the lead systems used to investigate the electrophysiology of the heart to blind men observing an elephant inside a box is quite appropriate.. A brief history of electrocardiography and an introduction into anatomy, physiology, and electrophysiology precede chapters on the normal electrocardiogram, arrhythmias, atrioventricular and intraventricular conduction defects, muscle injury and death, and atrial and ventricular enlargement.. Clearly, the emphasis is on presenting concepts in a simplified but up-to-date manner. ...

A 17-year-old patient was referred to our institution for recurrent syncopal episodes on exertion. He had no relevant past medical history. Peripheral blood pressure was 100/60 mm Hg. Electrocardiogram showed a right bundle branch block. Transthoracic echocardiogram demonstrated a left atrium divided into 2 compartments by a membrane appearing as an almost-complete diaphragm (A and B, Online Video 1). Mitral valve appeared dysplastic with mild regurgitation. Pulmonary arterial pressure was estimated to be 50 mm Hg. Diagnosis of cor triatriatum sinistrum was achieved. Prior to surgery, a cardiac computed tomography (CT) scan was performed. Cardiac CT scan reformations are represented on the chest X-ray (C). It confirmed the diagnosis by showing an enlarged left atrium divided into 2 compartments by a thin membrane (D and E). This diaphragm presented with a small perforation in its inferolateral portion (F and G). No further cardiovascular anomaly was depicted. Cardiac surgery was performed to ...
Left ventricular asynchrony (LVAS) or dyssynchrony refers to abnormal myocardial activation during a cardiac cycle resulting in inhomogeneous left ventricular contraction and reduced left ventricular function. LVAS is common among patients with heart failure (HF) and a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Its prevalence in HF populations has been reported to be greater than 70%, with a much higher prevalence among those with left bundle branch block (LBBB).1 Studies of LVAS in HF populations have demonstrated its ability to predict HF outcomes and arrhythmic events.2-4 Gated radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging is an established technique for the assessment of LVAS using the phase analysis technique of gated myocardial perfusion images. This essentially assesses the dispersion in the timing of myocardial contraction in individual segments during a cardiac cycle. Central to the assessment of LVAS by phase analysis is the relatively linear relationship between myocardial ...
Here, the characteristics of T1MI and T2MI and their relative proportions are consistent with previous studies. T2MI patients were 10 year older, more often women, had more cardiovascular risk and comorbidities than patients with T1MI [8,9,18]. Moreover, troponin Ic peak was lower [20], and ST segment elevation was much less frequent (24%) [10]. In contrast, rhythm and conduction disorders, including atrial fibrillation and left bundle branch block were more frequent [21]. Patients with T2MI had higher GRACE scores than T1MI patients, and in-hospital mortality was twice as high [10]. Surprisingly, time from symptoms onset to admission was shorter for T2MI patients, despite the less frequency of ST segment elevation. One explanation could be the more severe clinical presentation, especially the more frequent acute heart failure, resulting in a faster alerting time and a prompter medical support. Our findings are also consistent with retrospective studies for some of the leading causes of T2MI ...

