Key result
Complete AV block with ~720ms QT interval degenerates into Torsade de Pointes.
Why the study?
Complete heart block with ventricular escape rhythm and markedly prolonged QT interval poses diagnostic and management challenges that require detailed ECG analysis.
Case Report (n=1)
In patients with complete heart block and a prolonged QT interval, there is a high risk of bradycardia-induced Torsade de Pointes, necessitating continuous observation and urgent pacing.
have more than that to account for the abnormal conduction and no normal PR intervals.Careful observation, however, shows that the P wave rate is not slow but in fact 15 x 6 = 90 bpm.Observe in the V1 rhythm strip, the P wave right on the beginning of the fi rst QRS complex and the P waves immediately after the second last and last QRS complexes.Using
