Notice a P-wave with a significant 1\u00b0 AV block (PR of 400msec) \u2013 a complex that has actually been masquerading as a T-wave in the remaining EKG. Without this opportune advantage one might easily interpret the rhythm as junctional (absence of P-waves) with a prolonged QT interval.\n<p>It pays to carefully scrutinize every part of the 12-lead EKG and the rhythm strip. As in this case it can truly alter the interpretation.<br \/>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the rhythm of this routine EKG?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ekg-of-the-week"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=734"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":736,"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734\/revisions\/736"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/torreyekg.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
