Arrhythmias in the coronary-care unit. I. Physiologic bases of ectopic beats.

Ectopic beats appearing in the wake of an acute myocardial infarction are best explained with a fundamental knowledge of myocardial cellular electrophysiology. When the physician or nurse has knowledge of the electrical events of intracellular recordings then normal as well as abnormal states of automaticity and conductivity are better understood.

Pseudo A-V block. Part II.

This vignette demonstrates the importance of analyzing arrhythmias in the context of their particular clinical setting. Analysis and treatment of an arrhythmia without clinical information leads to errors in judgment. Arrhythmias may be interpreted as a didactic exercise that is used in the process of teaching and learning. However, when the question is asked, "How do you treat this arrhythmia?", then all clinical information ambient to the arrhythmia in question has to be available for analysis and judgment.
