Mattus Clues Flashcards
ST elevation or Depression in SVT- normal or not normal?
Can be normal and not concerning for ischemia
T wave inversions in V1-V3 or
Elevation in 1/R
Pulm embolus
Hyper acute t waves?
First thing in myocardial ischemia
Can adenosine cause a fib?
Yes
If they have underlying wpw or now a new tachycardia just be prepared to cardioversion
AV node blockers safe in preggos
Adenosine
Electricity
Bb and ccb are!
Do you wanna give CCB to a VT patient?
No/ adenosine may work if it is antidromic, superfast and looks wide, SVT
V1-V2 elevation mm for men?
2 mm
RBBB ischemia changes
V1-V2 should have depression so a little elevation/isoelectric is bad!
No other special things- look for elevation and depression
“PVCs” always check for
WPW - can be old and can be intermittent conduction
Looks like PVT or VF but there is a regular complex in between the crap, pt has syncope…
artifact! myoclonic jerks from syncope can cause this. Pt will be sick with PVT or VF. arrhythmia can cause syncope but syncope can cause myoclonic jerks
Looks like VT but V2 has a saddleback… dont give…
Sodium Channel blocker! Brugada is a sodium channelopathy
Flipped T waves in V1-V3 and Inferoior leads..
PE
LVH- look at what lead
AvL >11
RBBB is…
Wide S wave in 1 and V6
Complete heart block- narrow complex, rate 55=
CHB + Junctional escape rhythm
Rhythm is coming from the AV node (narrow and Rate 40-60)
