Regular Narrow Complex
• Sinus Tachycardia • Atrial Tachycardia • Atrioventricular Nodal Tachycardia (AVNRT) • Atrioventricular Tachycardia (AVRT, Orthodromic)
• Atrial flueer
Sinus Tachycardia Atrial Tachycardia
EKG characteristics: Constant PR interval Varies with stimulation/respiration Normal Rate 220 bpm –age (yrs) Etiology: Physiologic Treatment: Fix underlying physiologic insult (Fever, anxiety, thyrotoxicosis, exogenous catecholamines, anticholinergic, LV dysfunction- MI etc.
EKG characteristics: Atrial rate 150-250 Distinct P wave morphology Etiology: CHF, HTN, electrolyte abnormalities Treatment: Adenosine, Class II, Class III *Dig toxicity?
AV Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia (AVNRT)
• EKG characteris9cs: Rate 140-‐280, P wave undetected (ac9va9on atria/ventricle simultaneously),
• E9ology: Triggered by PACs, Reentry at AV node (atrial stretch, inflamma9on, irritability-‐ catecholamines)
• Treatment: Vagal maneuvers, Adenosine 6-‐12 mg IV push, Ca++ channel blockers, Digoxin, Beta blockers
AV Nodal Tachycardia (AVRT) or Orthodromic
• E9ology: Macroreentry through normal conduc9on system with accessory AV pathway; Delayed ac9va9on of atria = visible P wave
• Treatment: Similar to treatment of AVNRT, AV nodal blockers, eventual abla9on
Atrial Flueer
EKG Characteris9cs: ‘Sawtooth’ paeern: atrial rate ~300, ventricular rate 75-‐150 bpm (unless irregular). Usually with 2:1/4:1block at AV node. Rhythm constant amplitude, morphology, dura9on. **May be variable and irregular
E9ology: Reentrant circuit in the wall of the atrium
Treatment: Class III (Ibu9lide, sotalol, amiodarone): prolong refractory period (not slowing conduc9on) *Small risk for torsades. Ventricular rate control can be difficult, AV nodal blockers prevent 1:1 conduc9on. Unmasking of flueer waves with adenosine.
*Nonpharmacological : Rapid pacing or low voltage DC cardioversion is effec9ve.
Regular Wide Complex
• Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) • Wide complex SVT
– Bundle branch block – An9dromic-‐ Wolf-‐Parkinson-‐White (WPW) – Pacemaker-‐mediated
Monomorphic VT
EKG characteris9cs: 3 consecu9ve beats >100 bpm, QRS >120ms Brugada criteria: Precordial leads-‐ No RS complex or RS >100ms, AV dissocia9on, QRS morphology E9ology: CAD, CM, Ischemia Treatment: Correct aggrava9ng condi9ons (hypokalemia, ischemia) *Wide QRS presumed VT if unclear (LOE: C). *DCCV unstable (LOE: C). Class Ia: Procainamide-‐ careful in LV dysfunc9on, CHF, hypotension-‐ prolong QT. Class III-‐ Sotalol, Amiodarone (benefit IV to PO). Class IIb-‐ IV lidocaine ini9al treatment associated with MI (LOE: C).
Wide Complex SVT
• EKG characteristcs: Regular, Wide complex, Fails Brugada criteria • E9ology: BBB/IVCD, Preexcita9on, Presence of PPM/ICD • Treatment: WPW-‐ Procainamide (*Avoid AV nodal blockers) • Vagal maneuvers, Adenosine, Class II, Class III, Cardioversion
Delta wave WPW Pacemaker-‐
Mediated
Irregular Narrow Complex
• Atrial fibrilla9on • MAT
• Sinus Tachycardia w/ Premature atrial contrac9ons (PACs)
• SVT with block
Atrial Fibrilla9on
EKG Characteris9cs: Irregularly Irregular.
E9ology: Numerous waves of depolariza9on spreading throughout the atria, leading to an absence of coordinated atrial contrac9on.
Treatment: Stable: rate control not rhythm control – AFFIRM trial (NEJM 2002). Class II, Class IV, Class III, Digoxin: HF (inotropic support). Unstable: Low voltage DC cardioversion
Mul9focal Atrial Tachycardia (MAT)
• EKG characteris9cs: at least 3 P wave morphologies, variable intervals P-‐P, R-‐R, P-‐R, look for isoelectric baseline
• E9ology: No single dominant pacemaker, mul9ple atrial foci fire independently. COPD/CHF
• Treatment: Treat underlying cause (electrolyte derangement, hypoxemia). Rate control-‐ Class IV-‐ CCBs, Class II-‐ Beta-‐blockers
ST • PACs
Irregular, Wide Complex • Polymorphic VT
– E9ology: Ischemia, Catecholamines – Treatment: Defibrilla9on
• Ventricular fibrilla9on, Torsades de pointes – E9ology-‐ QT prolonga9on, Class I, III-‐ prolong refractory period

Ini9al considera9ons • Stable?

• Pharmacologic – Atropine (selec9ve muscarinic antagonist)
– Epinephrine, Dopamine
• Non-‐pharmacologic – Transcutaneous pacing > Transvenous – Expert consulta9on, PPM

• Treatment: Symptoma9c? • CCB and Beta-‐blocker overdose-‐ IV calcium, glucagon
with or without insulin
Junctional Escape Idioventricular Escape
EKG Characteristics: 40-60 bpm (regular w/ narrow QRS), No P waves, >60bpm= ‘accelerated’
Etiology: Escape rhythm with focus from AV node
Treatment: Usually stable.
EKG Characteristics: Regular rate 30-45 bpm, QRS wide (below AV node), >60bpm= ‘accelerated’
Etiology: Focus in His-bundle branch system
Treatment: Pacing
3rd Degree AV block
EKG Characteristics: No relationship between P waves and QRS, atrial rate faster than ventricular rate, PP intervals and RR intervals remain regular and constant
Etiology: Inferior MI
Symptoms: Syncopal symptoms, angina, CHF
Treatment: Transcutaneous Pacemaker
1st Degree AV block
EKG Characteristics: Prolongation of the PR interval, which is constant. All P waves are conducted
Etiology: Usually benign
Treatment: None
2nd Degree AV Block (Mobitz I, Wenckebach)
EKG Characteristics: Progressive prolongation of the PR interval until a P wave is not conducted. PR interval prolongs, the RR interval actually shortens, Narrow QRS.
Etiology: High AV nodal block. Usually benign unless associated with underlying pathology, i.e. Inferior MI, Toxicity (beta-blockers, CCBs).
2nd Degree AV Block (Mobitz II)
EKG Characteristics: Constant PR interval with intermittent failure to conduct. Rhythm is dangerous as the block is lower in the conduction system
Etiology: Infranodal His-Purkinje system conduction delay. Inferior/Anterior MI-fibrotic disease of the conduction system
Leu Bundle Branch Block
R-wave (R’) in V1, and a slurred S-wave in V5 - V6.
QS or rS complex in lead V1 and a monophasic or notched R wave in lead V6.

Etiology: Congenital, MI, PE
