The diagnosis is sinus rhythm with interpolated premature ventricular complexes, in a trigeminal pattern, with retrograde concealed conduction. The rhythm is irregular, but there is a repeating ...

The diagnosis is normal sinus rhythm, interpolated premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) in a trigeminal pattern, retrograde concealed conduction, intraventricular conduction delay, and old inferior ...

In the last few weeks, the Skeptical Cardiologist has had a run on with patients with premature atrial contractions (PACs). I've discussed in detail premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) here and ...

Sinus rhythm is the term for the regular pattern of heartbeats driven by the heart’s natural pacemaker, the sinus node. Variations like sinus tachycardia (fast heart rate) and sinus bradycardia (slow ...

Sinus arrhythmia is when your heart beats too slowly or too fast. The change of pace may happen when you breathe. This condition is common and usually benign. But, it could indicate an underlying ...

Patients with recent-onset atrial fibrillation commonly undergo immediate restoration of sinus rhythm by pharmacologic or electrical cardioversion. However, whether immediate restoration of sinus ...

Why has an otherwise healthy woman in her late 60s had repeated episodes of fainting and dizziness for the past several weeks? The woman presented to the emergency department immediately after one ...

Tachycardia describes when the heart beats faster than normal. Sinus rhythm with tachycardia occurs when the sinus node fires electrical impulses abnormally quickly. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia ...

Q: I was feeling lightheaded and having palpitations, went to the ER and was admitted me to the ICU. They said I had a run of ventricular tachycardia. What is this? A: The heartbeat is controlled by ...

A sinus arrhythmia refers to a problem with the sinus node of the heart. This controls the rhythm of the heart and can be fast (sinus tachycardia) or slow (sinus bradycardia). This article looks at ...
