The compensatory pause after the PVC is slightly longer than the junctional escape interval and allows the junctional rhythm to escape for 5 beats. During this period, the P waves from the sinus ...
The rhythm is regular at a rate of 96 beats/min, although two shorter RR intervals (4th and 13th) (⊓) occur because of premature QRS complexes (↑). The QRS complex duration is normal (0.08 sec), and ...
When looking at a 12-lead ECG, a few logistics must be understood. First, the standard 12-lead ECG is a 10-second strip. The bottom one or two lines will be a full “rhythm strip” of a specific lead, ...
