These case studies were intended for Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Advanced Cardiac Nurses, though we welcome Monitor and ECG Techs. As soon as someone gets the most complete answer, we will post it at the bottom of this page, and a new case will be posted. If a correct answer is not provided within 30 days, the answer will be posted along with a new case study. Enjoy!
