She had a single chamber ICD/Pacemaker implanted several years prior due to ventricular tachycardia. Are you confident there is no ischemia? Answer : The ECG above shows a regular wide complex tachycardia. Said differently, the ECG shows a rather slow ventricular tachycardia with a 2:1 VA conduction. Is this: 1.

A prehospital 12-lead was recorded: There is a regular wide complex tachycardia. The computer diagnosed this as Ventricular Tachycardia. There is a wide complex regular tachycardia at a rate of 226. Toothache, incidental Wide Complex Tachycardia Could it be fascicular VT or Bundle Branch VT ( i.e., idiopathic VT )?

Ventricular tachycardia is a potentially life threatening cardiac arrhythmia. On the ECG, ventricular tachycardia can be defined as three or more ventricular ectopic beats occurring in a sequence at a rate more than 100 per minute. Another rare form of ventricular tachycardia is bidirectional ventricular tachycardia.

Three or more ventricular beats in a row at a rate above 100 per minute is termed ventricular tachycardia. Ventricular tachycardia lasting more 30 seconds or requiring termination earlier due to hemodynamic compromise is called sustained ventricular tachycardia. Either case, the treatment is ablation of the right bundle.

Is there ischemia? ECG Diagnosis is either : 1) junctional rhythm with new LBBB, and possibly ischemia 2) accelerated idoventricular rhythm with possible ischemia, and possibly related to restoration of normal perfusion. Exactly how they relate to ischemia, chest pain, and reperfusion can only be speculated about.

We see a regular tachycardia with a narrow QRS complex and no evidence of OMI or subendocardial ischemia. The differential of a regular narrow QRS tachycardia is sinus tachycardia, SVT, and atrial flutter with regular conduction. Now the patient is in sinus tachycardia. Her initial EKG is below. Adenosine worked.

Here is his 12-lead: There is a wide complex tachycardia with a rate of 257, with RBBB and LPFB (right axis deviation) morphology. Read about Fascicular VT here: Idiopathic Ventricular Tachycardias for the EM Physician Case Continued He was completely stable, so adenosine was administered. See Learning point 1 below.
