AV dissociation, capture beats and fusion beats are all hallmarks of ventricular tachycardia

A simple understanding 👇

#CardioTwitter #Cardiology #Medtwitter
What’s a “capture beat” ?

During ventricular tachycardia, sometimes the SA nodal firing takes control of independent ventricular depolarization for brief moment, as this happens, “CAPTURE BEATS” appear. They are nothing but a brief moment of normal looking P-QRS pattern Image
Whats a “fusion beat” ?

During ventricular tachycardia, sometimes the SA nodal impulse and the independent ventricular impulse combine together to create a mix looking P-QRS pattern called fusion beats.

Core points 🧵🪡

While assessing 2ndary Amenorrhea ⏬

Give progesterone > bleeds | It was the one lacking on board (anovulation/PCOS)

Give progesterone > doesnt bleed | try adding estrogen & simulate a menstrual cycle >> If then Bleeds🩸> something’s wrong with the FSH/LH fine tuning ImageImage
If Estrogen + Progesterone does’nt lead to bleed🩸— check for uterine pathway blockage/structural defects (Asherman’s syndrome) esp. pt having h/o multiple D&C
