Bigeminy should be treated if it causes symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, or fainting, occurs frequently, or is linked to heart disease or other medical conditions.

This was shortly followed by transient ventricular bigeminy that was unidirectional, with constant coupling, and then by the reappearance of ventricular tachycardia, with upright QRS complexes.

WebMD explains what causes bigeminy, a type of heart arrhythmia, and how it can be treated.

Paired, identical-looking QRS complexes can be a consequence of many factors, such as every other beat being atrial, a junctional premature beat (atrial or junctional bigeminy), or 3:2 AV ...

DEAR DR. ROACH: Several months ago, I developed a case of a bigeminy heartbeat. My cardiologist prescribed metoprolol. At about the same time, I had reduced my intake of magnesium from about 50% ...

A 52-year-old woman with refractory status epilepticus was admitted to the hospital. Despite treatment with a five-drug regimen, electroencephalography showed ongoing seizure activity. Fever, ...

If it affects every other beat, the tracing may simulate either ventricular bigeminy or electrical alternans. It is not accelerated idioventricular rhythm because the P waves maintain a fixed ...

There are clearly extra QRS complexes that are of different morphology compared to the QRS complexes with preceding p waves, ie, the sinus beats. The extra QRS complexes are broader and bigger ...

The regular arrhythmia occurring at the beginning of the electrocardiogram was identified as ventricular bigeminy. Single ventricular premature complexes (VPCs), as well as pairs and triplets of ...

When every other QRS complex is a premature atrial contraction, then the rhythm is referred to as “ atrial bigeminy ” as seen in this strip above. If a PAC occurs when the AV node has not yet ...
