BEorP Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 I don't have the full interpretation with me at the moment, but there was no mention of the possible electrical alternans and the overall interpretation was AF.
mikeymedic1984 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 It's not afib -- consider typical SVT or junctional tach. The rhythm is not irregularly irregular.
scubanurse Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Uhh definitely irregular.... Did you actually measure this out or just eyeball it?!?! If you get out the calipers or even a sheet of paper you will see that the r to r interval is definitely not regular.... 1
chbare Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 The last time I said this I was tore up a bit, but it looks like atrial fibrillation to me.
Job13_5 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Being bold, I'd not call it AF because it appears regularly irregular. The R-Rs appear consistent for every other beat...ie two different foci working as the pacemaker. So it wouldn't be electrical alternans either. Edit: I should add the caveat that I'm only using a piece of paper to mark the R-Rs from the pic in the phone (no calipers)...but it appears to march out consistently on the running strip.

Hal Lineback Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Just a guess! Irregular, accelerated jucctional?
BEorP Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 Just to give a little no-update-update, I haven't been able to come up with any reasoning for the variations in QRS amplitudes. It might end up going unexplained, but if I ever figure it out I will update the thread.
