Need help with cardiology term (please?) - blbarb


Posted: Nov 07, 2009

Hi. I have visited this site often and enjoy all the comments. I'm hearing something that sounds like brankybach. It almost sounds familiar, but can't find it anywhere. The sentence is:  EKGs demonstrated nonspecific ST-T changes in anterolateral leads.  There was _______________ noted on the rhythm monitor last night. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does it sound like Wenckebach - wordlady

does not sound like bradycardia but Wienkebach is an AV block

Wenckebach - blbarb

It was so nice of you all to help. I think you are right on the money with Wenckebach. Thanks so much. I hope I can return the favor.

You all are wonderful. Thank you so much. Wenckebach was the word I was looking for. Didn't sound exactly like that because it was a ESL dictator. Thank you to everyone who responded.

bradycardia, tachycardia ?....nm - heart

probably saying "bradytach." Something to research anyway.

GP is right, it is brady-tach...sm - heart

premature atrial contractions (PACs)

I would say Brady-PAC ?

I vote for Wenckebach - Jane

Wenckebach


 First-degree AV block is characterized by PR interval prolongation (more than 200 msec or 5 small boxes) and is generally a benign finding. Figure 12-3 depicts a rhythm strip with first-degree heart block. Second-degree heart block is divided into type I (Wenckebach) and type II. Type I second-degree AV block (Wenckebach) is caused by a conduction disturbance within the AV node. It is characterized by the progressive lengthening of the PR interval until the impulse is not conduct- ed, resulting in a dropped QRS complex (Figure 12-4). A resetting of the original PR interval follows each dropped beat. Similar to first-degree AV block, type I second-degree AV block is infrequently clinically significant, except that it may eventually progress to type II second-degree or to third-degree heart block.


 


Mobitz type I block:   a second degree atrioventricular block in which the P-R interval increases progressively until an atrial impulse is blocked.


 


Called also Wenckebach phenomenon or block.

vast possibility that you are right..nm - h

Although acute pulmonary embolism (PE) may give rise to certain electrocardiographic (ECG) changes, most of these changes have low sensitivity and specificity and are of limited value alone in the diagnosis. Possible ECG changes with acute PE include S(1)Q(3)T(3) pattern,

atrial tachyarrhythmias,
incomplete right bundle-branch block,

or negative T wave over right and midprecordial leads.

from context, Wenckebach - je suis MT

In addition to being an MT, I'm also a cardio tech, so from the good contextual info you provided, this sounds like Wenckebach block. An EKG only provides a few seconds worth of data. Wenckebach (also called Mobitz type I) is a progressive prolongation of the PR interval, and a beat is eventually "dropped". Ergo, one would more likely determine this from prolonged cardiac rhythm monitoring than an EKG.
