Lesson 1
A new ECG is launched most Monday evenings.
Cases are generally aimed at healthcare students and professionals.
All scenarios are completely fictitious and theoretical, but based on commonly occurring presentations in practice.
This is an educational site, intended for healthcare professionals and shouldn’t be construed as patient advice.
A 65yrs old gentleman comes to see you with funny turns. His wife describes him as having brief episodes of ‘faint-like’ attacks, when he seems unresponsive for a moment, and looks very pale. On one occasion he actually collapsed, but came round moments later.
Obviously – you want an ECG – this is #pulsemdx after all!
So here it is:
Q1. Is the rhythm Regular or Irregular?
Q2. Can you see P-waves?
Q3. What is the rate? (Atrial? and Ventricular?)
Q4. Does the P-QRS morphology look normal, or abnormal?