He was 70 with critical aortic stenosis and ejection fraction of 10%, coronary artery disease and history of 5-vessel bypass in 2001, a history of Stage D colon cancer with lung mets resected 18 months ago, obesity, diabetes mellitus, chronic renal insufficiency and was recently extubated after a failed aortic valvuloplasty. He later developed a wide complex tachycardia at 150 beats per minute for which I was asked to consult. The SVT looked just like his underlying left bundle branch block and would start and stop - usually with a PAC. He was administered 2.5mg metoprolol intravenously and loaded with Amiodarone. His SVT became a non-issue thereafter ...
The left anterior division of the left bundle branch in AVSDs is increased in length and has fewer fibers than normal. The left posterior division is shorter than normal and provides small branches to the posterobasal wall of the left ventricle. These features of the left bundle branch result in early activation of the posterobasal left ventricular wall and in delayed activation of the anterior superior wall (3), anatomic and electrophysiologic characteristics that have long been regarded as explanations for the left-axis deviation and depolarization patterns of AVSDs.. Why then did Hakacova et al. (5), in this issue of iJACC, propose a new explanation, namely that leftward deviation of the QRS axis in AVSDs is the result of (correlates with) an imbalance in the positions of left ventricular papillary muscles? Papillary muscle locations relative to the interventricular septum and left ventricular free wall are examples of recent clinical interest in the positions of these structures.. The mitral ...
Electrocardiogram, white blood cell count, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. An electrocardiogram (ECG) is the most useful direct test available. Approximately 50% of acute MIs show unequivocal changes on the first ECG. Another 30% have abnormalities that might be due to acute infarct but that are not diagnostic, because the more specific changes are masked or obscured by certain major conduction irregularities such as bundle-branch block or by previous digitalis therapy. About 20% do not show significant ECG changes, and this occasionally happens even in patients who otherwise have a typical clinical and laboratory picture. Ordinary general laboratory tests cannot be used to diagnose acute infarction, although certain tests affected by tissue damage give abnormal results in the majority of patients. In classic cases a polymorphonuclear leukocytosis in the range of 10,000-20,000/mm3 (10-20 Ч 109 /L) begins 12-24 hours after onset of symptoms. Leukocytosis generally lasts between 1 and 2 ...
Methods for detecting acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were compared in a prospective study of 726 patients with pain presumed to be caused by ischemia that lasted 30 minutes or longer and was associated with electrocardiographic changes (ST-segment deviation greater than or equal to 0.1 mV and/or new Q waves or left bundle branch block).

ARHS presents in young and middle age patients with ventricular dysrhythmia and left bundle branch block and occasionally sudden death. Males are three times more often affected than females and there is usually a strong family history. MR is the preferred imaging modality to confirm the diagnosis. T1 hyperintensity in the right ventricular outlet tract corresponds to fat and is associated with a higher incidence of inducible tachycardia. Cinegraphic imaging helps determine right ventricular function and wall motion abnormalities. Treatment includes anti-arrhythmic drugs, ablation, defibrillator and/or ventriculotomy. The risk of death is 1% per year.. ...

Doctors give unbiased, trusted information on the use of Stress Test for Ischemia: Dr. Hammoud on apical ischemia stress test: Most hearts have physiologic apical thinning which can sometimes be misinterpreted on nuclear stress test images. In addition, stress test images in patients with left bundle branch block can appear as septal ischemia if exercise stress is done rather than pharmacologic. The fact that both the apex and septum are involved in your case make it more likely to be real ischemia probably in lad.
Alteration in ventricular repolarization occurs during changes in ventricular activation as may occur with ventricular pacing, bundle branch block and various arrhythmias. This may result in T wave abnormalities which persist following cessation of pacing, resolution of bundle branch block or resolution of arrhythmia. Such changes may be confused with ischemia. The phenomenon, known as cardiac memory, is reviewed here in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine. ...

For your collection, we present another interesting set of ECGs from Paramedic Erik Testerman. They are from a 48 year old man who presented responsive only to painful stimuli, with deep, rapid (Kussmauls) respirations. His blood glucose in the field read as HIGH - too high for the glucometer to register a number. He was treated with 3 large-bore IVs, 2 liters of NSS IV, O2. At the hospital, his blood glucose again registered as HIGH on the glucometer, arterial O2 was 90%, CO2 15 (low), pH 6.8 (acidotic), HCO3 -2 (depleted). His serum potassium was 7.0 ( greater than 5.5 is high ). We do not have the rest of his chemistry panel.. The first ECG, at 5:59 am, shows some signs of early hyperkalemia. One of these signs is wide QRS, at .188 sec (normal is less than .12). This ECG even meets the criteria for LBBB, as noted in the machines interpretation, but the widening is more likely due to the high potassium. There is a right axis deviation. Left axis deviation is more likely in LBBB. LBBB ...

INTRODUCTION: Loss-of-function mutations in the SCN5A gene encoding the cardiac sodium channel are responsible for Brugada syndrome (BS) and also for progressive cardiac conduction disease (inherited Lenègre disease). In an attempt to clarify the frontier between these two entities, we have characterized cardiac conduction defect and its evolution with aging in a cohort of 78 patients carrying a SCN5A mutation linked to Brugada syndrome. METHODS AND RESULTS: Families were included in the study if a SCN5A mutation was identified in a BS proband and if at least two family members were mutation carriers. Sixteen families met the study criteria, representing 78 carriers. Resting ECG showed a spontaneous BS ECG pattern in 28 of 78 (36%) gene carriers. Intraventricular conduction anomalies were identified in 59 of 78 gene carriers including complete (17) or incomplete (24) right bundle branch block, right bundle branch block plus hemiblock (6), left bundle branch block (1), hemiblock (1), and parietal block

