Patient's clinical data: 66-year-old white man.
Amongst the computer's several statements was the interpretation of "Undetermined rhythm". To the computer's statement, the reviewing cardiologist added the freehand text of "Abnormally slow" but failed to provide a diagnosis.
What is accounting for this pattern?
Patient's clinical data: Unknown aged white man.
What well-known eponym can technically be applied to this 12-lead ECG? HINT: It takes on a somewhat unusual form here.
Patient's clinical data: 81-year-old black man
The computer interpreted this ECG as:
Sinus bradycardia 1st degree AV block
ST abnormality, possible digitalis effect
Abnormal ECG
When compared with ECG of (expunged)
PR interval has increased
This week, in addition to my own blog, I'm going to feature a guest case study by Guru member Vince DiGiulio, EMT-CC. This past Monday, Vince messaged me (along with Dr. Ken Grauer) on Facebook and requested my input and opinion on these serial ECGs. With Vince's blessing, he gave me permission to use any of his original 12-lead ECGs here on the Guru. Of his 6 ECGs, I've decided to post 4 of them here.
