A 78-year-old man with a history of heart failure presents for routine follow-up 1 week after insertion of a pacemaker. As part of the evaluation, a 12-lead ECG is obtained. The correct diagnosis is ...
The rhythm is regular at a rate of 120 beats/min. A pacemaker stimulus occurs before each QRS complex (→). This is ventricular pacing. Because the pacing rate is 120 beats/min, the mode of pacing must ...
When a heart patient with an implanted pacemakerundergoes electrocardiogram testing,the cardiologist must be able to detect thepresence and effects of the pacemaker (seesidebar, “When the heart’s ...
If the ventricular pacing is originating in the right ventricle like a normal pacemaker, a left bundle branch morphology will be present. This occurs since the right ventricle is activated first and ...
