Hi all here’s a pdf with more detail and all the references from my talk at the Developing EM 2018 Conference in Fiji Such a great conference and amazing people! https://developingem.com
A gentleman in his 60s comes in feeling a bit rubbish. There’s no chest pain but he’s a bit presyncopal and feels washed out. Of course an ECG is done Wowsers… What is it and why? What would you check? How would you treat it? So you provide a vague vagal stimulus and this happens: a short time later this happens… So there you go, not something you see every day, Atrial Flutter with 1:1 transmission, devolving into 2:1 […]
A 69 M presents with episodes of presyncope. The first ECG is done and handed to you. You have a quick look and mutter something about 2nd degree AV Block at 2:1 and wander off to the trauma code. When you get back, you decide to have a better look and print out a longer strip of the central monitor In this rhythm strip, you can clearly see the p waves catching up to and then overtaking the QRS – […]

I know this is a bit controversial, I would love to see what you think. Login to comment!

Hi all STEMI equivalents can be tricky and a source of ED-Cardiology friction. I’ve gone through my collection to find some great examples, and I thought it might be a good idea to refresh some of the new kids on the block signs of coronary artery occlusion . click on the ECGs for big pictures. ECG 1: This ECG is of a 39 year old man and clearly has STE in leadV 1-V3, although its the upsloping variety in V2-3. the TWs […]
