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 ECG (Figure 1), recorded in the emergency room, shows a wide complex tachycardia at 205 bpm. Wide complex tachycardias are more likely to be ventricular tachycardia (VT) than supraventricular ...

The e method, validated in a multicenter study led by the Hospital Clínico San Carlos and the CNIC, enables preoperative planning based on a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging strategy that avoids the ...

Ventricular tachycardia (VT) after palliative repair of congenital heart disease is relatively rare. Despite this rarity, VT is a known cause of early, intermediate and late morbidity and mortality in ...

This wide QRS complex tachycardia has a typical left bundle branch block pattern, but two things give the clue that this is ventricular tachycardia. There is a fusion beat (second from left) present ...

There is clearly a tachycardia with narrow QRS complexes indicating a supraventricular rhythm. The clues to the aetiology are the heart rate of almost exactly 150 / min and the saw tooth waves seen ...

A 92-year-old woman was admitted to hospital with pneumonia. Her medical history included a percutaneous coronary intervention and subsequent diagnosis of ischemic cardiomyopathy 15 years earlier.

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 ...
