The diagnosis is normal sinus rhythm, interpolated premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in a trigeminal pattern, retrograde concealed conduction, intraventricular conduction delay, and old inferior ...

Tachycardia describes when the heart beats faster than normal. Sinus rhythm with tachycardia occurs when the sinus node fires electrical impulses abnormally quickly. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia ...

Q: I was feeling lightheaded and having palpitations, went to the ER and was admitted me to the ICU. They said I had a run of ventricular tachycardia. What is this? A: The heartbeat is controlled by ...

Have you ever heard the term 'sinus arrhythmia' and wondered what it means? You might have come across it during a routine check-up or on an Electrocardiogram (ECG) and felt concerned. The word ...

Sinus tachycardia is the most common and often neglected rhythm disturbance encountered in clinical practice. Whether appropriate or not, it is often associated with troublesome symptoms, and ...

Sinus rhythm is the term for the regular pattern of heartbeats driven by the heart’s natural pacemaker, the sinus node. Variations like sinus tachycardia (fast heart rate) and sinus bradycardia (slow ...

This ECG is challenging. The rhythm starts as normal sinus rhythm with a right bundle branch block, then a wide-complex tachycardia develops in a left bundle branch block pattern. The important thing ...

In the last few weeks, the Skeptical Cardiologist has had a run on with patients with premature atrial contractions (PACs). I've discussed in detail premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) here and ...

A sinus arrhythmia refers to a problem with the sinus node of the heart. This controls the rhythm of the heart and can be fast (sinus tachycardia) or slow (sinus bradycardia). This article looks at ...
