You’ll find anatomy charts, additional vocabulary, occasional feedback from subscribers, and more! Feel free to read them now and save them for later use such as with a patient or as a study guide for coursework.

nodal-re-entrant tachycardia

Nodal reentry tachycardia—taquicardia por reentrada nodal

English description

In typical nodal reentry tachycardia pro (slow antegrade and retrograde conduction via AV conduction through the fast track), the P wave is not visible and can be visible right after the QRS complex and look like a pseudo R in lead V1.

Descripción en Español

En taquicardia pro reentrada nodal tipica (conduccion anterograda por la via AV lenta y conduccion retrograda por la via rapida), la onda P puede no verse y puede ser visible justo despues del complejo QRS y parecer una pseudo R en derivacion V1.
