At this time of posting, I currently have no clinical data for this patient. This ECG is of interest because of its arrhythmic and nonarrhythmic elements.
I can think of at least two possible explanations for the mechanism of this rhythm and both would benefit from being illustrated by a laddergram.
One mechanism is rather exotic and has not been previously seen here on this website or discussed in the various FB forums.
These are two 12-lead ECGs that I performed on two completely different patients several years apart.
Patient's clinical data (Top ECG):
57-year-old black man
Patient's clinical data (Bottom ECG):
67-year-old black man
Are both of these ECGs showing the same rhythmic pattern?
Patient's clinical data:
73-year-old white man.
I performed this ECG earlier this year in an outpatient clinic.
Patient's clinical data: 85-year-old white man; asymptomatic.
Questions?
(1.) What rhythm is this tracing showing?
(2.) What clue/sign is used to differentiate between the two anomalous beats (i.e., 4th and 6th beats). HINT: It's named after a part of a certain animal's anatomy.
This is a "Routine" resting 12-lead ECG I performed on a patient several months ago in the Outpatient ECG Lab.
PATIENT CLINICAL DATA:
72-year-old white man; asymptomatic; resting comfortably in recumbent position.
This is an exercise in "anomalous" beats.
QUESTION:
(1.) Specifically, what are 3rd, 4th, and 10th beats?
