ECG Case 200 Interpretation

This post is an answer to the ECG Case 200

  • Rate: 42/min
  • Rhythm:
    • Regular ventricular complexes
    • Irregular atrial activity
    • Complexes 3 & 4 sinus
  • Axis:
    • LAD (-50 deg)

  • Intervals:
    • PR – Normal (~180-200ms) for 3rd & 4th Complexes only
    • QRS – Prolonged (~120ms)
    • QT – 720ms (QTc Bazette ~ 600 ms)
  • Segments:
    • Slight down sloping ST Depression in V5-6
  • Additional:
    • T wave inversion in I, aVL, V1, V3-6
    • QRS Morphology RBBB Pattern
    • Differing QRS Morphology between complexes 1-2,5-7 and complexes 3-4
    • Difficult to map atrial activity given relative low voltage p wave
    • R wave progression abnormal across precordial leads
      • Possible V2 misplacement – terminal deflection QRS larger than V1&2 with positive T wave
Bifascicular block with variable sinus capture & high grade AV block

Interpretation

  • Intermittent trifascicular block, likely complete
    • Bifascicular block with variable sinus capture & high grade AV block
