Focal Atrial Tachycardia (FAT)
Atrial tachycardia is a form of supraventricular tachycardia, originating within the atria but outside of the sinus node
Tag ECG Diagnosis
Premature Atrial Complex (PAC)
Review of the atrial ectopics and premature atrial contractions (PACs) with ectopic pacemaking tissue within the atria
Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia (ARVD)
A review of the ECG features of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) AKA: arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD)
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
ECG Differential Diagnosis
EKG differential diagnosis. Differentials based on specific ECG findings. Book: ECGs for the Emergency Physician 1 and 2; LITFL ECG Library
High Lateral STEMI
ST elevation primarily localised to leads I and aVL, usually associated with reciprocal ST depression and T wave inversion in inferior leads

Brugada Syndrome - ECG abnormality with a high incidence of sudden death in patients with structurally normal hearts. Brugada - EKG Library
Lead reversal: Left arm/right arm
ECG features of Upper Limb Lead reversal - left arm/right arm lead reversal. Einthoven's triangle flips 180 degrees horizontally around an axis formed by lead aVF.
Ventricular Tachycardia – Monomorphic VT
