In that study commonest ECG abnormalites were QTc prolongation followed by brady/tachycardia and then ST segment deviations [3]. Cerebrovascular damage can cause cardiac arrhythmias related to disinhibition of right insular cortex with resulting increased sympathetic tone. 2009 Nov;40(11):3478-84. Epub 2009 Aug 27.

Notice there is tachycardia. I have warned in the past that one must think of other etiologies of ischemia when there is tachycardia. In this case, the patient had failed to take his atenolol in the AM and was having reflex tachycardia in addition to ACS. Blackwell Publishing 2009. BP was 160/100. younger smoker).

Another way that WPW can be concealed is in the very rare (~15% of all WPW patients) retrograde-only conduction, in which the accessory pathway ONLY allows retrograde conduction, which obviously wouldn't show a delta wave on sinus EKG but still predisposes the patient to re-entry tachycardias.

She was awake, alert, well perfused, with normal mental status and overall unremarkable physical exam except for a regular tachycardia, possible rales at both bases, some mild RUQ abdominal tenderness. Thus, I believe it is a regular, monomorphic, wide complex tachycardia. Or it could simply still be classic VT. What is the Diagnosis?

If the patient has Abnormal Vital Signs (fever, hypotension, tachycardia, or tachypnea, or hypoxemia), then these are the primary issue to address, as there is ongoing pathology which must be identified. The most recent and probably best study is this: Canadian Syncope Arrhythmia Risk Score. Arch Intern Med 2009 Jul 27; 169:1262.
