چکیده

We present a case of wide-complex tachycardia with negative concordance in the precordial leads and a qR pattern in V6, in a 42-year-old man with risk factors for coronary artery disease, in whom the electrocardiogram criteria were apparently fallible. This case highlights the key contribution of the electrophysiological study in rendering correct diagnosis.

A new approach to the differential diagnosis of a regular tachycardia with a wide QRS complex.

BACKGROUND In the differential diagnosis of a tachycardia with a wide QRS complex (greater than or equal to 0.12 second) diagnostic mistakes are frequent. Therefore, we investigated the reasons for failure of presently available criteria, and we identified new, simpler criteria and incorporated them in a stepwise approach that provides better sensitivity and specificity for making a correct dia...
