Understanding the ECG. Part 4: Conduction blocks

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this fourth article of the British Journal of Nursing’s ECG Interpretation Series, we examine the conduction blocks commonly encountered in clinical practice, and discuss how they can be recognised on the electrocardiogram (ECG). As with the previous article in this series (Sampson, 2016), we also place each block in context by briefly considering why it occurs, its clinical significance, and any treatment that might be necessary.
