What's the source of the unusual electrocardiogram (ECG) findings in a patient presenting with dizziness and limb weakness? That's the mystery posed in a recent case report. The diagnostic challenge ...
The rhythm in Figure 1 has a subtle pattern—a narrow QRS complex with alternating short and long R-R intervals, resulting in paired QRS complexes. Careful observation of V1 in Figure 2 reveals tiny ...
Not all atrial flutters demonstrate the typical "sawtooth" pattern. During the times of lesser conduction on this ECG, the flutter waves are more apparent. The atrial rate is organized at a rate of ...
When atrial flutter is seen with such a slow ventricular response (in this case, 9:1 conduction), there is concern for underlying complete heart block should the patient be restored to normal sinus ...
