Detection of Irregular Heart Rhythms Devices such as the Apple Watch or Fitbit Sense can detect irregular heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation (AFib). These early warnings are critical, as AFib increases the risk of stroke and other heart-related complications.

Altered Mental Status, Bradycardia == MY Comment , by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 2/2 /2024 ): == Dr. Meyers began today’s case with the clinical challenge of asking you to identify the underlying cause of ECG #2. -- Read this ECG -- Osborn Waves and Hypothermia (this is the "Figure" above) What does LBBB look like in severe hypothermia?

Resuscitation was initiated and this ECG was obtained: Likely AFib (irregularly irregular) with bradycardia. In addition to marked bradycardia — could there be high-grade AV block? STD in V2 from posterior MI can "pull down" the STE in V1 and negate it. Figure-2: ECG #2 — recorded on arrival in the ED ( See text ).

Her vital signs were within normal limits except for bradycardia at 55 bpm. It is probably sinus bradycardia with very small/depressed P-waves and prolonged PR interval. P EARL # 4 In my opinion, it is not worth wasting time trying to figure out the specific rhythm diagnosis of a bradycardia when there is hyperkalemia.

during which sinus bradycardia and arrhythmia are seen but not to a degree that produces symptoms. Thus, there is sinus bradycardia and arrhythmia sinus pauses ( which may be longlasting, ultimately leading to sinus arrest ) and SA nodal block. New slow AFib reflects a combination of these rhythm problems. second in duration.

Of 59 participants who sent at least 1 EKG, 52 (88.1%) were in sinus rhythm, 3 (5.1%) AF, 2 (3.4%) indeterminate, and 2 (3.4%) sinus bradycardia. Of 76 participants assessed by the study team, 32 (42.1%) reported anxiety surrounding notifications. Cardiac monitor demonstrated AF in 2 of 3 participants with AF on Apple Watch EKGs.

This ECG shows sinus bradycardia with massively long QT (or QU?) Especially when present in the setting of bradycardia and syncopal episodes, this is very worrisome for high risk of lethal dysrhythmias including polymorphic ventricular fibrillation (termed Torsades when in the setting of long QT). interval, at over 600 msec.
