Narrow-complex tachyarrhythmias are rapid heart rhythms originating in the upper heart chambers, characterized by a QRS duration of less than 120 milliseconds on an EKG. These arrhythmias can be ...

This is a narrow complex tachycardia with a rate of 124 beats/min. The QRS morphology and axis are normal. The QTc is prolonged, at 529 ms (normal, 390-450 ms for men). The underlying P waves appear ...

Peter Spector, M.D.; Nicole Habel, M.D. The first step in an electrophysiologic study is passive observation. One can examine the initiation and termination of tachycardia for clues as to its ...

This is a narrow QRS complex tachycardia with a very fast heart rate (about 250 beats per minute). It is quite difficult to indentify any P wave activity to determine the exact etiology. Most commonly ...

Supraventricular tachycardia is a term used to describe any heart rhythm that is greater than 100 beats per minute originating from above the AV node (the atrium). The term “SVT” can be confusing at ...

Wide complex tachycardia is a general term that refers to conditions that cause an unusually fast heart rate and a particular pattern on an EKG. Tachycardia is when your heart beats unusually fast, ...
