Very wide QRS complex
Width of the QRS complex in this ECG is about 200 ms. It is so wide that there is hardly any ST segment visible. The QRS merges into the T wave. One situation in which this occurs is severe hyperkalemia. But here the T wave are not tall and P waves are of reasonable amplitude, both against severe hyperkalemia. In severe hyperkalemia, P waves are flattened and disappear resulting in the so called sinoventricular conduction. Wide QRS in hyperkalemia merges with the tall T waves, producing a sine wave pattern, which is also absent here. Initial upstroke of the QRS is sharp in this ECG while the terminal slurring is very promi...

DM / DNB Cardiology Entrance Mock Test 8
This study found that though it is often associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), it can also occur in those without significant CAD. It was not specifically associated with disease of right coronary artery disease. This cardioinhibitory response may be a manifestation of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex. Bezold-Jarisch reflex inhibits sympathetic activity (sympathetic withdrawal) and increases parasympathetic activity, resulting in bradycardia, which may be associated with vasodilatation, nausea and hypotension. Bezold-Jarisch has been described in the setting of inferior wall infarction and coronary angiography. Origin...

Physiological Interventricular de-synchrony : Right ventricle contracts like an Intestine !
Right ventricle,being a venous chamber has distinct anatomical and physiological features to carry out this function.RV has a complex shape, its triangular in long axis and  crescent like in short axis , thin (<5mm)  more distendable  .Contraction of RV begins slightly early but ends later than LV  (30ms ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH5trHYjozI RV receives blood from RA and ejects in to PA in a sequential manner .The inflow, body and outflow contract somewhat like  intestinal peristalsis. This is facilitated  by the incremental  delay in the electrical depolarization of right ventricle.In physiological condi...

Coronary sinus atresia
Brief Review Abstract: Coronary sinus atresia is usually a congenital anomaly. Sometimes it is acquired, due to an AV fistula involving the middle cardiac vein which becomes grossly enlarged and impinges on the coronary sinus ostium and closes it off. Congenital atresia of the right atrial ostium of the coronary sinus can lead to different pathways for drainage of coronary venous outflow. In some cases, coronary venous outflow may move through a persistent left superior vena cava into the left brachiocephalic vein. From the left brachiocephalic vein it reaches the right atrium through the right superior vena cava.1,2 In...

Cardiology MCQ: Selvester QRS scoring
Leads not included in the Selvester QRS scoring system: a) Lead I and aVL b) Lead II and aVF c) Lead III and aVR d) None of the above Correct answer: c) Lead III and aVR Selvester QRS scoring system is a 50 criteria 31 point QRS scoring system which was developed for estimating the infarct size from ECG. Each point on the scoring system will account for about 3% of left ventricular myocardium. The scoring system used 10 of the standard 12 leads with weighting for each criteria ranging from 1 to 3 points. Lead III and aVR are not included in this scoring system. Maximum points that can be taken from each lead are as follo...
