A regular, wide-QRS complex tachycardia: what is the tachycardia mechanism?
نویسنده
چکیده
A 45-year-old woman underwent an electrophysiology procedure because of a 20-year history of recunent episodes of paroxysmal tachycardia. The baseline sinus cycle length, atrial-His. and His-ventricular intervals were 700, 60, and 45 msec, respectively, and the QRS duration was 80 msec. Ventricular pacing at a cycle length of 300 msec induced a tachycardia that had a cycle length of 320 msec and a QRS duration of 120 msec, with a right bundle branch block configuration (Fig. 1). The tachycardia was terminated by ventricular pacing at cycle lengths shorter than 290 msec. Atrial pacing at a cycle length of 320 msec was performed in the setting of sinus rhythm (Fig. 2). What is the mechanism of this tachycardia?

A 45-year-old man presented with an acute anterior wall myocardial infarction and underwent successful percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the left anterior descending coronary artery. Twenty-four hours later, a wide QRS tachycardia at a rate of 108 beats/min that had a QRS duration of 150 msec was noted by telemetric monitoring. There were no symptoms associated with the tachycardia. A 12...

Fig.1 shows a premature atrial complex (PAC) introduced during a narrow QRS tachycardia. What is the response and what is the interpretation? The tachycardia is a regular RBBB tachycardia with cycle length of 440 ms and ventriculo-atrial interval of 30 ms. There is near simultaneous activation of atrium and ventricle during tachycardia. Presence of His deflection prior to the QRS makes ventricu...

A 44-year old lady underwent electrophysiology study for recurrent palpitations and documented narrow QRS regular tachycardia. The baseline ECG showed subtle preexcitation that was easily manifest on atrial pacing. The retrograde atrial activation sequence during ventricular pacing was eccentric suggesting retrograde conduction over the accessory pathway. A regular narrow QRS tachycardia with c...

A 42-year-old woman was referred for radiofrequency catheter ablation of narrow QRS tachycardia that was terminated with intravenous adenosine. Baseline twelve-lead ECG was normal during sinus rhythm and transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated no evidence of structural heart disease. The electrophysiological study showed a normal AH interval of 114 ms and HV interval of 37 ms during sinus r...
