Don´t forget the bubbles - By Elayne Forbes
"In the previous post we learnt that although cardiac syncope is rare, it is potentially fatal. It is, therefore, essential that we know how to recognise ECGs that identify the cause of cardiac syncope. Here we discuss some of the more common variants…
This post is part of our Syncope Sunday series – you can read the other posts:
- Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
- Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
- Brugada syndrome
- Long QTc
- Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia (CPTV)
So with syncope, there should be the normal ECG interpretation process but with pattern recognition awareness:
- Brugada pattern
- WPW delta wave
- QT measurement
- High left ventricular voltage and Q waves
- Epsilon wave
- Arrhythmias"
