Delayed cases of total atrioventricular block (AVB) or complete heart block can occur more than 2 days after TAVI, two new studies affirm, highlighting the utility of extended ECG monitoring after ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) measures taken after the first pig-to-human heart transplant found significantly different electrical conduction characteristics compared to those seen in native pig hearts ...

A new consensus document released this week, complete with treatment algorithms, hopes to reduce the number of potentially deadly conduction disturbances following TAVR, including new-onset left ...

Researchers at the Yale Cardiovascular Data Science (CarDS) Lab have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model for clinical diagnosis that can use electrocardiogram (ECG) images, ...

Part 1 looked at the purpose of the test, cardiac electrophysiology and the practicalities of doing an ECG, while part 2 looked at interpretation, with a particular focus on cardiac ischaemia. In this ...

Several ECG markers of atrial or AV nodal mechanical/substrate/electrical conduction abnormalities have been related to both incident AF and stroke. P terminal force ...

You are reviewing an ECG you arranged for a 56-year-old man with newly diagnosed hypertension. The trace is normal but the computerised report notes ‘first-degree heart block’. Looking at the ...

2:1 atrioventricular block is a form of second-degree AV nodal block and occurs when every other P wave is not conducted through the AV node to get to the ventricles, and thus every other P wave is ...

This is a narrow complex tachycardia with a rate of 124 beats/min. The QRS morphology and axis are normal. The QTc is prolonged, at 529 ms (normal, 390-450 ms for men). The underlying P waves appear ...

Implementing large-scale ECG screening before high school sport participation could detect heart abnormalities that carry the risk of sudden cardiac death if left unchecked, a researcher reported.
