AV block: 2nd degree, “high-grade” AV block
Second degree heart block (2nd degree AV block) with a P:QRS ratio of 3:1 or higher, producing an extremely slow ventricular rate.

Fritz de Quervain
Fritz de Quervain (1868 – 1940) was an Swiss surgeon. He described the chronic tendonitis that bears his name (De Quervain disease)

Focal Atrial Tachycardia (FAT)
Atrial tachycardia is a form of supraventricular tachycardia, originating within the atria but outside of the sinus node

Anterior Myocardial Infarction
Anterior STEMI usually results from occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and carries the poorest prognosis of all infarct territories
Accelerated Junctional Rhythm (AJR)
AJR occurs when the rate of an AV junctional pacemaker exceeds that of the sinus node. Seen in digoxin toxicity and myocarditis
Accelerated Idioventricular Rhythm (AIVR)
AIVR -- benign rhythm that occurs when rate of an ectopic ventricular pacemaker exceeds sinus node. Often seen in reperfusion phase following anterior STEMI
