Jason's Blog: ECG Challenge for the months of September and October, 2013.

Patient's clinical data:  56-year old man.

At Dawn's request, this month's ECG is laying down the foundation for a topic she wanted me to eventually talk about on the ECG Guru.  On this ECG, I'm not just looking for the obvious disturbance of rhythm.  This type of ECG is literally begging for a laddergram to help reveal the mechanism responsible for a couple of very subtle and rare findings.

Product Review: R-CAT by EKG Concepts

When I was a young Emergency Dept. nurse, we had posters on the wall from Dr. Marriott with advanced ECG concepts on them.  We strived to learn 12-Lead interpretation just so we could understand the information on the posters - especially how to differentiate the different types of wide complex tachycardias.  It was an accomplishment to be one of the ones who could apply the information from the posters to our ECGs.

Oops

We posted a rhythm strip of complete heart block  today ( accidentally posted upside down) that was given to us years ago by a friend who was a decile of the late and great Dr. Marriott. Our friend and colleague, Jason Roediger, who has a photographic memory for ECGs, recognized it as having been published by Dr. Marriott. At the ECG Guru, all of our content is copyright-free, and we would never intentionally publish a previously- published ECG. In fact, most of the ECGs on this site come from Dawn's and Jason's own practice, or are donated by friends from their own experiences.

Summer Break

You may have noticed that Dawn's contributions have not been strictly weekly as of late.  My apologies, but we have been in the process of moving 800 miles from Florida, USA to Tennessee, USA.  For our family, this involves moving quite a few pets.  Tommy the pony went first, and is now in Tennessee.  We are about to move the rest of our pets and all of our belongings.  This is a time and energy-consuming undertaking which has been complicated by several adventures, the worst of which is the demise of the family car!

Jason's Blog: ECG Challenge for the month of June, 2013.

Unfortunately, I have no available clinical data on this patient.  Merely looking for an interpretation of the ECG in it's raw form.

Must See: Video Presentation by Dr. K Wang on Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

 Dr. Smith, on his ECG Blog, has posted a must-see video presentation by famous ECG guru, Dr. K. Wang, discussing how helpful PVCs can be.  Dr. Smith's blog is one of the best out there for ECG fans, and Dr. Wang is a wonderful teacher.  The ECG Guru highly recommends both.

Jason is taking a break (everyone needs one now and then).  April's ECG will appear through May, as well.  It's a good one!
