Very interesting. The QRS morphology is interesting. It reminds me of something I read recently…..I just can’t put my finger on it. It looks similar but just a little different.

What was the clinical presentation?

She presented with episodes of palpitations for months on and off. No other symptoms.

Ectopic atrial tachycardia with 2:1 conduction (and 1st degree AV block).
Nodal blockade for presentations which involve rapid ventricular rates. EP study with ablation for definitive management….

Dr.deSouza,
It seems like the 2 P’s are of different (minor) morphology. In fact it seems like the P right after the qrs is a retrograde P originating from the ventricle. Could it be that there is a loop/accessory pathway and that that is the cause of the occasional sensations of palpitations? doesn’t change the fact that she needs EP study and ablation.
Thanks Baruch
