First-of-its-kind heart pump implanted in Australia, based on a breakthrough wave membrane technology. Unlike existing devices, CorWave’s technology does not eliminate the effects of the native ...

Ventricular ectopic beats (VEBs) are commonly seen in daily clinical practice. They are largely asymptomatic but can cause upsetting symptoms in some patients. In normal hearts, their occurrence is ...

Premature atrial contraction occurs with atrial ectopics that have altered the shape of the P wave. Premature ventricular contractions create ectopic beats or a QRS complex that occurs earlier than ...

Ectopic heartbeats are when the heart adds or skips a beat. Ectopic beats are common, not a cause for concern, and anxiety, smoking, or pregnancy can link to them. Learn more here.

Due to the variability of ventricular rates for atrial flutter, no rhythms will be eliminated from the checklist based upon this criterion. EKG Category 3: P-wave criteria ...

Specifically, the P wave signifies atrial depolarisation, the QRS complex reflects ventricular depolarisation, and the T wave mirrors ventricular repolarization (1). By extracting these waves and ...

Focusing on the morphology of the P-waves is critical for identifying PACs. As P-waves for PACs originate from an ectopic focus, they will look different from the P-waves in the underlying rhythm.

While it is possible to detect an epsilon wave in ventricular tachycardia, it's important to consider retrograde P waves when a deflection repeatedly follows a wide complex, they added.

Figure 3. ECG A. Courtesy of Philip J. Podrid, MD. Discussion of ECG A There are P waves (+) with regular PP intervals and a rate of 85 beats/min. The P waves have a normal morphology; they are ...

The S wave in lead V2 ( [ ) is 22 mm, and the R wave in lead V5 is 30 mm ( ] ) which fulfills one of the criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH): S V2 + R V5 ≥ 35 mm. The ST-T wave ...

BACKGROUND: The consequences of exercise-induced premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) in asymptomatic individuals remain unclear. This study aimed to assess the association between PVC burdens ...

Although this may occur spontaneously, ventricular ectopic beats, ventricular pacing, vagal manoeuvres or the administration of adenosine may all assist in isolating the tachycardia P-wave. The sinus ...
