A term was coined called
the "Bix Rule", in honor of a Viennese
cardiologist who had an encyclopedic knowledge of arrhythmia, which states that
if you are dealing with a supraventricular tachycardia, in which visible P wave
is situated midway between ventricular complexes, there is a probability that
there is a P wave lurking within the
QRS complexes. Thus, there can be an atrial tachycardia or atrial flutter with
2:1 AV conduction.
Thanks for vising the blog. There is no therapy for "Bix Rule". It was a phenomenon description. This 2:1 could be AT or AFL (slow). So, the treatment is going into that direction.