Left dominant arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (LDAC) is a rare condition characterised by progressive fibrofatty replacement of the myocardium of the left ventricle (LV) in combination with ventricular arrhythmias of LV origin. A thirty-five-year-old male was referred for evaluation of recurrent sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) of 200 bpm and right bundle branch block (RBBB) morphology. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed late gadolinium enhancement distributed circumferentially in the epicardial layer of the LV free wall myocardium including the rightward portion of the interventricular septum (IVS). The clinical RBBB VT was reproduced during the EP study. Ablation at an LV septum site with absence of abnormal electrograms and a suboptimum pacemap rendered the VT of clinical morphology noninducible. Three other VTs, all of left bundle branch block (LBBB) pattern, were induced by programmed electrical stimulation. The regions corresponding to abnormal electrograms were identified
Indirect evidence of independent atrial activity Capture beat Occasionally an atrial impulse may cause ventricular depolarisation via the normal conduction system. The resulting QRS complex occurs earlier than expected and is narrow. indd 25 conduct normally, thus making a diagnosis of supraventricular tachycardia with aberrancy unlikely. Capture beats are uncommon, and though they confirm a diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia, their absence does not exclude the diagnosis. 8 Capture beat. 9 Fusion beat. 14 s). Consequently, this arrhythmia is commonly misdiagnosed as a supraventricular tachycardia. The QRS complexes have a right bundle branch block pattern, often with a small Q wave rather than primary R wave in lead V1 and a deep S wave in lead V6. When the tachycardia originates from the posterior fascicle the frontal plane axis of the QRS complex is deviated to the left; when it originates from the anterior fascicle, right axis deviation is seen. Right ventricular outflow tract tachycardia ...

Paper Survival with Cardiac-Resynchronization Therapy in Mild Heart Failure Presenter MD Summary BACKGROUND The Multicenter Automatic Defibrillator Implantation Trial with Cardiac Resynchro-nization Therapy (MADIT-CRT) showed that early intervention with cardiac-resyn-chronization therapy with a defibrillator (CRT-D) in patients with an electrocardio-graphic pattern showing left bundle-branch block was associated with a significant reduction in heart-failure events over…
QRS axis 80 Interpretation: Abnormal ECG. Sinus rhythm with frequent unifocal PVCs. First degree AV block. Borderline left atrial abnormality. Left axis deviation. Left anterior fascicular block. Right bundle branch block with secondary repolarization abnormalities. Possible left ventricular hypertrophy. The ECG documents trifascicular block. In ER the patient had periods of high degree AV block (several non-conducted P waves). He underwent permanent pacemaker implantation (VVIR) with active fixation lead. Few positions of the lead in the RV were explored before satisfactory capture was found probably because of presence of scar for previous myocardial infarction.

