Complete Heart Block · Ventricular Escape

Slow regular wide ventricular escape with discordant repolarization. Independent sinus atria at 83 bpm can produce cannon a waves. This illustrative low-output preset adds impaired ventricular activation to the bradycardic flow reduction; blood pressure depends on the underlying circulation.

Overview

Open Clinical controls → Baseline vitals → Rhythm and choose Complete Heart Block · Ventricular Escape. The rate and atrial/ventricular timing follow this rhythm’s model.

Slow regular wide ventricular escape with discordant repolarization. Independent sinus atria at 83 bpm can produce cannon a waves. This illustrative low-output preset adds impaired ventricular activation to the bradycardic flow reduction; blood pressure depends on the underlying circulation.

The disease state remains active. Disease morphology, treatment and temporary pacing can modify the displayed result; use the effective rate and the current twelve-lead read.

Step by step

  1. Select the rhythm, then adjust Ventricular rate if required.
  2. Compare Lead II, V1 and the arterial pulse.
  3. Open 12-lead ECG; use Variant or Next variant, then Pause → Interpretation.
