Patient's clinical data: 67-year-old white man with a history of COPD and CAD.
Unfortunately, due to the advanced age of this ECG (29-years ago), many details of the device will have to be left to speculation. I'm unable to retrieve any information about the patient other than the two diagnoses above.
How many different things can you spot in this 12-lead ECG?
This is one of five consecutive serial ECGs that I performed several years ago on a patient in our Outpatient ECG Lab. The patient was asymptomatic and the ECG was ordered as "Routine" by the patient's Primary Care Provider (PCP). I deliberately "froze" the tracing on the screen and captured this image because I wanted to show a transition on the ECG.
No clinical patient data available.
What does this tracing show? Choose the correct answer from the list below.
Patient's clinical data: 76-year-old white man admitted to the ICU.
Hint: In Fig. 2, there is an extremely subtle clue on that ECG that I almost didn't notice. Laddergrams will be provided for both of these as the end of the week.
What is going on here?
Patient clinical data: 68-year-old black man.
Question:
(1.) What "pseudo" clue in Fig. 1 clinches the source of the mechanism seen in Fig. 2?
