The regular arrhythmia occurring at the beginning of the electrocardiogram was identified as ventricular bigeminy. Single ventricular premature complexes (VPCs), as well as pairs and triplets of VPCs, ...
This is a narrow complex tachycardia with a rate of 124 beats/min. The QRS morphology and axis are normal. The QTc is prolonged, at 529 ms (normal, 390-450 ms for men). The underlying P waves appear ...
If you have bigeminy (bi-JEM-uh-nee), your heart doesn't beat in a normal pattern. After every routine beat, you have a beat that comes too early, or what's known as a premature ventricular ...
A healthy heart beats in a steady rhythm, with the upper and lower chambers beating in a synchronized and consistent pattern. After each heartbeat is a pause, and then a predictable heartbeat, and ...
Paired narrow QRS complexes, each preceded by a P wave, certainly raise the possibility of atrial bigeminy. But there are other causes of paired QRS complexes during sinus rhythm. One should look ...
A premature ventricular contraction occurs when a focus in the ventricle generates an action potential before the next scheduled sinoatrial nodal action potential. Ventricular bigeminy occurs when ...
The third and fourth complexes of this ECG show sinus bradycardia at about 50 beats per minute. The remainder of the tracing shows atrial bigeminy with a coupled aberrant atrial premature beat ...

What Causes Bigeminy and When Should You Worry?
Bigeminy is an irregular heart rhythm where every normal beat is followed by an abnormal one, often due to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). It can feel like skipped or extra beats, but in ...

There are clearly extra QRS complexes that are of different morphology compared to the QRS complexes with preceding p waves, ie, the sinus beats. The extra QRS complexes are broader and bigger ...
Bigeminy is the medical term for the sensation of the heart 'skipping a beat'. This occurs when the heart's rhythm becomes irregular. Irregular rhythms then affect how blood moves through the heart, ...
Dear Dr. Roach: Several months ago, I developed a case of a bigeminy heartbeat. My cardiologist prescribed metoprolol. At about the same time, I had reduced my intake of magnesium from about 50 per ...
