Acute inferior infarction

Jason's Blog: ECG Challenge of the Week for April 7th - 14th.

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.

Jason's Blog: ECG Challenge of the Week for Sept. 23-30.

Patient's clinical data:
75-year-old white man who presented to the emergency department.  The patient was ventricularly paced on an emergent basis and the indication was probable complete A-V block with an ineffective junctional escape rhythm.  I don't believe this patient survived the admission of this hospital visit.
