ECG Blog #373 — 86yo and this Rhythm.

Ken Grauer, MD

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. RVEF 100 ml/m2.

Evaluation of patients with implantable cardioverter?defibrillator in a Latin American tertiary center

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Chagas disease (ChD) was associated with increased rates of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation in ICD patients only in the initial two periods, but there was no statistical difference in the last period. Progressive decline across periods in mortality rates among patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).
