Jason's Blog: ECG Challenge of the month of November, 2013.

Submitted by jer5150 on Sun, 11/17/2013 - 09:43

Sticking with the same general theme from my last ECG Challenge for the months of September and October, 2013.  This is more of a back-to-basics for some readers but will still challenge others.  No information for this patient other than it was an adult.  How would you interpret this?

Jason's Blog: ECG Challenge of the Week for March 10th - 17th. Mutual mimics

Submitted by jer5150 on Sat, 03/09/2013 - 10:31

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?

Jason's Blog: ECG Challenge of the Week for Dec. 23rd - 30th.

Submitted by jer5150 on Sat, 12/22/2012 - 14:08

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?
