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
Patient's clinical data: 67-year-old white man with a history of COPD and CAD.
Unfortunately, due to the advanced age of this ECG (29-years ago), many details of the device will have to be left to speculation. I'm unable to retrieve any information about the patient other than the two diagnoses above.
How many different things can you spot in this 12-lead ECG?
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.
Found this "gem" buried deep-down in the back of the vault and have wanted to share it for many months. Due to the impressive QRS voltage and overlapping waveforms, I initially debated on whether or not I should post this at 1/2-standard but in the end I decided to retain its original size. This ECG is from 27 years ago so I have very limited information, but this is what I do know.
