The wide intervals on the ECG result from a blocked atrial impulse every fourth beat. The block is at the level of the origin of the atrial impulse, i.e. an exit block of the focal impulse. Atrioventricular and ventricular conduction are normal. Repolarisation is abnormal and might be explained by the use of digoxin. Atrial tachycardia with AV block might be seen in the setting of toxic digoxin concentrations but in this case the level of block is not at the atrioventricular junction. So, there is no reason to consider this cause.</ins></div></td></tr>

A 71-year-old female patient presents to your outpatients clinic with an irregular heart rhythm.<br />
The complaints started a few weeks ago and seem to worsen. Her cardiac history reveals the use of digoxin<br />
prescribed by her general physician for an irregular, much faster, heart beat a few years ago. The present<br />
symptoms are different from those. Physical examination did not reveal any abnormalities except the irregular heart rhythm. Additional cardiological examinations (X-ray, echo) were without abnormalities. Part of the ECG is shown in figure 1. Only the extremity leads are shown (standard calibration).<br />