We describe four members of the same family with a very similar ECG pattern characterized by conduction defects (right bundle branch block, frequent left anterior hemiblock, atrial hypertrophy, and sometimes severe nodal dysfunction) contrasting with a short PR interval. Significant clinical events were reported only after 60 years of age. A mutation in the γ2 subunit of the AMP activated protein kinase gene (PRKAG2) was identified in the four members of the family, with an autosomal dominant inheritance. The phenotype observed in this family appears different from that previously described as associated with this gene as neither left ventricular hypertrophy nor Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome was present. These findings extend the phenotype associated with the PRKAG2 gene and emphasize an additional cause of familial conduction defect.. ...
Fifteen dialysis-dependent patients with HF were implanted with CRT. Twenty percent of the subjects were women. The mean EF was 21 ± 7%, 53% had a left bundle branch block, and 67% had an ischemic cardiomyopathy. Eighty-seven percent of the patients had CRT with defibrillator. By 6-month follow-up, one third of the patients had died. At 3 years, Kaplan-Meier modeling predicted a 31% incidence of HF hospitalization, 100% incidence of hospitalization for any cause, 73% mortality, and 82% incidence of HF hospitalization or death. Patients on dialysis did not demonstrate a significant improvement in EF or LV diameters.. ...
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) with biventricular (BV) pacing is an established therapy in approximately two-thirds of symptomatic heart failure (HF) patients (P) with left bundle branch block (LBBB). The aim of this study was to evaluate left atrial (LA) conduction delay (LACD) and left ventricular (LV) conduction delay (LVCD) using pre-implantational transesophageal electrocardiography (ECG) in sinus rhythm (SR) CRT responder (R) and non-responder (NR). Methods: SR HF P (n=52, age 63.6±10.4 years; 6 females, 46 males) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3.0±0.2, 24.4±7.1 % LV ejection fraction and 171.2±37.6 ms QRS duration (QRSD) were measured by bipolar filtered transesophageal LA and LV ECG recording with hemispherical electrodes (HE) TO catheter (Osypka AG, Rheinfelden, Germany). LACD was measured between onset of P-wave in the surface ECG and onset of LA deflection in the LA ECG. LVCD was measured between onset of QRS in the surface ECG and onset of LV deflection in ...
Background: In recent years, catheter ablation has been widely used in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Radiofrequency ablation has long been standard of care, whereas cryoballoon ablation has emerged as a new alternative for the treatment of paroxysmal AF. The present study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency ablation and cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal AF. Subjects and Methods: This retrospective nonrandomized controlled study consecutively enrolled 582 patients with paroxysmal AF who underwent radiofrequency ablation or cryoballoon ablation for the first time in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from September 2014 to October 2018. The enrolled patients were divided into four groups according to the ablation energy source used and instruments: normal saline irrigation catheter group (Group A), contact force-sensing catheter group (Group B), first-generation cryoballoon group (Group C), and second-generation cryoballoon group (Group D). The ...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) can restore normal cardiac function in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and an extended QRS duration. The 7-year follow-up of patients with mild heart failure and left bundle branch block who received CRT with a defibrillator (CRT-D) are reported in a new paper and were presented at the ACC 2014 Scientific Sessions.
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPARalpha) plays a major role in the control of cardiac energy metabolism. The role of PPARalpha on cardiac functions was evaluated by using PPARalpha knockout (PPARalpha -/-) mice. Hemodynamic parameters by sphygmomanometric measurements show that deletion of PPARalpha did not affect systolic blood pressure and heart rate. Echocardiographic measurements demonstrated reduced systolic performance as shown by the decrease of left ventricular fractional shortening in PPARalpha -/- mice. Telemetric electrocardiography revealed neither atrio- nor intraventricular conduction defects in PPARalpha -/- mice. Also, heart rate, P-wave duration and amplitude, and QT interval were not affected. However, the amplitude of T wave from PPARalpha -/- mice was lower compared with wild-type (PPARalpha +/+) mice. When the myocardial function was measured by ex vivo Langendorffs heart preparation, basal and beta-adrenergic agonist-induced developed forces were ...
Heart Failure (HF) with systolic dysfunction is associated with a poor prognosis in the long term despite the use of many effective drug treatment in reducing morbidity and mortality. In this context, cardiac resynchronization (CR), either alone or combined with a defibrillator function, has improved by about 30 to 40% of morbidity and mortality in this population of patients with heart failure. The information on the CR are now well established for patients with stage III-IV NYHA (New York Heart Association), with systolic dysfunction (EF ≤ 35%), presence of left bundle branch block wide (≥ 120 ms) and when medical treatment is optimal. As a result, the number of implanted devices continue to grow even if the implant procedures of cardiac resynchronization devices (CRD) are long, difficult and associated with significant complications with a risk of reoperation estimated between 10 and 15% . One of the most feared during implantation devices stimulation or defibrillation risk is represented ...
I was thinking anticholinergic as well. In addition to the prolonged QT, he seems to have a short (or per the computer, non-existant) PR segment. I dont see a delta wave though. Also, there may be a partial right bundle branch block, likely rate related. My reading is sinus tachycardia. Tox differential is pretty broad including sympathomimetics, anticholinergics, caffiene, as Martin mentioned thyroid storm, bath salts. The history and physical point to anticholinergic toxicity; diphenhydramine is cheap and legal OTC. Instead of benzos which would improve the tachycardia and agitation by sedating the patient, you could try physostigmine which may clear up his altered behavior. ReplyDelete ...

