Electrophysiology: Ventricular tachycardia: diagnosis of broad QRS complex tachycardia.
having a broad QRS complex, it is important to be able to diVerentiate between a supraventricular and a ventricular tachycardia. Medication given for the treatment of a supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) may be harmful to a patient with a ventricular tachycardia (VT). 2 A reasonable haemodynamic condition during a tachycardia may erroneously lead to the wrong diagnosis of SVT. Familiarity with ...
متن کاملVentricular tachycardia as default diagnosis in broad complex tachycardia.
In the differential diagnosis of broad-complex tachycardia, the most important decision is whether or not the tachycardia is ventricular, since this type carries the worst prognosis. However, the rules for a diagnosis of ventricular tachycardia are so complex that they are not satisfied in many cases, and the default diagnosis, supraventricular tachycardia, is erroneously accepted. We sought to...

متن کاملSaturday night broad QRS complex tachycardia in a young male
On a Saturday night, a 24-year-old male with palpitations was admitted to the Emergency Department. The arrhythmia started 8 h earlier while he was riding his bicycle. He had never experienced this sensation before. He admitted prior usage of cocaine, LSD and XTC. He denied the use of any drugs on the night of presentation. Physical examinations revealed no abnormalities except a very fast hear...
متن کاملRole of echocardiography in differential diagnosis of broad complex tachycardia.
It is not always easy to distinguish between supraventricular tachycardia with aberration and ventricular tachycardia by electrocardiographic analysis alone. M mode echocardiography can often help by providing direct or indirect evidence of the relation between atrial and ventricular contraction. Sixteen consecutive patients with spontaneous sustained broad QRS complex tachycardia with heart ra...
