They had already cardioverted at 120 J, then 200 J, which resulted in the following: Ventricular Tachycardia They then cardioverted at 200 J which r esulted in the same narrow complex rhythm shown above, at 185 beats per minute. This would treat both SVT or sinus tachycardia. I suggested esmolol if the heart rate did not improve.

In addition to sinus tachycardia, the only abnormalities listed by the computer were "low voltage, precordial leads" and "anteroseptal infarct, old.Q Next trop 85,528 ng/L (consistent with a massive myocardial infarction), none further measured. 4) There is well formed J-point notching.
