Glad we got a quick POCUS in the ED for a young female in her 40s coming in with SOB and leg edema for weeks. With the help of ED, CCU, and CTS staff, she went for an urgent operation and did very well. Look what we found on the TEE! #echofirst #cardiotwitter #medtwitter

@dogi84md Agreed that EGMs can be misleading. Anecdotally seen CTI โ€œblockโ€ with 1 application when in fact more than half the length of the isthmus hasnโ€™t even been touched. My approach has been anatomy based with ICE. Usually 3-4 stamps on ICE regardless of EGMs. Have you encountered VF?

@ManInHood2 100% agreed. Hx was unremarkable. VT was noninducible on EPS. Cardiac MR did show mild enlargement although no scars/fibrofatty changes. Wondering if this could be early signs of ARVC? Sent to our cardiac geneticist for further work-up.

The device reached ERI, which automatically switched the pacing mode from DDD to VVI. ECG shows the device pacing at VVI 50. With the loss of AV synchrony and lower pacing rate, the patient presented with acute decompensated heart failure.

Dual AV nodal pathways. The 2nd QRS complex is conducted via the fast pathway in the AV node as displayed by the short PR. Premature atrial beat then gets conducted down the slow pathway with longer PR to the 3rd QRS complex. This sequence then triggers the AVNRT.
