Large Transmural STEMI with Myocardial "Rupture" of Ventricular Septum
A man in his 60's presented after 4 days of chest pain, with some increase of pain on the day of presentation.  Exact pain history was difficult to ascertain.  There was some SOB.  He had walked into the ED (did not use EMS).  Here is his ECG:There is atrial fibrillation at a rate of 95.  There is Right Bundle Branch Block with a QR particularly noted in V1-V3 (no rSR',  as there is an initial Q-wave diagnostic of infarction in the anterior wall and septum).  The Q-waves extend to V5 and are very wide (80 ms in V2).  There are also inferior Q-waves which can mimic a left anterior fas...

ECG Quiz 8
What is the rhythm? a) Sinus rhythm b) Low atrial rhythm c) Idioventricular rhythm d) None of the above Answer: b) Low atrial rhythm ECG showing negative P waves in inferior leads – II, III and aVF. A superior P wave axis means that the atrial activation is proceeding from below upwards. This occurs when the focus is in the low atrium (low atrial rhythm or coronary sinus rhythm). In addition the ECG also shows an intraventricular conduction defect (IVCD) in the form of notched R wave in lead II and aVF and an rSR’ pattern in lead III. Sometimes this pattern occurs in atrial septal defect and it is known as chrochetage ...
