This combination of findings is termed a "trifascicular block" with the third fascicle referring to the AV node causing a first degree AV block. This does indeed put a patient at risk for a higher ...
There is no definite P wave activity on this ECG (although some may be suspected, but the P wave amplitude is extrodinarily small). This would indicated a junctional origin of the rhythm. See the ...
Researchers have developed an AI tool that can help doctors predict who might develop a potentially fatal heart condition, just from an ECG. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news ...
If you are a nurse, doctor or other medical professional that deals with cardiac issues or ECG readings, you owe it to yourself and your patients to take an EKG interpretation course. An EKG ...
A team of researchers from Tsinghua University and Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital has introduced a cutting-edge method to improve the interpretation of electrocardiogram (ECG) data. Their ...
First-degree heart block is the mildest type and often requires no treatment. Third-degree heart block is the most severe and often needs a pacemaker to regulate the heartbeat. Many different causes ...
Heart block is a disruption in the electrical signals that control your heart. Your heart depends on a steady flow of electrical signals that start in the heart’s upper chambers (atria). The signals ...
Complete heart block means that there’s a complete separation of electrical activity between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. Without prompt medical attention, it can be fatal. Your heart ...
Sometimes, an abnormal EKG reading is a normal variation in a person’s heart rhythm. In other cases, it may be due to an underlying heart condition or a reaction to medication. An electrocardiogram ...
