Overview

Physical examination should consist of a thorough cardiac exam, lung exam, and close monitoring of vital signs. Findings on physical exam mayinclude hemodynamic compromised, [[cannon a wave in jugolar venous pulsation, evidence of sternotomy scar due to CABG]], and ICD pocket.

Physical Examination

Physical findings depend in part on the P-to-QRS relationship with/without signs of AV dissociation.[1]
