A single agent overdose causing AV blockade, QRS widening, and QT prolongation.... but reports of death only if QRS > 200ms. Which medication is this?
Category TOP 100 ECG
ECG Case 134
Crushing chest pain and diaphoresis. New inferior Q waves and T-wave inversion, yet this is a normal ECG. Can you explain why?
ECG Case 133
Chest pain, shock and ST elevation in aVR. The LAST place this patient needs to be is in the cath lab
ECG Case 132
A negative troponin, resolved chest pain, and a "normal" ECG does not exclude ACS requiring emergent intervention
ECG Case 131
An 88-year-old man with palpitations and a HR fixed at 150. This is not flutter or AVNRT -- can you explain why?
ECG Case 130
Yet another ED patient with SVT -- but there is one feature on this ECG that suggests a congenital structural abnormality, can you spot it?
ECG Case 129
A man in his 40s with exertional chest pain and a small troponin rise. Is this just LVH? Bedside echo gives us the answer
ECG Case 128
There are five features on this "normal" ECG that suggest impending inferior STEMI - can you spot them?
ECG Case 127
Can ST depression and T wave inversion in aVL be normal? Can BER cause reciprocal changes? Learn about using the QRS-T wave angle to answer these questions
ECG Case 126
A man in his 40s is brought in GCS 3. Can you interpret these ECG and echo abnormalities to appropriately guide management?
ECG Case 125
With worked examples in the next three posts, we look at ways to recognise early ECG features of OMI before waiting for a "STEMI" to evolve
ECG Case 124
A 24-year-old female presents following a syncopal episode. This case incorporates basic bedside echo into our ED work-up of syncope.
