To me, it was clearly atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction. Continue Eliquis 5mg BID, should be continued for 3 months == MY Comment , by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 9/18 /2024 ): == I found the following aspects of today's case of special interest. Why did Dr. Smith immediately say the rhythm was AFlutter with 1:1 AV conduction?
I’ve taken th e l ead V 3 examples in Figure-1 from previous cases posted on Dr. Smith’s ECG Blog : T OP in Figure-1 — Despite marked ST elevation in this lead V3 — this is not T-QRS-D, because there is well-defined J-point notching ( BLUE arrow ). This patient had a repolarization variant as the reason for ST elevation.
