Broad QRS Tachycardia: Recognizing Characteristic Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
A stepwise analytic approach is needed to decipher tachyarrhythmia electrocardiograms. It also important be able promptly recognize certain characteristic patterns described in some classical arrhythmias. Knowledge of these unique electrocardiogram morphologies and the underlying reasons for them help quick diagnosis appropriate management.

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 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 کاملWide QRS Complex Tachycardia
A 71-year-old man with a history of previous myocardial infarction was referred to our hospital for recurrent symptoms of palpitation and syncope. During an episode of palpitations, a 12-lead ECG (Figure 1) was obtained in the emergency room. The ECG shows a wide-QRS complex tachycardia at a rate of 167 bpm. The P waves are positive in lead II (↑) before each QRS complex, and the PR interval is...
متن کاملQRS supraventricular tachycardia
To determine the value of alternation of QRS morphology in determining the site of origin of sustained narrow QRS supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), we retrospectively studied 163 distinct tachycardias in 161 patients (ages 4 to 91 years) in whom the site of origin of SVT was proven by intracardiac electrophysiologic study. Sustained SVT was defined as lasting longer than 30 sec. Narrow QRS wa...
