Normal sinus rhythm
HR: 87bpm, PR interval: 150ms
Normal sinus rhythm
• Heart rate: 60~100bpm
• A P wave before every QRS complex
• Normal P axis (upright in lead II)
• PR interval >0.12 second
HR: 61bpm, PR: 128ms
 Ectopic atrial rhythm
Rhythm evaluation on ECG
• Rate
– Regularity
• P wave ?
• P wave morphology
• P wave axis
– Normal P wave axis: upright in lead II
• PR interval (P & QRS relationship)
– Normal PR interval: 120~200ms
– Constant
Bradycardia
• Bradycardia: heart rate < 60bpm
• May be a normal physiological
phenomenon or result from a cardiac or
non-cardiac disorder
– During sleeping
– Athletes
• Symptoms:
– Dizziness, near syncope, syncope, ischemic
chest pain, and hypoxic seizures
Pathological etiologies of bradycardia
• Medication
– B-blocker
– Ca channel blocker
– Digoxin
– Class IA, IC, III
• Myocardial infarction
• Inflammation/infection
– Myocarditis
– Infectivce endocarditis
– Lyme disease
• Metabolic effect
– Electrolytes
– Hypothyroidism
– Hypothermia
• Autoimmune diseases
– SLE
• Surgery
• Degeneration
– Sick sinus syndrome
Bradyarrhythmia
• Sinus node dysfunction
– Symptomatic sinus bradycardia
– Sinus pause/sinus arrest
– Sino-atrial exit block
– Tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome
• AV block
• Junctional/ventricular escape rhythm
• Atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response
Marked sinus bradycardia
• May be symptomatic if heart rate < 45bpm
• Usually related to
– Increased vagal tone
– Medication: b-blocker, Ca channel blocker
– Sick sinus syndrome (SA node dysfunction)
Marked sinus bradycardia
HR: 42bpm, PR: 184ms
Sinus pause/arrest
• Transient cessation of impulse formation
at the sinoatrial node
• A prolonged pause without P activity
• The pause is unrelated to the length of the
P-P cycle
Sinus pause/arrest
SA exit block
• A transient failure of sinus impulse
conduction to the atrial myocardium
• SA exit block
–1st
degree SA block
–2nd
degree SA block
• Type I: group beating, shortened PP interval
• Type II: the pause length was two times of PP
interval
–3rd
degree SA block: escape rhythm
SA exit block
2nd
degree SA exit block type I
HR: 91bpm, PR:142bpm
2nd
degree SA exit block type II
Tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome
• Common in sick sinus syndrome (sinus
node dysfunction)
• Paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmia
followed by sinus bradycardia, sinus
pause or escape rhythm
Tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome
EPS to evaluate sinus node function
• Sinus node recovery time (SNRT)
– SNRT < 1500 ms
– cSNRT (SNRT - BCL) < 550 ms
– SNRT/NSR < 150%
EPS to evaluate SA conduction
• Sinoatrial conduction time (SACT)
–45~125ms
Atrio-ventricular block
• First degree AV block
• Second degree AV block
–Mobitz type I
–Mobitz type II
–Advance AV block: 2:1, 3:1, 4:1,… AV
block
• Three degree (Complete) AV block
1st
Degree AV block
• Simple prolongation of PR interval (> 0.2
seconds)
• No dropped QRS complexes
• All P waves are conducted
1st
degree AV block
HR: 57bpm, PR: 350ms
2nd
degree Mobitz type I AV block
(Wenckebach phenomenon)
• PR interval progressively increases before
dropped QRS
• Intermittent dropping of the QRS
• RR interval may progressively decrease
• Grouping of QRS
2nd
degree Mobitz type I AV block
(Wenckebach phenomenon)
HR: 44bpm, PR: 292ms
2nd
degree Mobitz type II AV block
• Fixed PR interval before dropped QRS
complex
2nd
degree Mobitz type II AV block
HR: 59bpm, PR: 136ms
2:1 AV block
• QRS complex
dropped in every
other beat
• Constant PR
interval
• Mobitz type I or II
2:1 AV block
HR: 41bpm, PR: 192ms
HR: 40bpm, PR: 186ms
 2: 1 AV block
Three degree (Complete) AV block
• Complete interruption of atrial conduction
• Independent atrial and ventricular rhythms
(AV dissociation)
• Regular PP and RR interval
• Atrial rate > ventricular rate
• P wave march through the QRS
complexes
Three degree (Complete) AV block
HR: 43bpm
HR: 45bpm
 Complete AV block
HR: 67bpm, PR: 207ms
 Non-conducted APC
Escape rhythm
• When the ventricles are not stimulated as
a result of automaticity or conduction
problems
• Marked sinus bradycardia, sinus pause,
complete AV block
• Junctional vs. ventricular escape rhythm
–Junctional: narrow, rate: 40~60bpm
–Ventricular: wide, rate: 20~40bpm
Escape rhythm
HR: 36bpm
Sinus bradycardia with junctional
escape rhythm
HR: 50bpm
Complete AV block with ventricular
escape rhythm
HR: 27bpm
Atrial fibrillation with slow
ventricular response
• Atrial rate in Af: 350~700bpm
• The ventricular rate depends on the AV
conduction ability
• Impaired AV conduction
Atrial fibrillation with slow
ventricular response
HR: 48bpm
Af with regular RR interval
 Af with complete AV block and junctional escape rhythm

Editor's Notes

  1. * ESC Rate For elderly with EHRA 1 (IA) Rhythm For EHRA 2 after rate control (IB) For AF+HF (IIaB) Difficult group: long history of AF, older age, more severe associated CVD, other associated medical conditions, and enlarged LA size. Could be ultimate goal, if so, continue rate control Usefulness and benefit are lacking Opportunity exists early in the course CHF rate: no different in AFFIRM, RACE, or AF-CHF AFFIRM post hoc: deleterious effect of antiarrhythmics (mortality increase of 49%) may offset the benefit of sinus rhythm (53% reduction in mortality) RACE analysis: underlying heart Dz effect prognosis more AF-CHF: no
