Answer to ECG Quiz Case Number 5:
1. Sinus tachycardia, rate of 112/min with…
2. ...significant AV block which, combined with…
3. ...an accelerated junctional rhythm, rate 70/min, prevents all AV conduction and results in…
4. …complete AV dissociation
5. Left bundle branch block
Comments: As so often, it is impossible to attribute a degree to this AV block. There is no AV conduction so there is complete AV dissociation, but that does not imply complete block. Remember, that to diagnose absolute complete AV block we need a ventricular rate of 45 or less and an atrial rate of 130 or less. This person cannot Case studies from the desk of Jonni Cooper Tampa Tracing ECG Club.
