Episode 7 : Cardiac Rhythm Disturbances
from ED PODS Hosted by Mz
In this podcast, we explore Cardiac Rhythm Disturbances based on Tintinalli’s Emergency Medicine, covering the systematic approach to patients with bradycardia, tachycardia, and various cardiac arrhythmias in the emergency department. Topics include the assessment and management of stable and unstable patients; sinus bradycardia; premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs); atrial fibrillation (AF), atrial flutter, multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT), and paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT); first-degree, second-degree, and third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block; ventricular tachycardia (VT); undifferentiated wide-complex tachycardia; and ventricular fibrillation (VF). We also cover Conduction and Repolarization Abnormalities, including Wolff–Parkinson–White (WPW) syndrome, Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Through ECG interpretation, clinical assessment, and emergency management principles, this episode aims to build a structured understanding of cardiac rhythm disturbances and the recognition of potentially life-threatening arrhythmias. 📚 Reference: Tintinalli’s Emergency Medicine, Chapter 18 — Cardiac Rhythm Disturbances. 🎧 An educational discussion for medical students, emergency medicine trainees, and healthcare professionals interested in ECG interpretation and emergency cardiac care.
