Patient Name: Sean Richards
Age/Sex: 45-year-old male
Clinical Context: Admitted for cirrhosis with bleeding esophageal varices secondary to portal hypertension. Presented with hematemesis, fatigue, and mild hypotension.
Rate: 125 beats per minute
Rhythm: Sinus Tachycardia
Axis: Normal
Intervals:
PR Interval: ~0.16 seconds (within normal limits)
QRS Duration: ~0.08 seconds (normal)
QT Interval: Appears shortened appropriately for rate
Waveform Analysis:
P Waves: Present before every QRS complex; upright in leads I, II, and aVF — consistent with sinus origin.
QRS Complex: Narrow, uniform morphology across all leads; no evidence of bundle branch block or pathologic Q waves.
ST Segment: Slight upsloping noted but no ST elevation or depression suggestive of ischemia.
T Waves: Upright, normal amplitude; no T-wave inversion or hyperacute changes.
Interpretation Summary:
Sinus tachycardia at 125 bpm
Regular rhythm with intact AV conduction
Normal axis and intervals
No acute ischemic changes or ectopy
