Most wide QRS complex tachycardias (WCTs) are ventricular or supraventricular in origin, but to differentiate between the two can present a diagnostic challenge. To develop and test an algorithm that ...

Dr. Nino Mihatov: A 52-year-old woman was evaluated for a new wide-complex tachycardia that developed while she was hospitalized for the management of seizures. Five days before the development of ...

The correct diagnosis is ventricular tachycardia (Figure 2). The rhythm is regular with a rate of 130 beats/min. The QRS complexes are wide (0.16 sec) without the morphology of a typical right or left ...

Ventricular tachycardia arises from an abnormal electrical focus or circuit in the myocardium of the ventricle and is usually manifested as a tachyarrhythmia with a wide QRS complex on ...

The correct diagnosis is sinus tachycardia (Figure 2). The rhythm is regular at a rate of 120 beats/min, and a single premature complex is seen (^). The QRS complexes are wide (0.18 sec). An RSR' ...

Receipt of a cardiac-resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) offers long term benefit for patients with heart failure, reduced ejection fraction, and a widened QRS complex, according to a ...

The survival benefit of a cardiac resynchronization therapy-defibrillator (CRT-D) lasts for several years in patients with mild-to-moderate symptoms of heart failure (HF), a reduced ejection fraction, ...

Although premature ventricular beats (PVBs) in young people and athletes are usually benign, they may rarely mark underlying heart disease and risk of sudden cardiac death during sport. This review ...
