What is the diagnosis?
3rd Degree AV Block (Complete Heart Block) - Look at the rhythm strip and notice there is no relation between the P waves (Green Arrows) and QRS complexes which diagnoses 3rd Degree. It helps to get a piece of paper (calipers if you have) and measure the P waves. They can often be buried in the T wave or QRS complex. It is not 2nd Degree AV Block because both Mobitz I (progressively prolonged PR interval before dropped QRS) and Mobitz II (intermittent AV Block) will show some pattern of relation between the P wave and QRS complex. The escape rhythm is narrow and thus a junctional escape rhythm indicating the block is above the bundle of his. A wide complex would indicate a block at or below the bundle of His and ventricular escape rhythm. Name some possible etiologies
Etiologies: Ischemia (especially inferior MI), Medications (CCB, Beta blockers etc.) Hyperkalemia, and ask about travel and send a Lyme titer if pertinent or you’re feeling fancy **Look closely at the EKG you’ll see pacemaker spikes (Red Arrows) which are followed by ventricular capture. The patient had a PPM which had not been check in > 10 years and battery failure. Thus the pacemaker was not firing**

Do you find your problem hard for you? Are you finding it difficult looking for a reliable herbal healer to cure your sickness? I say this because I have been helped by Lord Krish Spiritual in restoring happiness into my life. My Mom had been sick with Stage 4 Melanoma Cancer which nearly took her life. I was sad because of this sickness and I didn't know what to do to save my mother's life. I would never have met Lord Krish if my friend had not introduced him to me by telling me about a herbalist who has helped so many people worldwide and it's true. I contacted Lord Krish at [email protected] and within 3 days, I received herbal medicine from him through a courier and I used it on my mom. Within a week, mom was cured and healed. I would advise anyone out there to Contact Lord Krish at [email protected] and meet him to help you with any sickness you are passing through
