Overview

EKG findings among patients wit chronic Pulmonic regurgitation (PR) may be non-specific. Ventricular tachycardia is demonstrated on EKG among patients with PR and RV dilatation. Patients may develop atrial flutter/fibrillation after years of PR development. Among patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), increased QRS duration with widened QRS complex reflects the severity of PR and right ventricular dilation predisposes the patients to develop malignant arrythmias.

Key EKG Findings in Pulmonic regurgitation

EKG findings among patients with pulmonary regurgitation (PR) may include the following:

EKG examples

EKG1: The EKG demonstrates ventricular tachycardia with a rate of 150 bpm, and a right bundle branch block pattern with right heart axis. The 5th and 6th complexes from the right side are fusion complexes. Moreover, this EKG shows baseline drift, which is a technical artifact.

EKG 2: The EKG demonstrates irregularly irregular rhythm with no P waves, suggestive of atrial fibrillation.

EKG 3: The EKG demonstrates ventricular tachycardia with a rate of 250 bpm, and a right bundle branch block pattern with a right heart axis.

EKG 4: The EKG demonstrates right ventricular hypertrophy and right atrial enlargement in a patient with chronic PAH. Note P pulmonale that is a P wave amplitude >2.5mm among inferior leads (II, III, and AVF) and T wave inversion among leads II, III, aVF, V2, V3, V4, V5.
