In this case the missing QRS complex represents an intermittent Mobitz second degree AV block , a prodromal warning of a serious complete third degree AV block.
This is always the case if the patient has a pre-existing Bundle Branch Block. Like a flickering light bulb warns that the bulb is about to burn out and fail to conduct electricity , one non-conduction event missing QRS of the ventricular conducting system forebodes impending complete AV block. Although seemingly insignificant, this is an important warning sign.
Please don't forget it. Her monitor displays the MCL1 lead, which is analogous to V1 but it is recorded by three monitor electrodes on the anterior chest. She is comfortable, and she has a normal rate and a regular rhythm. Ho hum Soon she acts agitated, and her face looks a little ashen, but she continues reading. Her monitor displays the same regular rhythm and a slightly faster, normal rate.
Any need for concern? The astute care-giver notices little else on the monitor other than evidence of a right Bundle Branch Block R,R' of the widened QRS in a right chest lead, [ pages ] and perhaps a slightly inverted T wave [ page ]. These subtle and barely perceptible changes on the monitor were the only early sign that the patient had a pulmonary embolus [ pages , ]. Acute, spontaneous right Bundle Branch Block is always suspect for pulmonary embolus.
And look He suffered multiple long bone fractures and has just returned to the floor after multiple surgical procedures. His monitor, also recording Lead MCL1, originally displayed a normal rate, normal rhythm, and no signs of cardiac problems. Now you look at the monitor and see the following. Since MCL1 is really an improvised Lead V1, you know from the increased R wave magnitude and ST segment depression the patient has suddenly developed in Lead V1 and because you are so intelligent that this is a clear warning of a true posterior infarction [ pages ].
You can be proud of yourself. Of course this should be verified with a twelve lead EKG and appropriate lab work. Later you notice multifocal PVC's that may presage an impending deadly ventricular arrhythmia.
We are so accustomed to looking for significant Q waves, that it is easy to overlook the obvious. His monitor, recording Lead I, shows a normal rate and normal rhythm.
In general, his tracing looks pretty good, don't you think? The Lead I recording is very crisp and displays such good detail that the monitor was left on this lead. The care-giver who is observing this monitor notices some very subtle changes. The rate, rhythm, and all other cardiac parameters remain normal. Is it time for a little chit-chat with a colleague, or is the monitor displaying a warning that needs attention?
The Lead I initially showed a normal rate and a normal rhythm with normal upright QRS complexes that are typical of a normal QRS axis on the cardiac monitor. The rate and rhythm remain normal. This monitor is showing us that the patient now has Right Axis Deviation [ page ].
This acute shift from a normal two thumbs up axis to RAD is typical of acute posterior hemiblock [ pages , ]. Having read Rapid Interpretation of EKG's , the observer knows that acute hemiblock is most often associated with acute infarction. The patient had a serious infarction and the earliest sign was an acute shift in QRS axis out of the normal range. Know this.