Beta-blocker therapy has been proven to benefit patients with heart failure, arrhythmias, hypertension, or unstable angina. In some studies, early use of beta blockers has been associated with a 25 percent reduction in mortality rates for one or two days after suspected acute myocardial infarction (MI). The COMMIT (ClOpidogrel and Metoprolol in Myocardial Infarction Trial) Collaborative Group aimed to assess the risks and benefits of adding early intravenous metoprolol (Lopressor) followed by daily oral metoprolol (Toprol XL) to standard therapies for acute MI.. Investigators randomized 45,852 patients who presented to participating Chinese hospitals because of symptoms of acute MI accompanied by left bundle branch block or S-T elevation or depression. Exclusion criteria included patients scheduled for primary coronary intervention and those with contraindications to beta blockers. Participants were assigned randomly to receive intravenous followed by oral administration of metoprolol or ...
This complex interaction between the xenobiotic and patients physiology and genetic diversity is exemplified by the Brugada syndrome. This congenital cardiac channelopathy (Chaps. 15 and 57) predisposes to sudden cardiac death due to polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Brugada syndrome is characterized by an atypical right bundle branch pattern with a characteristic cove-shaped ST segment elevation in leads V1 to V3 of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in the absence or structural heart disease, ischemia, or electrolyte disturbances).10,83 This typical type 1 Brugada ECG pattern is shown in Fig. 15-12. However, this distinctive ECG pattern can be covert30 and only unmasked by sleep, fever, bradycardia, or by xenobiotics such as vagotonic medications or class I antidysrhythmics (sodium channel blockers).4,59 The reason for this variable and dynamic response to xenobiotics is the heterogeneous genetic basis of the disorder. Mutations in ...
Atrial fibrillation is a disorder of heart rate and rhythm. Also commonly abbreviated as AF or Afib, it occurs when the hearts two small, upper chambers (atria) quiver rapidly and empty blood into the hearts lower chambers (ventricles) in a disorganized manner instead of beating effectively. Blood that isnt pumped completely out of the atria when the heart beats may pool and clot. If a piece of a clot enters the bloodstream, it may lodge in the brain causing a stroke. Causes of atrial fibrillation include dysfunction of the sinus node (the hearts pacemaking area in the right atrium), coronary artery disease, rheumatic heart disease, hypertension and hyperthyroidism. ...

This months EKG contender, Brugada syndrome (BS), is one of those findings that will elude many if not most EPs. This is a relatively new and rare entity, but one that is currently the object of much interest to the erudite cardiologists who study such things. This syndrome is not an expected pickup by ED clinicians, at least not yet, but if youre perceptive enough to spot it, you will certainly look like a star ...
Normal electrical activation of the heart begins pacemaker activity in the sinoatrial node, and the wave of activation spreads through the right and left atria (Fig. 493-1). In the right atrium the wave of depolarization passes inferiorly, and the left atrium is activated via Bachmann bundle, which also triggers an inferiorly directed activation front. These activation fronts generate a potential that is detected on the body surface as the P wave. Any force that has magnitude and direction is termed a vector and can be represented by an arrow with direction and magnitude proportional to the force. The impulse is delayed at the atrioventricular (AV) node, producing the PR interval. This allows ventricular filling to be completed before ventricular contraction begins. Beyond the AV node, the impulse moves rapidly down the bundle of His into the right and left bundle branches. As the impulses pass down the septum, they activate septal muscle predominantly from the left side, so that the initial ...

BACKGROUND: Myocardial infarction (MI) in the absence of electrocardiographic ST-segment elevation or new bundle branch block is the cause of hospitalization for a large and steadily increasing proportion of patients with acute ischemic chest pain. Despite its prevalence, the common demographic features, current hospital-based management, and short-term clinical outcome among patients with non-ST-segment elevation MI remain poorly defined. METHODS: A total of 183 113 patients with non-ST-segment elevation MI were identified in the National Registry of Myocardial Infarction database. Using a validated model, 43 928 patients (24.0%) were retrospectively placed in major, 34 917 (19.1%) in intermediate, and 104 268 (56.9%) in minor severity clinical event categories that included hospital death, recurrent myocardial ischemia, and nonfatal recurrent MI. RESULTS: The administration of widely available and universally recommended pharmacologic therapies, including aspirin and beta-adrenergic blocking agents,
