Bradydysrhythmias Rich Kaplan MD, MS, FACEP
Causes of Bradycardia • Intrinsic • Idiopathic • Infarction/Ischemia • Infiltrative diseases • Collagen vascular diseases • Surgical trauma • Infectious diseases
Causes of Bradycardia • Extrinsic causes • Autonomically mediated • Neurocardiac • Carotid-sinus hyperactivity • Situational
Causes of Bradycardia • Extrinsic • B-blockers • Calcium blockers • Clonidine • Digoxin • Antiarrhythmics • Hypothyroid • Hypokalemia • Hyperkalemia
Sinus Bradycardia Depressed automaticity in the sinus node
Sinus Node • Sinus node artery • Right coronary artery (65%) • Circumflex (25%) • Both (10%)
AV Node • AV nodal artery- • Proximal portion of descending artery • Right coronary artery (80%) • Circumflex (10%) • Both (10%)
Sinus Arrest Pauses of 3 seconds without atrial activity
Sinus pause or arrest • Failure of either inpulse formation or conduction out of the nodal region to the surrounding atrium
Sinus Node Dysfunction • Sick sinus syndrome • 1/600 over 65 years of age • ~50% pacers in US
Sinoatrial exit block Normal P wave axis Progressive shortening of PP interval until one P wave does not conduct (2nd degree, Type 1) or Sinus pause - exact multiple of baseline PP interval 2nd degree ,Type II)
Bradycardia-Tachycardia Syndrome Alternating periods of atrial tachyarrhythmias and bradycardia
1st Degree AV Block PR > 0.2 seconds Every P wave followed by QRS complex
1st Degree Block • PR • Conduction time from sinus node through the atrium, AV node and His-Purkinje system to the onset of ventricular depolarization
AV Conduction Disturbances • AV node or Bundle of His • Delays below the Bundle of His • BBB or fascicular blocks • AV conduction should be maintained unless all 3 fascicles are simultaneously affected • Intrinsic and Extrinsic causes
2nd degree AV Block Mobitz I Wenckebach Progressive lengthening of PR interval Shortening of RR interval until a P wave is blocked PR interval after blocked beat is shorter than preceding PR interval
2nd Degree AV Block Mobitz II Intermittently blocked P waves PR interval of conducted beats is constant
2nd Degree Block • Organized atrial rhythm does not conduct to ventricles in a 1:1 ratio, but some atrial-ventricular relation is maintained • Mobitz I is usually due to a delay in the AV node but may occur in the Bundle of His in patients with advanced disease • Mobitz II is most often with disease in His-Purkinje
2nd degree High-Grade AV block Conduction ratio of 3:1 or more PR interval of conducted beats is constant
3rd Degree AV Block Dissociation of atrial and ventricular activity Atrial rate is faster than ventricular rate, which Is junctional or ventricular
3rd Degree Block • Atrial and ventricular activity are independent of each other • Location of the block is implied by the escape rhythm • Narrow QRS- • HR 40-60 • AV nodal block • Wide QRS escape rhythm • usually at slower rates • His-Purkinje
Pacer Tips • Bipolar • Proximal pole- positive anode • Distal pole - negative cathode • Want catheter tip in apex of RV • When the catheter tip touches the RV, ST elevation is seen • 6F catheter
Anesthetize skin overlying and inferior to junction of lateral and middle 1/3 of clavicle Advance the needle to anesthetize the clavicle at junction of medial and middle 1/3 of clavicle Insert the introducer needle just inferior to the junction of the lateral and middle 1/3 of the clavicle Orient the needle inferomedially Direct the needle medially and slightly Ccphalad- Aim for the SC junction or Suprasternal notch Using a shallow angle to the skin, Advance the needle just posterior to the bone of the clavicle at the junction of the medial and middle 1/3 With posterior pressure, direct the needle under the clavicle
Identify the SCM triangle formed by the clavicle, sternal and clavicular heads IJ is in this triangle- lateral to carotid Anesthetize the skin and soft tissue overlying the apex of the triangle ( where the sternal and clavicular heads join) Insert the introducer at the apex at 30- 45 degree angle to skin and aim the needle toward the ipsilateral nipple Access the vein in the lateral aspect of the triangle at a depth of 1-3 cm
