00:01 So, let's take a case and see how well you're doing with pacemakers. 00:05 Here's a 77-year-old man, he had a pacemaker implanted at another hospital, and he can't find the card he was given which said what type of pacemaker he received. 00:15 Now, he's being seen at your hospital, you'd like to know what kind of pacemaker he has so you can talk to it through the skin with a specific program that's made for that pacemaker. 00:25 So, I want you to look at this EKG or his ECG and tell me what kind of pacemaker did the patient receive. 00:33 Here's the ECG. Think about it for a moment. Think about where the spikes are. 00:45 There are two spikes: one for the atrium and one for the ventricle. 00:49 So, this is an atrial and ventricular dual chamber pacemaker. This is a DDD pacemaker. 00:57 Thanks very much for being with me today. 00:59 I look forward to speaking with you at the next lecture on ECG reading.
The lecture ECG Case: 77-year-old Man with Pacemaker by Joseph Alpert, MD is from the course Electrocardiogram (ECG) Interpretation.
A 77-year-old man had a pacemaker implanted at another hospital and cannot find the card he was given that identified which type of pacemaker he received. His ECG shows both atrial and ventricular pacing spikes. Which of the following types of pacemaker is most likely to have been implanted?
