What are ventricular ectopic beats (VPC)? Cardiology Basics
Ventricular ectopic beats are premature heart beats originating from the ventricles. Normal heart beats originate from the sinus node, situated in the upper part of right atrium. Sinus node is the natural pacemaker of the heart which gives out regular impulses to induce sequential contractions of atria and ventricles. Ventricular ectopic beats (VEB) are also known by other names like ventricular premature beat (VPB), ventricular premature complex (VPC) and premature ventricular complex (PVC). Ventricular ectopic is the commonest form of cardiac arrhythmia. In a ventricular ectopic beat, the sequence of activation is diffe...

Amiodarone in Ischemic VT : Doesn ’ t work always,.. IRA patency could be the missing link.
Curiously, the management of VT is simple if the patient is unstable. Just, we need to shock. Cardiologists are troubled only with a hemodynamically stable patient with VT. Some of us still think Amiodarone is a universal antidote for any VT. Though It is effective in both ischemic and non -Ischemic VT, the success rate is not uniform. The mechanism of action of the Initial IV bolus is not a class 3 K + blocking action, instead, it is thought to be its beta-blocking action. If amiodarone fails, we may try Lignocaine,  magnesium, Flecainide. .Many times it is the cumulative dose of amiodarone that reverts the VT. In some p...

Difficult calls in cardiology : Be ready for DC cardioversion during pregnancy !
This report from Taiwan  reassures there is no adverse effect by measuring umbilical artery flow (Yu-Chi Wang European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology 126 (2006) 268–274)While we consider DC shock during pregnancy is safe for the fetus, still, shock pads close to the abdomen, amniotic fluid being a good conductor of electricity at least one mother showed a sustained contraction of the uterus and fetal distress. This was possibly attributable to DC shock  Eleanor J. Barnes BJOG 2003 https://doi.org/10.1046/j.1471-0528.2002.02113. Final message Most cardiac arrhythmias in pregnancy ...

A young man with back spasms
Written by Pendell Meyers with edits by Steve SmithFirst see this ECG without clinical context:What do you see? Do you agree with the computer ' s read of " nonspecific ST abnormality? "The ECG is highly suspicious for hypokalemia. There is diffuse minimal STD, with prolonged QT interval and characteristic " down-up " T-wave morphology in the precordial leads which is being caused by U-waves. V2 has an especially pronounced U-wave, but there is also a slightly wandering baseline. This morphology is very unlikely to be due to ischemia, and to an experienced electrocardiographer is nearly pathognomonic of hypokalemia +/...
