60 y/o male, c/o dizziness, nausea & vomiting

PMH: Of similar episodes under investigation by cardiologist, no other relevant medical information.

No observations provided on this p/t, this is just an exercise in 12-lead ECG interpretation…

Here’s a little help from me, please provide your ECG analysis. 

Rate:
Atrial: Unable to determine. 
Ventricular: 90-160 bpm.

Waves: P waves present: Difficult to identify, best seen in V2-3, appearance is fibrillation pattern, P waves NOT consistent, no relation to QRS, no Q waves present that are pathological, T waves are present with no significant abnormalities.

Intervals: P-R consistent, QRS: 0.16 secs, appearance: rSR’ in V1-2, consistent; QT interval 0.40 secs.

Axis: Quadrant:??? Please give your analysis…J Degrees -80 (aVF and Lead II mostly isoelectic slightly positive.

Hypertrophy: No atrial or ventricular detected.

Other info: Q waves none significant for AMI, no significant elevation, ST depression in V2, no possible drug effects noted.

  1. Afib+WPW? wide complex, irregular tachy.

  2. Prit says Atrial Fibrillation with also possible LBBB and certainly irregular rates.

  3. wide complex tach... irregular... RBBB
    ddx: AF+RBBB, AF+WPW, Multifocal atrial tachycardia+RBBB
    there is p waves but has different morphology.. no j wave so most propably MFAT+RBBB

    thanks for the v.interesting ECG

  4. i think it's an afib with bbb

  5. wide complex tachycardia...AF, RBBB pattern, T wave inversions in V1-3 could be RV strain pattern, prominent S in V5 and V6, LAFB. Thus, AF with RVH, LAFB

  6. LBBB(onde M,QRS LARGE)
