VT or SVT ?
Definitions
Wide QRS complex tachycardia is a rhythm with a rate of
≥100 bpm and QRS duration of ≥ 120 ms
VT : 80% of Wide QRS Complex Tachycardia
SVT with abberancy 15 to 20%
SVT with bystander preexcitation and antidromic reentrant
tachycardia: 1% to 6%
Causes of WQRS TACHYCARDIA

FOCAL VT
• SVT
• SVT with pre existing RBBB
• SVT with functional RBBB
LBBB morphology wide QRS
tachycardia
• VT
• Structurally normal heart
• RVOT VT
• Abnormal heart
• Right ventricular myocardial VT
• ARVD
• SVT
• Mahaim fibre mediated tachycardia
• SVT with preexisting LBBB
SVT vs VT : Clinical history
DURATION
• Low sensitivity(5-20%)
Capture beats
Capture beats, or Dressler beats, are QRS
complexes during a WCT that are identical to the
sinus QRS complex .
• Evidence of prior MI
• QT interval
R wave >30ms
small R wave notching of S wave

fast downslope
of S wave > 70ms
V6 Q wave

• True LBBB

• R/S ratio in RBB type wide QRS tachycrdia less
than one, favors VT
Sensitivity-0.73
Specificity-0.79
Positive predictive value 0.9
Josephson’s sign
• Notching near the nadir of the S-wave
• Suggest VT
