Current ECG Aspects of Interatrial Block
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Interatrial blocks like other types of block may be of first degree or partial second degree, also named transient atrial block or atrial aberrancy, and third degree or advanced. In first degree, partial interatrial block (P-IAB), the electrical impulse is conducted to the left atrium, through the Bachmann’s region, but with delay. The ECG shows a P-wave ≥ 120 ms. In third-degree, advanced interatrial block (A-IAB), the electrical impulse is blocked in the upper part of the interatrial septum (Bachmann region); the breakthrough to LA has to be performed retrogradely from the AV junction zone. This explains the p ± in leads II, III and aVF. In typical cases of A-IAB, the P-wave morphology is biphasic (±) in leads II, III and aVF, because the left atrium is activated retrogradely and, therefore, the last part of the atrial activation falls in the negative hemifield of leads II, III and aVF. Recently, some atypical cases of A-IAB have been described. The presence of A-IAB is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation, stroke, dementia, and premature death.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
