A 75-year-old-male patient with dual chamber pacemaker presented with a bizarre EKG showing a unique spike within the QRS complex. Apparent PR interval was 160 ms and effective atrio-right ventricular delay was 210 ms due to right bundle branch block. Sensed AV delay was set at 180 ms causing pseudofusions. Insights regarding cardiac pacing are presented.

intrOdUctiOn Reading EKGs is an integral skill in Emergency Medicine, especially given the fact that determining the presence and amount of ST segment elevation (STE) is one of the key factors to initiating fibrinolytic eligibility. STE is generally measured in reference to the J point (the end of the QRS segment and the beginning of the ST segment). However, it may not be clear in clinical pra...

THE INCBEASING COMPLEXITIES of modern surgery have been accompanied by parallel developments in the realm of anaesthesiology. Today it would be very rare for a patient to be denied surgery because of the possibility that he might not tolerate anaesthesia. Our increasing boldness in the management of the poorrisk patient :is in large part due to the better methods of assessing the patient's cond...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the early prevalence of various electrocardiographic (EKG) abnormalities in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and to evaluate possible associations between repolarization changes (increased corrected QT [QTc] and QT dispersion [QTd]) and clinical and laboratory variables, including the anti-Ro/SSA level and specificity (52 or 60 kd). METHODS We studied adu...
