Even with AI technology, clinical judgement remains essential. This ECG shows a lot of ST elevation, and the sophisticated AI ECG interpretation also points towards acute occlusion, but just barely. Activate the lab? @willyhfrick.bsky.social drsmithsecgblog.com/stemi-positi...

Do #EPeeps believe in AVNRT upper common pathway (block)? This patient had: 1. AH jump 2. Septal VA < 80 ms 3. Concentric A during SVT 4. During RVP: (Stim-A)-(V-A) > 85 ms 5. During RVP: PPI-TCL > 115 ms 6. SVT terminated by RV burst pacing 7. Ablation in TOK rendered non-inducible

60M with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy, prior inferoposterior OMI. Overall impression is VT with fusion complexes. But...fusion with what? I thought supraventricular capture at first, but I am leaning more toward fusion with unrelated PVCs now.

VT entrainment. Some of you want to learn it from the beginning. Some just want the punchline. Here's a direct link to the climax of the video, with examples of all the possible entrainment locations (isthmus, entrance, exit, bystander, outer loop, etc) youtu.be/XykkZNLm9bc?...

Glad to see the Australian guidelines reflect the data where American guidelines (@accintouch.bsky.social) were stuck in an antiquated era. The best time to move on from STEMI was years ago. The second best time is now. www.heartfoundation.org.au/for-professi... #medsky #cardiosky #ECGsky

Good example of massive LVH voltage but also many non-voltage criteria for LVH - classic repolarization abnormality “backwards-check” STD/TWI in positive leads - left atrial abnormality - non-specific intraventricular conduction delay Only missing LAFB/LAD @willyhfrick.bsky.social

I know this is really silly to even notice, but I've never before seen MUSE do this -- autoscale in such a way that the waveform is still too big for the "graph paper." #EPeeps #ECGsky #cardiosky #medsky (Fun fact: This ECG is high lateral OMI)
