It can cause heart failure or loss of consciousness. Third-degree heart block can be fatal if a person does not receive treatment. This is when the electrical rhythms of the heart are disrupted or blocked, causing the heart to beat slowly. Ventriculophasic sinus arrhythmia occurs mostly in patients with third-degree heart block, also called an AV block. However, the difference is that NRSA does not affect a person’s breathing.Īlthough it can occur in otherwise healthy individuals, NRSA is more likely to occur in those who have heart disease or who have taken excess digoxin. Nonrespiratory sinus arrhythmia (NRSA) more commonly occurs in adults.Įlectrocardiogram (ECG) results for NRSA can be similar to those for respiratory sinus arrhythmia. In cases of respiratory sinus arrhythmia, the P-P interval will often be longer than 0.12 seconds when the person breathes out.Īs the heart speeds up, such as during exercise, the heart rate rhythm tends to become more regular. In most people, there is a slight variation of less than 0.16 seconds. The time between heartbeats is the P-P interval. It is more common in children than in adults and tends to disappear as children get older. In other words, when the person breathes in, their heart rate increases, and when they breathe out, the rate decreases. It occurs when a person’s heart rate relates to their breathing cycle.

Patients with R-IVCD constitute a subgroup of patients with a long Q-LV interval.Ĭardiac resynchronization therapy Heart failure Left bundle branch block Left ventricular electrical delay Nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay Right bundle branch block.Ĭopyright © 2016 Heart Rhythm Society. Mid-QRS notching in lateral leads strongly predicts a longer Q-LV interval in L-IVCD patients. Patients with LBBB have a very prolonged Q-LV interval. The R-IVCD group presented an unexpectedly longer Q-LV interval (127.0 ± 12.5 ms 13/15 patients had Q-LV >110 ms). Isolated mid-QRS notching/slurring predicted Q-LV interval >110 ms in 68% of patients. Patients with LBBB presented a long Q-LV interval (147.7 ± 14.6 ms, all exceeding cutoff value of 110 ms), whereas RBBB patients presented a very short Q-LV interval (75.2 ± 16.3 ms, all 150 ms and intrinsicoid deflection >60 ms. The Q-LV interval in the different groups and the relationship between ECG parameters and the maximum Q-LV interval were analyzed.
The IVCD group was further subdivided into 81 patients with left (L)-IVCD and 15 patients with right (R)-IVCD (resembling RBBB, but without S wave in leads I and aVL). One hundred ninety-two consecutive patients undergoing CRT implantation were divided electrocardiographically into 3 groups: left bundle branch block (LBBB), right bundle branch block (RBBB), and nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay (IVCD).
The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of Q-LV interval on ECG configuration. Estimating left ventricular electrical delay (Q-LV) from a 12-lead ECG may be important in evaluating cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
