Direct current (DC) cardioversion is appropriate if the patient is unstable. It is important to identify PSVT that is caused by pre-excitation because the drug treatment is different. Digoxin, beta blockers, verapamil, and intravenous adenosine should be avoided because they slow AV nodal conduction, but not conduction through the bypass tract. If the patient develops AF or atrial flutter, drugs that slow AV node conduction favor conduction through the bypass tract. Bypass tracts conduct more rapidly than the AV node, so there could be a big increase in ventricular rate.
2), we would expect the P wave to be positive in that lead, and to have its maximum deflection or current in that lead. Lead aVR, with an orientation of 150°, would be expected to have a negative P wave. What about the P wave in lead aVL, oriented just 90° from lead II? Simple vector principles tell us that measuring a vector from a perpendicular position produces a net measurement of zero. That is to say, the forces moving toward the position of measurement are balanced by the forces moving away.
As stimulation of the ventricle comes from the AV node, the QRS is narrow. 14). TRIAL &IBRILLATION It is a rare day that I read ECGs and do not see a few cases of atrial fibrillation (AF). 15). , digoxin, C-adrenergic blockers, or the calcium blockers verapamil and diltiazem). 15). AF is not an example of AV dissociation. The atria may be beating (or fibrillating) at rates as high as 600 beats/min, but the ventricle is stimulated (captured) by atrial beats that traverse the AV node. 15). TRIAL &LUTTER Atrial flutter is a regular rhythm.
