Intraventricular conduction delay seen in precordial/chest leads with QRS duration 100 ms. An EKG of a 25-year-old male. Intraventricular conduction delays (IVCD) are conduction disorders seen in intraventricular propagation of supraventricular impulses resulting in changes in the QRS complex duration or morphology, or both.
Prolonged duration could indicate hyperkalemia [5] or intraventricular conduction delay such as bundle branch block. QRS amplitude: S amplitude in V1 + R amplitude in V5 < 3.5 millivolt (mV) [4] R+S in a precordial lead < 4.5 mV [4] R in V5 or V6 < 2.6 mV; Increased amplitude indicates cardiac hypertrophy: Ventricular activation time (VAT) < 50 ...
The hexaxial reference system is a diagram that is used to determine the heart's electrical axis in the frontal plane.. In electrocardiography, left axis deviation (LAD) is a condition wherein the mean electrical axis of ventricular contraction of the heart lies in a frontal plane direction between −30° and −90°.
The delay in the AV node forms much of the PR segment on the ECG, and part of atrial repolarization can be represented by the PR segment. The distal portion of the AV node is known as the bundle of His. [8] The bundle of His splits into two branches in the interventricular septum: the left bundle branch and the right bundle branch.
Although there is a delay or block in activation of the left anterior fascicle there is still preservation of initial left to right septal activation as well as preservation of the inferior activation of the LV (preservation, on the ECG, of septal Q waves in I and aVL and predominantly negative QRS complex in leads II, III, and aVF).
It is due to slowed intraventricular conduction. The epsilon wave may be seen on a surface EKG; however, it is more commonly seen on signal averaged EKGs. Ventricular ectopy seen on a surface EKG in the setting of ACM is typically of left bundle branch block (LBBB) morphology, with a QRS axis of −90 to +110 degrees. The origin of the ectopic ...
Intraventricular conduction delay or bundle branch block or that cannot be distinguished from ventricular tachycardia; Increasing chest pain; Fatigue, shortness of breath, wheezing, claudication or leg cramps; Hypertensive response (systolic blood pressure > 250 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 115 mmHg)
Bifascicular block is a combination of right bundle branch block and either left anterior fascicular block or left posterior fascicular block. Conduction to the ventricle would therefore be via the remaining fascicle. The ECG will show typical features of RBBB plus either left or right axis deviation. [7] [8]
