203 Trifascicular block: RBBB, LAFB, and mobitz II 2nd degree AV blockA nice example of trifascicular block: Lead V1 shows RBBB; Lead II is mostly negative with an rS morphology suggesting left anterior fascicular block. Since Mobitz II 2nd degree AV block is more often located in the bundle branch system, the only location left for this block is the left posterior ...Knowledge Weavers ECG
204 2nd degree AV block, type I, with junctional escapesJunctional escapes are passive, protective events whenever the heart rate slows below that of the escape mechanism. In this example of 2nd degree AV block, type I, the escapes occur following the non-conducted P waves. Arrows indicate the position of the P waves. Note that the escape beats have a...Knowledge Weavers ECG
205 Atrial flutter with 2:1 AV conductionAtrial flutter with 2:1 AV block is one of the most frequently missed ECG rhythm diagnoses because the flutter waves are often hard to find. In this example two flutter waves for each QRS are best seen in lead III and V1. The ventricular rate at 150 bpm should always prompt us to consider atrial fl...Knowledge Weavers ECG
206 Identification of PVC's and PAC'sPVC's usually stick out like sore thumbs; PAC's are often difficult to see because they are hidden in the preceding ST-T wave. The PVC in this example is mostly negative in lead V1 suggesting RV origin; i.e., most of activation is moving in posterior direction towards the left ventricle.Knowledge Weavers ECG
207 AV dissociation by defaultThe nonconducted PAC's set up a long pause which is terminated by ventricular escapes; note the wider QRS morphology of the escape beats indicating their ventricular origin. Incomplete AV dissociation occurs during the escape beats, since the atria are still under the control of the sinus node.Knowledge Weavers ECG
208 Lead error: V1 and V3 are transposed!In the precordial leads the V1 and V3 chest electrodes are interchanged. Experienced ECG interpreters should be able to spot this lead placement error.Knowledge Weavers ECG

212 2nd degree AV block, type I with escapes and capturesOften in the setting of 2nd degree AV block the pauses caused by nonconducted P waves are long enough to enable escape pacemakers from the junction or ventricles to take over. This example illustrates junctional escapes, labled E and captures, labled C. Note that the PR intervals for the captures ...Knowledge Weavers ECG
213 Ventricular paced rhythm with retrograde wenckebachRetrograde atrial captures from a ventricular paced rhythm are occurring with increasing R-P intervals; i.e., retrograde Wenckebach. The ladder diagram indicates that after the blocked retrograde event, a single sinus P wave is seen dissociated from the ventricular rhythm.Wenckebach AV BlockKnowledge Weavers ECG
214 Nonconducted PAC's: an unusual bigeminyOccasionally nonconducted PAC's can create interesting rhythms. In this example every other sinus beat is followed by an early, nonconducted PAC. The resulting pause sets up a bigeminal rhythm. Note the distortion of the T waves caused by the nonconducted PAC's.Knowledge Weavers ECG
215 Atrial flutter with 2:1 AV conduction: leads II, III, V1In leads II and III, the one of the flutter waves occurs at the end of the QRS complex and might be mistaken for part of the QRS itself; i.e., the S wave. In lead V1, the two flutter waves for every QRS are more easily identified.Knowledge Weavers ECG

218 Diagram: type I vs. type II 2nd degree AV blockIn type I 2nd degree AV block the PR progressively lengthens until a nonconducted P wave occurs. The PR gets longer by smaller and smaller increments; this results in gradual shortening of the RR intervals. The RR interval of the pause is usually less than the two preceding RR intervals. The RR i...Knowledge Weavers ECG
219 PAC's with RBBB aberrationThese PAC's, indicated by arrows, enter the ventricles and find the right bundle refractory. They therefore conduct with RBBB aberrancy. In most normal hearts the right bundle recovery time is longer than the left bundle's; most aberrancy, therefore, has aRBBB morphology. In some diseased hearts t...Knowledge Weavers ECG
220 RBBB + LAFB = bifascicular blockThe RBBB is diagnosed by the wide QRS with prominent anterior (e.g., V1) and late rightward (e.g., I, V6) forces. The LAFB is recognized by the marked left axis deviation (-75 degrees) in the frontal plane, rS complexes in II, III, aVF, and the tiny q-wave in aVL.Knowledge Weavers ECG
221 Massage parlor gamesWhen unsure of the mechanism of a supraventricular tachycardia, carotid sinus massage may help make the diagnosis. In this example, carotid sinus massage causes marked AV block which permits easy recognition of the rapid, regular atrial flutter waves.Knowledge Weavers ECG
