Case 141: A 68-Year-Old Woman with Irregular Pulse
History
Diagnosis
History
A 68-year-old woman is referred to the ECG laboratory by her family physician. No history is provided:
Diagnosis
- Sinus rhythm with bigeminal sequence
- Likely sinus rhythm with premature atrial complexes
Comment: Given the p-wave morphology of the early atrial beat is slightly different than the p-wave morphology of the later beat, we can conclude that the slower atrial rate is likely the sinus rate, and the early beat is a premature atrial complex occurring in a bigeminal pattern.
ECG ID: E393
